hi, Rosegarden is powerful midi sequencer and notation editor. I saw some people asking for it in the gentoo forums, and since I'm also a musician, I gave it a try. Please read the comments on the ebuild script regarding the IUSE variable. Also there is a problem with the package tarball which doesn't seem to follow gentoo rules for versioning, being called 'rosegarden-4-0.8' instead of 'rosegarden-4.0.8'. This is the first ebuild that I write, so i don't know if i got everything right. thanks mvc

Created attachment 6287 [details] rosegarden-4.0.8.ebuild sorry, i have submited the wrong file. This is the right one. mvc
thanks for submission. I'll get to that in a while. stealing bug.
This ebuild fails on my system, where I did not previously have any KDE stuff installed. I suppose more requirements are needed. Unfortunately, I do not know how to find out which not-yet-installed package contains the artsmidi library ... g++ -shared -nostdlib /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/../../../crti.o /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/crtbeginS.o .libs/AlsaDriver.o .libs/Sequencer.o .libs/SoundDriver.o -Wl,--whole-archive ./.libs/libRosegardenSound.a ../base/.libs/libbase.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/kde/3.1/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1 -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/qt/3/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/qt/3/lib -L/usr/kde/3.1/lib -lartsmidi -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1 -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/../../.. -L/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin -L/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib -L/usr/lib ./.libs/libRosegardenSound.a -L/usr/lib/fltk-1.1 ../base/.libs/libbase.a -lartsmodules /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libartskde.so /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libkio.so /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libkdeui.so /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libkdesu.so /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libkdecore.so /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libDCOP.so -lresolv -lXinerama /usr/lib/libart_lgpl_2.so /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libkdefx.so -lXrender -lutil /usr/lib/libfam.so /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libqtmcop.so -lqt-mt -lpng -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libsoundserver_idl.so /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libkmedia2_idl.so /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libartsflow.so /usr/lib/libaudiofile.so /usr/lib/libvorbisfile.so /usr/lib/libvorbisenc.so /usr/lib/libvorbis.so /usr/lib/libogg.so /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libartsflow_idl.so /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libmcop.so /usr/lib/libjack.so /usr/lib/libglib.so /usr/lib/libasound.so -ldl -lpthread -lz /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/libstdc++.so -lm -lc -lgcc_s -lc /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/crtendS.o /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/../../../crtn.o -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wbad-function-cast -Wundef -Wall -pedantic -W -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -O2 -march=i686 -O3 -pipe -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fexceptions -Wl,-soname -Wl,libRosegardenSequencer.so.0 -o .libs/libRosegardenSequencer.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lartsmidi collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [libRosegardenSequencer.la] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/dev/sda5/space/var/tmp/portage/rosegarden-4.0.8/work/rosegarden-4-0.8/sound' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/dev/sda5/space/var/tmp/portage/rosegarden-4.0.8/work/rosegarden-4-0.8' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

The artsmidi library is part of kdemultimedia, so this package shold be made a prerequisite of rosegarden. I installed kdemultimedia-3.1. This seems to solve the library problem, but I now get a compile problem: g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/kde/3.1/include -I/usr/qt/3/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I../base -I../sound -fexceptions -DRGKDE3 -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wbad-function-cast -Wundef -Wall -pedantic -W -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -O2 -march=i686 -O3 -pipe -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fexceptions -DRGKDE3 -c -o audiopluginmanager.o `test -f audiopluginmanager.cpp || echo './'`audiopluginmanager.cpp audiomanagerdialog.cpp: In member function `void Rosegarden::AudioManagerDialog::slotRename()': audiomanagerdialog.cpp:747: call of overloaded `basic_string(QString&)' is ambiguous /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/include/g++-v3/bits/basic_string.tcc:226: candidates are: std::basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc>::basic_string(const _CharT*, const _Alloc& = _Alloc()) [with _CharT = char, _Traits = std::char_traits<char>, _Alloc = std::allocator<char>] /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/include/g++-v3/bits/basic_string.tcc:192: std::basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc>::basic_string(const std::basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Alloc>&) [with _CharT = char, _Traits = std::char_traits<char>, _Alloc = std::allocator<char>] make[3]: *** [audiomanagerdialog.o] Error 1 make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[3]: Leaving directory `/mnt/dev/sda5/space/var/tmp/portage/rosegarden-4.0.8/work/rosegarden-4-0.8/gui' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/dev/sda5/space/var/tmp/portage/rosegarden-4.0.8/work/rosegarden-4-0.8/gui' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/dev/sda5/space/var/tmp/portage/rosegarden-4.0.8/work/rosegarden-4-0.8' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

Created attachment 8011 [details] rosegarden-4.0.8.5.ebuild Ebuild that uses the current rosegarden distribution and compiles on a current gentoo system
Commited. Masked as ~x86 as i don't have the midi hardware to fully test. Can move to stable when get feedback.
External MIDI tested on a SB Live soundcard with a Yamaha PSR 500M keyboard. Both sending and recieving external MIDI seems to work fine when playing back MIDI data, as well as recording data to a track from the keyboard. The MIDI through function also can be used to play on the keyboard and have the SB Live's internal synth (if set as the device for a channel) follow it. But note this is definitely a 0.8.5 release. There are a variety of little bugs in this version of Rosegarden R4 that annoy me. I cannot remember them all, but these bugs include being able to drag notes in the piano roll/matrix in a manner where they offset themselves a measure or so horizontally while dragged, hanging after a panic shutoff and then play being pressed, some manner where I was able to get rosegarden to crash by erasing something that did not exist (currently cannot replicate), etc. There are also a variety of things I'd like to see in it (control over what the metronome plays, notation chord entry via MIDI on the piano roll, etc.), but RG R4-0.8.5 is definitely mostly usable. I do not know if any of the above are fixed and/or added in CVS.
Created attachment 11427 [details] rosegarden-4.0.9.ebuild (new upstream version) Mean time between crashes in the notation editor has improved from 2 minutes to 10 minutes, which is a great improvement :-). There is now an autosave function, which works well, so the editor can now actually be used without too much data loss. Definitely should be left at ~x86 though.
There is a new upstream version: rosegarden-4-0.9.1 The current rosegarden-4.0.9.ebuild works without change when renamed to rosegarden-4.0.9.1.ebuild
