Hercules has released a linux driver for its controller for linux. Since unfortunatelly I have no idea on how to compile it, I request an ebuild to test it, and possibly, to include it in main tree. For more information: http://ts.hercules.com/eng/index.php?pg=view_files&gid=2&fid=28&pid=179&cid=1 Reproducible: Always
I've found a page with a comment of a gentoo user that claims to have it working under gentoo. I've tried to do those commands successfully, but I couldn't test if it really works yet because I am not at home now. The page is: http://www.mixxx.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=497 DKMS is needed in order to build the module. I don't know if there is another possibility, should I add another bug requesting DKMS ebuild for gentoo? I'll post again later when I go home to try the DJ Console.
I cannot edit my previous post. In order to give clearer access to that post, I update the URI link with an anchor to see directly the interesting post. See http://www.mixxx.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=497#p1693 instead of previous one.
It needs some symbols to be compiled in kernel (or as a module): Unknown symbol snd_rawmidi_receive Unknown symbol snd_rawmidi_transmit_empty Unknown symbol snd_rawmidi_transmit Unknown symbol snd_rawmidi_transmit_ack Unknown symbol snd_rawmidi_new Unknown symbol snd_rawmidi_set_ops So the ebuild should check if CONFIG_SND_RAWMIDI and CONFIG_SND_VIRMIDI are present in .config file.
More info: it appears that libdjconsole conflicts with this driver, so we could EWARN that mixxx needs to be compiled without it.
Final info: I have it working making the steps mentioned in last forum URI with mixxx 1.6.1 (from bug #252895). With a note: module snd-seq-midi (if built as a module) SHOULD be modprobed before attempting to use mixxx and this device in order to avoid a SIGSEGV. As a final question: would it be possible to compile this module without DKMS? As I've seen, DKMS will recompile module if kernel is changed, but this can (and should) be handled with emerge @module-rebuild to be more gentooish. How about that? Unfortunatelly, I don't have any clue on how to do an ebuild for this, but at least, finally is tested and working.
Hello, I've never written an ebuild and do not own a DJ console but these are the steps I followed in order to AT LEAST compile and insert successfully into the kernel Hercules' hdj module, without DKMS. =================================================== Download Hercules_DJSeries_Linux.tgz from Hercules support website. Extract all the content, kernel module source plus Control Panel source # tar -xvzf Hercules_DJSeries_Linux.tgz We are just interested in the kernel module # cd "kernel module" Kernel module is packed as an RPM archive, so we transform it in a plain tar gzipped archive # rpm2tgz hdjmod-dkms-1.28-1.noarch.rpm And we extract the kernel module source # tar -xvzf hdjmod-dkms-1.28-1.noarch.tgz We then copy from the nested directory structure just the directory we need and place it next to our kernel source tree # cp -a hdjmod-dkms-1.28-1.noarch/usr/src/hdjmod-1.28/ /usr/src/ Then we move into the directory # cd /usr/src/hdjmod-1.28/ Compile modules # make modules make -C /lib/modules/2.6.29.1-d/build M=/usr/src/hdjmod-1.28 LDDINC=/usr/src/hdjmod-1.28 modules make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.29.1' CC [M] /usr/src/hdjmod-1.28/device.o In file included from include/net/rtnetlink.h:5, from include/net/neighbour.h:27, from include/net/dst.h:15, from include/net/sock.h:59, from /usr/src/hdjmod-1.28/device.c:37: include/net/netlink.h: In function 'nla_put_msecs': include/net/netlink.h:823: warning: declaration of 'jiffies' shadows a global declaration include/linux/jiffies.h:82: warning: shadowed declaration is here CC [M] /usr/src/hdjmod-1.28/bulk.o CC [M] /usr/src/hdjmod-1.28/configuration_manager.o CC [M] /usr/src/hdjmod-1.28/midi.o CC [M] /usr/src/hdjmod-1.28/midicapture.o CC [M] /usr/src/hdjmod-1.28/midirender.o LD [M] /usr/src/hdjmod-1.28/hdj_mod.o Building modules, stage 2.

