[Fluxus] Notes on how to install Fluxus on Ubuntu

[Alex Norman]

installing the packages can be done in one step (step 2): [makes the
instructions seem less daunting I think]

----

* Replace this step with what is right for your video card *
1) Installed package "xserver-xorg-video-intel" to give correct screen resolution (doing this replaces one of the default packages)

NOTE: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace restarts X-windows

2) sudo apt-get install jackd libode0-dev scons libglew-dev fftw3-dev libsndfile1-dev liblo-dev libxext-dev libxt-dev libxaw7-dev libjpeg62-dev libtiff4-dev libfreetype6-dev libpng12-dev libjack-dev freeglut3-dev libglut3-dev qjackctl

3) Download PLT scheme from http://www.pawfal.org/Software/fluxus/files/plt-369.10-src-unix.tgz

4) Unpack and cd in to "src" in unpacked archive

5) ./configure --enable-shared --prefix=/usr/local

6) make

7) sudo make install

8) Download and unpack fluxus

9) cd to fluxus dir

10) scons

11) sudo scons install

12) Update library path. NOTE: This is a funny on BSD and Ubuntu - they don't treat /usr/local/lib as a standard library path. Choose a better editor than "vi" if you don't already know how to use it.
cd /etc
sudo vi ld.so.conf
insert line "/usr/local/lib"

13) sudo ldconfig

14) create $home/.fluxus.scm containing
 (start-audio "" 1024 44100)

15) Run fluxus "fluxus"

fluxus -p ~/Desktop/secret-one.keys

These are my notes on the steps I followed if you want to try (or make this info available to others). Most of the dependencies are in the Ubuntu Package Manager which makes it relatively pain free.

It creates a virtual hard-disk with an Ubuntu installation as a file on your Windows volume and uses the Windows boot menu to choose the OS at startup. No repartitioning and no changes to your MBR required!
