Audicle newbie problem

[d2leo]

I have installed Audicle and when I start it from the command prompt it starts and at the chuck prompt I type chuck and I am not in the right directory and I can't change directory.

Please advise

do you mean miniAudicle? Audicle is experimental and not yet ready for prime time as far as I know.

[d2leo]

This is Audicle not mini Audicle. I will try mini Audiclae and see if I have the same problem.

Oh, you may have much better luck with miniAudicle. Audicle seems to be so far ahead of it's time that it demands every ounce of computing power from the fastest of machines to run properly, or that's what I understand to be true.

Folks generally use either the command line version or miniAudicle. That should help.

[d2leo]

I tried the miniAudicle I get the same result. I add any chuck and I get command not found. It seems I do not have it configured properly.

How do you use Chuck?
I wanted to use it in Ubuntu and have jack record my output into Ardour but I don't have the chops to configure it so I am using it in Vista.

I'm on a Mac, but it should be similar for Vista. After installation, which consisted of just copying one file, i created an icon in my toolbar that points to that icon, then i click on the icon to start miniAudicle.

Alternatively I could just click on the icon in my Applications folder, if I didn't know how to make the toolbar icon.

Sorry but I don't have any Windows so I cannot advise specifically, but try reading the installation instructions - that should tell you.

I'm on linux also (Ubuntu, debian)
for compiling the newest miniAudicle and ChucK:

install bison flex build-essential libsndfile1-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev

then for jack support: install libjack-dev
and for ALSA support: install libasound2-dev
- - -

now the miniAudicle source code downloadable from ChucK website is version 0.1.3.8 and the ChucK included in the package is version 1.2.1.1 which is not the newest.

extract the whole miniAudicle-0.1.3.8.tgz, you'll see chuck-1.2.1.1 directory there,
you can just delete the files in there.

then get chuck 1.2.1.2 source code, extract and put in the chucl-1.2.1.1 directory we extracted from the miniAudicle package..

after than, in miniAudicle-0.1.3.8 directory, execute make linux-jack
that'd produce miniAudicle executable in wxw directory

i usually copy that to /usr/bin/miniAudicle-jack so i can execute from anywhere.
- - -

do the same and produce the ALSA version by make linux-alsa
i usually put the miniAudicle executable as /usr/bin/miniAudicle
- - -

Normally, if all the compilation and installation is correct,
i just run miniAudicle,
Edit -> Preferences, set for the sound card / sample rate you'd like to use,
Chuck -> Start Virtual Machine (or press start virtual machine in Virtual Machine window)
type in the code in the editor and add shred to test.
i think it'd usualy work.

[d2leo]

I think I am close. I made linux-jack and it ran but when I started it I got an error about looping.
I then tried to make the linux-alsa but it couldn't make it.

When I try to run the jack install and click start Virtual Machine it hangs up.

and when I try to make alsa I get:

I appreciate your help

Sounds like you tried to compile a source directory that you already used to compile once? that would mean it'd be full of files, created by the compiler before, that it would now assume to be fine, but in this case they likely aren't because of the new settings (all of your errors deal with Jack).

I think you can use something like "make clean" or something along those lines to fix this. I never got that bit and tend to simply delete the whole directory and extract the .tar.gz file again and try again. This will probably sound terrible to C++ pro's like Radarsat1 but it works and erases all traces of previous compiling attempts, giving a blank slate.

[d2leo]

Thank you the make clean worked and I reinstalled linux-jack. I still have the problem with the virtual machine hanging on the start up.

[d2leo]

Thank you very much.
MiniAudicle is now working with jack.

[kijjaz]

wow.. exciting. that's great.