Excellent job Florian, I wrote that howto mentioned above, but this is much easier Gentoo-elegant solution, tested, compiled fine. Portage 2.1.6.13 (default/linux/x86/2008.0, gcc-4.4.1, glibc-2.10.1-r0, 2.6.31-gentoo i686)

following ilGino excelent guide, i just needed to do # depmod -a right after "# make install" in order to modprobe see the module. thanks again ilGino!
just one more thing: with this ebuild (1.28 without dkms) i cant get RMX to send midi signals. BUT building 1.28 from dkms all works fine. see here: http://www.mixxx.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=851&p=2807#p2807
First, thanks to you folks for this thread! I haven't set up a layman directory in order to test the ebuild, but I was able to get the driver built and installed following the steps here, however Two things ... First I can't get the patch to patch. I get this error: patching file device.c Hunk #1 FAILED at 1660. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file device.c.rej Perhaps I am using the patch command wrong? I did however manually edit the file to apply the patches to get it to compile. Second, would it be useful to copy the udev rules (udev/98-hdj.rules) into the /etc/udev/rules.d/ directory? Could this be added to the ebuild? Again, thanks for getting this to work.
Merry Christmas ;-) snd_card_create.patch has to be in "files/" subdirectory, will be used by ebuild. Works for me... I added the commands to copy the udev rules into /etc/rules.d, maybe this also fixes the problem with the RMX. I only have the DJ Control MP3, so I can't confirm it ;-)

I don't see dkms going into the tree anytime soon so I am going to look at patching this to compile without it. Its either that or mixxx needs to go into an overlay with dkms and this ebuild.
Created attachment 223843 [details] media-libs/hdj_mod/hdj_mod-1.28.ebuild tested and working ebuild for x86 && amd64. This ebuild actually installs the module ;) I will see if I can get this committed.
Thanks for the work! As far as i know, BUILD_PARAMS had something to do with the kernel/makefile not detecting "amd64" arch, only x86_64, but now it works. So we can remove this line completely. After a closer look at 98-hdj.rules, I think we don't need it. As far as I understand udev, the only thing it does is calling two helper scripts (not installed by ebuild). They send SIGUSR1 to hdjmodd und hjdcpl (see /var/tmp/portage/media-sound/hdj_mod-1.28/work/hdj_mod-1.28/udev). But I never saw hdjmodd or hdjcpl, so I think we can remove the udev part.
I just took a look and it seems the remove script is just killing the process of hdjmodd and hdjcpl. The module i think corresponds to what this ebuild installed as hdj_mod and the hdjcpl... I am guessing that was not installed and I have no idea what it is. I didnt write this driver so I dont know why it would like to be killed like this but what should probably happen is the remove script should be renamed and moved to /lib(64)/udev/ and the udev script patched with some sed foo. The above step should probably be repeated for the add script which I think is identical to the remove script. I will see if I can take care of that later today. In other news I am trying to get a mk2 on ebay right now, and if that fails I will probably just buy one on amazon. After I get it I will see if I can maintain this ebuild so we can get it in to the tree. (In reply to comment #19)

