[PlanetCCRMA] Whysynth and Smack compile problems

[Nigel Henry]

Hi. I know it's a bit of a cheek posting this question here, but thought also 
that Fernando might consider (when he's got time) to add Whysynth, a DSSI 
plugin, and Smack, a drum machine, which has a couple of deps "om" and 
"omins" to the audio software list. The problem I'm having with Whysynth is 
with ./configure. It's complaining that it can't find liblo.pc in 
pkgconfig,which is because it ain't there. I put DSSI, hexter, xsynth-dssi, 
fluidsynth-dssi, and dssi-devel, on both FC2 and FC3 . All packages from 
planetccrma installed with apt-get. liblo is on the machine, as it came as a 
dep for Rosegarden, and is showing as /usr/lib/liblo.so.0, which is a 
softlink to liblo.so.0.4.0, which is also there. /usr/lib/pkgconfig does have 
dssi.pc, and all the plugins work ok. fluidsynth-dssi doesn't seem to have an 
option for putting it on the desktop, but hexter and xsynth-dssi can be 
copied to the destop from /usr/share , and work ok from there. Has anybody 
installed the Whysynth source package, and got it to work? If so. whats the 
workaround for the missing liblo.pc? Nigel.
