======Installing the latest stable version of Rosegarden from svn source======

These instructions should show howto install development version Rosegarden Trunk to a freshly installed distribution.

=====1. Kubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope)=====

Install first subversion.
<code>
sudo apt-get install subversion
</code>
Download (takes 122 Mb of disk space) the source of the latest development version of rosegarden) using subversion.
<code>
svn checkout https://rosegarden.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rosegarden/trunk/rosegarden rosegarden
</code>
or if you have a sourceforge account, checkout with
<code>
svn checkout https://<username>@rosegarden.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rosegarden/trunk/rosegarden rosegarden
</code>

First, install dependencies 
<code>
sudo apt-get install autoconf g++ libqt4-dev ladspa-sdk liblircclient-dev libjack0.100.0-dev jackd libasound2-dev xutils-dev 
</code>
Note: while building on Karmic Koala the following dependencies were missing:
<code>
sudo apt-get install dssi-dev liblo0-dev liblrdf0-dev libfftw3-dev libsndfile1-dev libsamplerate0-dev
</code>

After installing the dependencies, generate (again) the configure script, run it and compile the source
<code>
sh ./bootstrap.sh
./configure
make
</code>

Before running Rosegarden, install couple of necessary packages
<code>
sudo apt-get install flac qjackctl sox
</code>
Install LilyPond either with
<code>
sudo apt-get install lilypond
</code>
or, if you do **not** want to install TeX (extra ~150 Mb) which is not necessary, download stable (2.12.*) LilyPond installing binary. Find out what is the latest stable LilyPond version with command
<code>
wget http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond/binaries/linux-x86/ -O -
</code>
Download then the latest version and install it
<code>
wget http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond/binaries/linux-x86/lilypond-2.12.2-1.linux-x86.sh
sudo sh ./lilypond-2.12.2-1.linux-x86.sh
</code>

You probably want software synthesis, install thus e.g. timidity and freepats
<code>
sudo apt-get install timidity freepats
</code>

Now we are ready to run Rosegarden!

Start Rosegarden...