Hi. I have tried a lot of stuff and with some trial and error I got the hdjmod working on 2.6.37 kernel with Hercules MP3 e2 support doing the following, for ebuild creation: Download source: # wget ftp://ftp.hercules.com/pub/webupdate/DJCSeries/Hercules_DJSeries_Linux.tgz Like ilGino said: Extract all the content, kernel module source plus Control Panel source # tar -xvzf Hercules_DJSeries_Linux.tgz We are just interested in the kernel module # cd "kernel module" Kernel module is packed as an RPM archive, so we transform it in a plain tar gzipped archive # rpm2tgz hdjmod-dkms-1.28-1.noarch.rpm And we extract the kernel module source # tar -xvzf hdjmod-dkms-1.28-1.noarch.tgz We then copy from the nested directory structure just the directory we need and place it next to our kernel source tree # cp -a hdjmod-dkms-1.28-1.noarch/usr/src/hdjmod-1.28/ /usr/src/ Then we move into the directory # cd /usr/src/hdjmod-1.28/ Google for a hour to find this on Archlinux AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25214 Download patches needed: # wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hdjmod/hdjmod/kernel_2.6.31_fix.patch # wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hdjmod/hdjmod/kernel_2.6.35_fix.diff # wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hdjmod/hdjmod/dj_console_mp3_e2.patch # wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hdjmod/hdjmod/kernel_2.6.37_fix.patch Edit kernel_2.6.35_fix.diff due to a hardcoded link to ARCH kernel: On line 125 # -#include "/usr/src/linux-2.6.37-ARCH/include/linux/slab.h" # +#include "/usr/src/linux-2.6.37-gentoo/include/linux/slab.h" Might need some better mod, this is a dirty fix.

(In reply to comment #45) > patching doesn't seem to work here > kernel_2.6.35_fix.patch is failing due to "No file to patch. Skipping patch." which is making me wonder how you applied the kernel_2.6.31_fix.patch which also patches the device.c that was not found in the .35 patch. I have tested this on x86 and amd64 and all patches are applying fine for me. Is there something strange with your overlay?
No, the patch thing is failing earlier. Normally, it tries out some -pnum settings, and if one is successful, it exits happily. The patches here are all written so that you have to use the -p0 option. But when portage tries to do this, it gets the --------- (Stripping trailing CRs from patch.) patching file bulk.c Hunk #1 FAILED at 34. Hunk #2 FAILED at 461. Hunk #3 FAILED at 553. ... --------- messages, so something has to be wrong with this patch. Portage tries as usual with another -pnum option. And with all those other ones, it doesn't find the files because -p0 was the right one When I try to manually patch the files with patch -p0 < /var/lib/layman/flokli/media-sound/hdj_mod/files/kernel_2.6.35_fix.patch after portage failed, I get the same errors from above. I simply copied the ebuilds and patches into my overlay, but you can check it out here: http://git.flokli.de/flokli-overlay/tree/media-sound/hdj_mod I'm on amd64.

Hello, everyone. It seems that at least one ebuild related to this bug exists in the Sunrise overlay at the moment. However, I have to regretfully announce that after a long inactivity period the Sunrise project has been discontinued and the related overlay will be eventually removed. For this reason, I'd like to ask you to reevaluate the ebuilds and consider moving them. If you'd like to maintain a package from Sunrise in Gentoo, please take a look at our Proxy Maintainers [1] project. Please make sure to take ebuilds from the unreviewed developer Sunrise repository [2] rather than the -reviewed one, since the latter has not been updated for over a year. While at it, please note that: 1. Adding a package to Gentoo requires declaring yourself as an active maintainer for it. All bugs regarding the package will be assigned to you, and you will be expected to maintain it. 2. Some packages may not be suitable for addition anymore. While there's no strong rules that would prevent you from adding a package, it may be a bad idea to add old-unmaintained packages that will shortly result in a large number of bugs reported with no solution. If that is the case, please close the bug as RESOLVED/OBSOLETE to make it easier to find packages worth adding. 3. Some of the bugs were already closed as WONTFIX/OBSOLETE/... while the relevant ebuild was kept in Sunrise. If you disagree with the original decision, you still can add the ebuild via proxy-maint. 4. Pleaes note that many of the Sunrise ebuilds are old and may be buggy. If you decide to move them, please make sure to update/clean them up. The proxy-maint team will also review your ebuilds, therefore making sure they land in Gentoo in good quality. Once again, thank you for your contribution. We hope that you will still want to contribute to Gentoo, through proxy-maint or otherwise.
