This requires libQT.
Install it with Pupget, if you don't use KDE already.

Download (2.9 MB):
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Multimedia/hy ... .1-1.1.pup

Requires these, too:
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Multimedia/libaudio2.pup
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Libraries/lib ... 1.5.10.pup

Hydrogen already includes several other libraries, so pay attention:
If you UN-install it again, these libraries will be deleted, too.
If you use another program that needs them, you might have to re-install that one again then

Here is a list of all included libs from /usr/lib:
AuErrorDB
libcurl.so
libcurl.so.3
libcurl.so.3.0.0
libFLAC.so
libFLAC++.so
libFLAC.so.4
libFLAC++.so.4
libFLAC++.so.4.0.1
libFLAC.so.4.1.2
libFLAC.so.6
libFLAC.so.6.0.1
libjack0.80.0-0
libjack-0.80.0.so.0
libjack-0.80.0.so.0.0.23
liblrdf.so.0
liblrdf.so.0.0.0
libraptor.so.1
libraptor.so.1.1.0
libsndfile.so
libsndfile.so.1
libsndfile.so.1.0.12

Most of them can be found as single dotpups here:
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Libraries/
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Multimedia/

I made it from Debian-binaries, as I got an error while trying to compile it with my libQT.

Hi,

I've got it running. Looks (and sounds) good.

Thanks!

I just ran the first three dotpups mentioned (it turned out I already had the QT library when I went into Pupget) and Hydrogen was off and running. Good stuff.

Looks like this will be fun.

Not working so well in grafpup.

ok, I rebooted after realizing it was an Alsa audio error...I had just installed the Grafpup alsa package and it needed rebooting...getting a different error now...

Well it's not going to matter now, as Nathan compiled it and it's working for him, so he's going to include it in usr_multimedia.

Posted: **Wed 17 May 2006, 01:14**

Also, upgrading to Grafpup 103b appears to have solved the problem with your package. It works fine there.

Posted: **Wed 17 May 2006, 03:12**

I compiled it using Puppy-109 in order to maintain as much compatibility as possible, so when I make the binaries available they should run on Grafpup or on Puppy. I plan to release it in two formats, both as a standalone dotpup (although it will require a few external dependencies which I will also supply) and as part of the update to usr_multimedia.sfs for Grafpup, which includes a large selection of audio/video/graphics applications. It's been a pet project of mine for a while. Currently included:
Video/Animation

Cinelerra
Kino
dvGrab
GAP

Audio

Audacity
Ardour
Jack
Hydrogen (if it checks out)
CAPS audio plugins
various LADSPA plugins

3D graphics/Animation

Blender
Yafray

In addition there are numerous support libraries including Python, and a few other goodies like PyGimp. I'm also planning to integrate Povray pretty soon. With the exception of Kino which needs GTK2-2.8+ all of these programs seem to run in Puppy as well, so it's a simple matter to rename it to usr_more.sfs for Puppy usage. Or you can try my new squash program, which can load it on the fly in Puppy (see the thread on squash-0.1).

Not intending to hijack the thread at all, sorry. I guess I got carried away.

no need for an excuse, that is really good news

As I wrote somewhere else, I prefer programs compiled in Puppy, I just used the Debian-package here because I got a QT-error when compiling.
So it is great you had success.
And the other ones look even more interesting *slime running out of my mouth* *gimme the bone pleaseplease*

What about MusE? I've been trying to compile it but been having some difficulties. Hopefully I'll manage to get it sorted soon...

Posted: **Wed 17 May 2006, 12:22**

Haven't looked at MuSe yet (not that I won't). What sort of trouble is it giving you in compiling?

Nathan

Posted: **Wed 17 May 2006, 13:57**

There are quite a few good programs for creating music in Linux. The music industry just hasn't really recognized this yet.

Posted: **Wed 17 May 2006, 13:58**

http://www.muse-sequencer.org/

From the screen shots, this looks quite impressive.

I'll probably get to work on compiling this soon, but I really need to finish my CD up first now that I've got a working copy of Hydrogen in Grafpup Linux.

There's even a score editor, looks great for those who need sheet music printed out.

I released an updated usr_multimedia.sfs today, which can be found at the Grafpup download page http://grafpup.com/download. This now includes Hydrogen and a few more audio plugins than it had before. As I mentioned previously, almost all of these programs will run just fine in Puppy as well as Grafpup, so feel free to give it a try. Also, if you feel inclined to tear it apart and use the binaries in anything else like perhaps megapup go right ahead.

With a couple exceptions (Kino and Cinelerra) all was compiled either in Grafpup or Puppy, mostly in Puppy. Kino wouldn't compile in Puppy or Grafpup so I used Vector, with all the same library versions as are in Grafpup. Cinelerra was taken from a Slax module.

I'll get a few dotpups made shortly for anyone who just wants a certain program and not the whole thing. The whole thing, BTW, is 52 megabytes. I'm going to plug my squash utility here again and mention that it provides a way to run all of this in RAM just like usr_cram does, so if you have the extra memory what you'll get is warp speed using it.

Trying to get this to work under BarelyPup...installed everything, including FLAC, that I'm aware of that I need to get this working...

hydrogen: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libFLAC++.so.4: undefined symbol: FLAC__file_decoder_new

Posted: **Tue 05 Jun 2007, 11:48**

Well...feel free to help any time...

Posted: **Wed 06 Jun 2007, 03:15**

Still would love some help here.

Posted: **Wed 06 Jun 2007, 17:20**

That could very well be a case of the wrong version of Flac for the program. The api has changed significantly over the last several releases.

Nathan

Posted: **Wed 06 Jun 2007, 23:21**

ah ok...Hmm...gotta figure out which version of FLAc I need o use with Hydrogen.

Posted: **Thu 07 Jun 2007, 00:20**

Got it working (and using one of your Flac files from your Grafpup repository too...haha). Thanks, Nathan.
