how to instal Jamin under OSX

Thanks Willy2406 I tryed it it seem to work .

Installed like a charme - but I can’t see any text - i just see blocks- otherwise it seems to work.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong ?

BTW I’m using OSX 10.3

I am having the same prob as gastric, I am running 10.4

It works well on my macbook on 10.4

What does a
/Applications/Path_to_Jamin/Jamin.app/Contents/MacOS/Jamin
into the terminal ?

this is the output of the program starting: (I’ve cut the errors on the end - looks like every element is showing the same warning when rendered)

gastric_bass, you don’t have pango (one of the dependencies for JAMin) installed.

I’ve already installed the following pango packages with fink (after the installation and experiencing the problems):
pango1 1.2.1-25
pango1-dev 1.2.1-25
pango1-shlibs 1.2.1-25
pango1-xft2 1.6.1-1
pango1-xft2-dev 1.6.1-1
pango1-xft2-shlibs 1.6.1-1

But that didn’t help either - any ideas ?

Problem solved (maybe)

Here’s a speculation from somebody who doesn’t really know what he’s doing:

The Jamin build that we downloaded from the Ardour site requires (non-native) Ardour!

I recently switched to the native Ardour (via IRC channel) and noticed that my old Jamin install had the font boxes. I rebuit my font cache and then looked through my logs. There were tons of references to missing pango parts from within the Ardour folder. So I just re-downloaded the current X11 Ardour (2.1 at this time) and put it in the apps folder. Now Jamin is back!!

I hope this helps others.

yeah, that works for anybody who’s reading this

zlp, What exactly is your solution? I have three versions of Ardour installed (2.4.1 X11 and native, 2.5a native) and JaMin does not work, even after running the X11 version.

I removed the post
-johan

I just can’t get Jamin to run properly. When I start x11 first and then run the Jamin binary (from the download link above) it starts fine, but all fonts are those blocks (rectagles).

I am runing Ardour 2.8 native and Jamin 0.95.08

When ist start Jamin from the Terminal ( /Applications/Jamin.app/Contents/MacOS/Jamin ) i get this output:

I installed pango throught MacPorts and ran pango-querymodules, but it didn’t change anything.

What am I doing wrong? How can I get Jamin to run on my Mac?

The problem is that the package linked to above requires the X11 version of Ardour, which no longer exists.

I have already begun working on a port of it to Native Quartz using GTKOSX, and actually already have it working fine, but the GUI does not respond very well at all if it is already processing audio(About a 5 second latency IIRC). I haven’t figured out what exactly is causing this yet, but if there is interest I will post up a link to what I ahve so far.

Thanks for the reply.
Would be nice if you could post a link.

http://misc.leviathan-avc.com/jamin/Jamin.app.zip

I make no promises on it at this point, if you have comments feel free to email me, but I have had to backburner this for a bit to work on things i get paid for;) If you happen to know of a way to improve GUI responsiveness though, let me know and that will likely get implemented ASAP. At t hat point get a hold of me via email is probably best.

   Seablade

thanks seablade

Seablade, your a lifesaver!

Just a small note…

I recently reformatted my HD(Don’t worry I am pretty certain I backed up my patches for Jamin), and reran the version of Jamin I posted above. Works as good and bad as I remembered, but I did notice that it still looks for installed LADSPA plugins, so make sure you install those. I have on my list of things to fix to add those particular plugins into the bundle itself so they aren’t needed to be installed seperately, but for the package above, make sure you install them for the time being. I am going to try to get back to Jamin next month if I can. I don’t think that I will have time before then sadly.

   Seablade

Your welcome. I am still going to try to get back to it sometime, but it probably won’t happen till next month. I get REALLY busy this time of year.

    Seablade

Same here. Why is it that companies want all their biggest development projects done in August?? :wink:
