Help needed: trying to install Rosegarden on Slackware
by fredmyra from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5K24H)
Hi!
I am a still newbie who has succeeded in getting Live Slackware Mate running from full install on internal HDs on 2 machines, and from one external SSD in 2 machines (one of them a macbook 2010 w 16 GB ram).
I also run Slackware current from another partition in one of the machines with the full install and Slacckware Live DAW from a USBstick on the 2 machines I have used with the SSD.
The machines I use with SSD are not multiboots -which my other machines are - as I want to preserve their original configurations. The SSD itself is a multiboot. I have used Slackware Live Mate very frequently on all of them for more than a year before attempting to install.
Before and after installing it has solved all my basic needs, with the exception of one thus far: my studies in music.
I am used to have Audacity, Rosegarden, Qsynth , Musescore, Jack and QJackCTL solving all my musical needs. I have still to build my first Slackware package, and I am still scared about it. The more I read the more scared I am, but I am at least aware of the fact that when I have read (and experimented enough) the trend of this development should beguin to invert. I hope.
I believe I have searched sufficiently before posting this and I could not find what I wanted.
My first question is where should I get packages to have a proper install to a fully installed Slackware (Live) Daw. I am not sure it would be right to use the original source from Rosegarden. I found 2 versions of Rosegarden packages for Slackware-based distributions but they were rather old - v.11.x.y and v. 14.x.y.
Would it be safe to try converting from Debian or ArchLinux or perhaps RPM repository?
I would rather stay with Rosegarden since it took me a long time to understand it and I have looked into Ardour which I have installled in several distros, and it is far more scary to me than Rosegarden.
Will be grateful for advice!
