(I mentioned "dependencies" earlier, and this illustrates that the liblo development files are a dependency of Carla if you need OSC support.) This meant the system could not find the liblo library development files, which I then had to install. So, for instance, on my system OSC Support: NO showed up along with the message liblo missing

It is not necessary for everything to say "YES", and I'll have to leave it up to you to investigate what else you might need to install before going any further. (If you do a directory listing there ( ls) you'll see a file called INSTALL.md, which basically tells you everything I'm going to tell you) Once the file is downloaded, you'll need to unzip it into a directory (folder) and then open a terminal session and change into the directory into which you just unzipped the source-code. This is the Carla source-code, which we're going to compile and install on our system.
#Carla vs vestige lmms download
Go to and click on "Clone or download", and then select "Download ZIP" your browser should then offer you a dialogue to download and save the file. However, I'm pretty sure that most of what you need to get it running in LMMS will already be available on your system, even if it doesn't have all the "bells & whistles". & we'll mention this again briefly later. To have a fully configured Carla installed, you might also first need some other packages installed in your system (if it hasn't already got them). As I say, I can't cover them all.Ī simple bit of googling for "install development files " for your distro will probably find what you need.īefore moving on, follow any instructions for testing that you've got what you need working ok.
#Carla vs vestige lmms how to
You'll need a development and compilation environment set up, and you'll have to refer to guidance elsewhere for how to do this (sorry).įor instance, in Ubuntu you'll at the very least have to run a terminal command something likeĭifferent distros will require different things. The first thing to say is I am using 64-bit LMMS 1.2.1 as an AppImage, which I got from lmms.io/download.

You'll probably also need to know how to execute commands as root (administrator) using "su" or "sudo". This isn't difficult and doesn't require specialised expertise, but you'll need to be OK with working in a terminal session, and with downloading and installing packages. For anyone else struggling, they might work for you too. This method worked for me on my computer. These are not comprehensive installation notes, as I can't cover all the variations of Linux distros let alone the huge variation in skills and experience of people using them. One or two said that it worked OK, more said it was a problem, and nothing seemed very recent.įirst I tried downloading the prebuilt binaries from kxstudio, but it didn't work and there's no support documentation that I could find, so I gave that up.īut - with a bit of effort - I got LMMS to recognise an installed Carla system by compiling and installing Carla for myself, so I thought I'd drop a note in about it. I've been trying to get Carla & LMMS working together on Linux, and read a few threads here on the forum.
