This page describes my Pike setup with ubuntu 10.2. Needed to run my more recent software.

  • on a fresh install, download libs but i cannot remember all of them right now. 
sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev nettle-dev libffi-dev libgnomeui-dev
sudo apt-get install glade-gnome freeglut3-dev libfuse-dev libbz2-dev libglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev
  • Go to the install dir and remove the previous version 
sudo rm -fr /usr/local/pike7.8.whatever
  • Download Pike from this site. Do use the stable version for now, because otherwise GTK2 does not find the FileChooserDialog object.
  • unpack and go to source directory
  • type 
rm -fr bundles
make
sudo make install

Add Midi support

To compile portmidi we need the ccmake system. But that won't work with openjdk, which is now a standard in ubuntu. First we'd have to change to sun's jdk. So do: 

add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
apt-get update
apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
update-alternatives --config java
apt-get install cmake cmake-curses-gui 
ccmake .
make
make install

On a 64 bit system, it is also needed to correct the path to libjvm.so in pm_common/CMakeLists.txt

  • deleting old module files and adding some modules from pikemonger. Here the file /usr/local/pike/7.8.352/include/pike/precompile.pike does a wrong redirection, add ../ before the path. 
sudo rm -fr /home/yvan/.monger/*
sudo pike -x monger --install Public.Parser.JSON2
  • download the Midi module from [modules.gotpike.org] and compile/install with: 
pike -x module
pike -x module install


[edit]

Pike as a library

I didn't have much success using this yet... 

make distclean
export CFLAGS=-fPIC 
make libpike
sudo cp build/linux-x-x/libpike.so /lib
sudo ldconfig -n /lib
