Installation on Mandriva 2010.1, cooker or later

ladish and laditools packages as well as JACK2 with dbus support are provided in Mandriva 2010.1. The installation is therefore simple:

su
passwd:
urpmi ladish
exit

This will install ladish (and libladish, laditools and jack2 as dependencies). You can now go to the tutorial page.

Installation on Mandriva 2010.0 or earlier (building ladish from source)

Earlier versions of Mandriva require that you install ladish from source.

You will need to

  • uninstall the jackit package
  • build the latest jack2 from  source
    cd jack-1.9.5/
    ./waf configure --prefix=/usr --dbus --classic
    ./waf
    su
    passwd:
    ./waf install
    exit
    
  • install the following build dependencies using urpmi
    • dbus-glib-devel, boost-devel
    • pygtk2.0-devel, expat-devel, libdbus-1-devel
    • libglade2-devel, gtk2-devel, libuuid-devel
  • install the following runtime dependencies for laditools using urpmi
    • pygtk2.0, pygtk2.0-libglade, python-vte, python-pyxml
  • get, build and install flowcanvas from  source
  • build ladish from source:
    cd ladish
    ./waf configure --prefix=/usr
    ./waf
    su
    passwd:
    ./waf install
    
    cd laditools
    python setup.py install
    exit
