Get Dependencies

In order to successfully build Rosegarden, there are a number of programs and libraries you'll need.

.deb Based Distros

If you are using a distro with apt (Ubuntu, Debian…), you can try getting the build-dep's for Rosegarden.

For build-dep's to work, you'll need to add the appropriate source repo URIs to your sources.list. The easiest way is to use synaptic.

  1. Launch synaptic. Install it if you need to.
  2. Go to Settings > Repositories
  3. Click the Source Code checkbox. It will display a dash.
  4. Close.

Or, if you don't want to install synaptic, you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list directly. Look for deb-src lines that are commented out and uncomment them. Then do a “sudo apt update”.

At this point the instructions are slightly different for jack1 vs. jack2.

If you are using jack2 (v1.9.x and up):

$ sudo apt-get install libjack-jackd2-dev
$ sudo apt-get build-dep rosegarden

If you are using jack1, this should work:

$ sudo apt-get build-dep rosegarden

…and you should be ready to build.

Other Distros

Nothing yet. Feel free to write something up and send it to us.
