Hi,
Sorry - this one is long and difficult. Thanks in advance for any ideas...
I do audio work under Linux using a number of programs called
'VST's' that normally run under Windows. To use them in a low-latency
environment Jack environment with programs like Rosegarden and Ardour
requires that I use a program called 'jack_fst' which wraps around
Windows VST dlls. For the last few weeks I've had this working, and
actually working quite well. Unfortunately, sometime between last
Thursday (10/7) and Tuesday (10/12) it totally broke. I'm looking for
the reason why.
On my system the working jack_fst used:
wine-20040505
fst-1.6
jack_fst-1.2
jack-0.99
All of these were built at least 2-3 weeks ago and all except Jack
are built outside of portage. Nothing about them had changed when
things broke as of Monday or Tuesday this week. As of yesterday I had
not rebuilt them, so it appears to me that something else must be the
culprit. To get to the bottom of it I've extracted all of the emerges
done over the last couple of weeks and have pasted them in at the
bottom of this mail.
I had a few problems with xorg-6.8 so I've backed that out and gone
back to 6.7 but this didn't fix things. At this point I'm not all that
sure what to do. Is this the sort of thing that could be caused by
updates done to glib and/or glibc? I've looked a bit at their home
pages but I'm a user type and really don't know exactly who they play
into things. Are they compiled with the app, or are they precompiled
and called when the app runs? If it's the latter then it seems that
those updates could have possibly caused this problem.
Would it be wise to try going back the versions of glib and glibc?
Looking at the list, does anyone see any other likely problem areas
that might have caused this to happen?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read through this.
Cheers,
Mark
