Installation on Debian

Introduction

There no packages of laditools and ladish for Debian yet, so they should be installed from GIT.

First, install "jackd" version 2 with D-Bus enabled as described for "unstable" and "stable" below.

JACK2

Debian "squeeze", "testing", "sid"

Install jackd2

apt-get install jackd2

Proceed to section "LADISH" below.

Debian "lenny"

In the older releases, apparently for package dependency reasons, a packaged jackd is required.

The following procedure was tested with the "master.jackd2" branch from  the Debian GIT repository. The produced packages act as drop-in replacements, and most packages depending on jack/libjack will continue to work.

lenny: debuild

git clone --branch master.jackd2 git://git.debian.org/pkg-multimedia/jack-audio-connection-kit.git
cd jack-audio-connection-kit
debuild
cd ..
dpkg -i jackd_1.9.5-1_amd64.deb libjack0_1.9.5-1_amd64.deb libjack-dev_1.9.5-1_amd64.deb

LADISH

Finally, install LADISH from source as described in the installation instructions.

Note: I prefer to install everything into /usr by issuing

./waf configure --prefix=/usr

at configuration time.

As an alternative, you can only install the D-Bus service files into /etc, everything else into /usr/local:

./waf configure --enable-pkg-config-dbus-service-dir

Additional Software (recommended)

Finally, I install laditools (from GIT) and  a2jmidid (from GIT).
