    Hi,

    Any chance to get an update of the Polyphone app on Ubuntu Studio 20.04. I can't get it to install. Missing some stuff and when I try to install them, they don't.

    I managed to download the sources and compile the code in Ubuntu Studio 20.04 just some hours ago

    Had to download a number of libs and tweak the polytone.pro file a little bit, but hey, now it runs fine.
    Just don't know how to create a deb package from it to be able to install it the "official" way

    Hi,

    Do you remember what libs you needed? Can you give some info on what you did on polyphone.pro?

    Thanks in adavanced

    I'm really sorry, did not take notes.

    Just did by trial and error. Run into error, install lib, repeat until done. STill did not take too long

    I’m currently working on packaging Polyphone for Debian proper. When successful, I’ll make it also available for *buntu 20.04 LTS.

    My PPA  has a polyphone package for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. It’s a backport (20.04 is ooooooold…) of the one I just uploaded to Debian. It’s the only legal Polyphone binary distribution in existence and currently excludes SF3 support.

    Testing feedback is, of course, welcome.

    I've just compiled Polyphone 2.2.0 from an Ubuntu Studio 20.04 desktop by using this script (https://gist.github.com/elcapo/600e555d2e8d5bd0b5a145c0ae0ab9bd). The compilation took about 10 minutes. I don't have a super powerful computer, so it may be a bit faster for you.

    The script:

    1. installs dependencies,
    2. clones (downloads) the source code,
    3. compiles it.

    You'll see a lot of ugly messages during the compilation. It's normal. When it's done, it generates a polyphone binary in the polyphone/sources/bin folder.

    The benefits of a proper Debian package are many, though. No development libraries cluttering your system, clean installation and uninstallation, better integration into the system, and legal review.

    Is your package vanilla 2.2 or have you incorporated some of the fixes from master?

    I’ve incorporated fixes from master: as 2.2 wouldn’t even build, I packaged a snapshot of master (plus that french guy’s PRs). I’ll update that as more bugfixes arrive.

    Thanks! Your Polyphone package works perfectly here on KDE neon 20.04. Now I don't need to compile it manually anymore
