vmpk
ubuntu 8.04 with alsa installed
cmake dosent see it.
says Cmake error alsa>=1 not found
Maybe you need to install the -devel version of the alsa library package.
Two suggestions: there is a help forum at the VMPK's sourceforge site (vmpk.sf.net) and finally: if you prefer to install a binary package for ubuntu, instead of compiling the sources, please file a bug in Ubuntu or Debian requesting it.
adapting VMPK...
just joined ohloh, specifically to contact you about VMPK. I am using VMPK in Ubuntu, works very well, as along as they're aren't to many instances running at the same time.(which is fine). it's all i need! :) but i am currently trying to set my system up slightly unusual. i am setting up multiseatX in a single-seat.
a link in case: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX
for the purpose of taking usb keyboards and having them run parallel. my idea is that i can assign multiple keyboards to control and handle midi, as an interface(s). this way i can have one setup up as a transport, another say as controller for a sampler, maybe a synth...and i could aggregate these devices..
and/or jack the USB out the the keyboard and build my own interface...and use VMPK for assigning the keys/pedals to midi...
now, my question is: your software allows me to grab
the keyboard. how is this accomplished??? running multiple qwerty keyboards is/could there be a way for VMPK to grab
a specific keyboard....?????
maybe i could compile a few seperate VMPK's as a work around. one for each keyboard??!?
anyways, i would really appreciate any insights that you may have, although i am not a programmer, i handle myself well, and could probably modify the existing sources, if i knew where to look, or if this idea would even work....
thanks again PLC!! drop me a line here, or thru email. great software by the way!!
To grab the keyboard, VMPK uses the Qt4 function QWidget::grabKeyboard()
which in turn is implemented in X11 by calling XGrabKeyboard.
You can choose the X server display #5, with this command line:
$ vmpk -display :5
I've not tried a multi-seat setup. Sorry. No idea if it would work.
#VMPK users!
There is a VMPK help forum at the SourceForge project page, where you can ask for help and post comments.
We are a bit off-topic here at this forum. Sorry. BTW: kudos to Ohloh for this service, and welcome to the SourceForge community!
