HI Oscar Talks !
Glad you found solution .
Want to report a strange effect i discovered .

I am using Umplayer .
After installing Lmms pet (which works ) i was not longer able to start Umplayer .
Tried to start umplayer from console
I got message " umplayer: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQtNetwork.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN14QObjectPrivate15checkWindowRoleEv " .
So i looked into /usr/lib/libQtNetwork.so.4 and tried if this libary file does affect the Umplayer .
by moving libQtNetwork.so.4 to another place,(to test if this would change somehow the game .)
Did not expect some result.
But it did .
Umplayer worked again as usual and Lmms does not seemed negatively affected .
Everything seems working .
Maybe this /usr/lib/libQtNetwork.so.4 is not necessary and can cause trouble to other programms.
But i really dont know .
Just want to report this experience .

Hello Backi,

Thanks for the report.
I believe this may be one of the problems with including qt libs inside a .pet, you can sometimes get a clash with other qt programs and the libs that come with them.

The libQtNetwork.so.4 is not one that I included in the LMMS .pet
I only put in the ones that were needed ie QtGui, QtCore and QtXml.

I am not sure what to do about this. Maybe if I include all the qt libs together it would overwrite them all as a group and this would be OK, but that would be a case of testing and waiting for other reports. Not sure how much bigger it would make the LMMS .pet if I do this.

I guess the other way is to offer the LMMS .pet without qt libs and specify that qt is a dependency which the user needs to install separately.

It appears that for ZynAddSubFX to work, the separate app itself is required first. I have failed to bring it to Puppy though.

@ Sheepy,
You have to install at least some of the dependencies of ZynAddSubFX (FFTW) before compiling LMMS, but once compiled the ZynAddSubFX plugin within LMMS works without the need to install ZynAddSubFX itself.
However, I have produced .pet packages of ZynAddSubFX as a separate program in the other thread if you want to try them. I didn't do a Lucid version though.

@Backi,
I was unable to reproduce your problem. Booted live pfix=ram and installed UMplayer from PPM. This also installs qt-4.8.0-basic-with-qtwebkit-dpup.pet as a dependency. Starting UMplayer from console gives some debug messages and a couple of warnings but no errors and UMplayer starts (no LMMS yet). Then I installed my LMMS .pet and ran it a couple of times. Tried UMplayer again and it still starts from console with the same messages or from menu with no visible problem.
The qt libs in the LMMS .pet are the same as the ones in the qt-4.8.0 package that is installed with UMplayer. I wonder if you installed a UMplayer from somewhere else or have at some point installed a different qt or a package which has included a different set of qt libs and files.

@capicoso
Thanks for the feedback. You make a lot of sense. I've gone back to the original idea of posting the .pet packages without any qt libs. Installing qt can easily be done from PPM as you say.

@sheepy
Skype also depends on qt of course. Don't think it would be a problem if you use the static version but not certain about that. I believe that is the difference between the 28 Meg version and the 40 Meg version if you are talking about Skype 4. If you make a .pet of LMMS for Lucid hopefully you will post it up. I took it on as an exercise, a bit of homework because I am a student of compiling, but it has proved to be a bit heavy going so I'm hoping to be able to call a halt to my efforts with it, at least for the time being.

Which version of Exprimo did you compile it with? I tried several versions and the sound cuts off.

It does the same thing with Slacko 5.4.0, but works fine with Slacko 5.3.1 and 5.3.3.

HI mini-jaguar !

I am using LMMS 4.13 on Dpupexprimo ...works fine .....everything is included.
Zynnaddsub and sf2 player !
I think it works on Puppyprecise too ...not quite sure .
On Slacko idont know.

Maybe give it a try ...look for it here

It needs qt-4.8.0 libs .

[mini-jaguar]

WHICH Dpup Exprimo? Welche Version???!!!

Strangely enough, it worked on Precise for me too, but the menu entry didn't. Had to start from the console by typing "lmms", but no dropouts like on Exprimo (tried 5.X.3.6.2.1 , 5.X.3.4.12 , Wheezy, and I think two or three other dpups.)

The way to check if it drops out is to go to the short clips in the demos and choose that drum and bass demo. Either it'll sound normal, or the sound will cut off once in a while.

Hi mini-jaguar !

Using it on Dpupexprimo 5X3.6.2.1

install first qt-4.8.0 pet
Download it from link above .
I made an SFS file from it using SGF-combiner.
No problems for me .Works well .
Maybe depends on CPU or RAM ?
Dont know .
