These instructions should show how to install stable Rosegarden 1.7 to a freshly installed distribution.
Install first subversion.
sudo apt-get install subversion
Download the source of the latest stable version of rosegarden using subversion.
svn checkout https://rosegarden.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rosegarden/branches/stable_1_7
Install the packages needed in building.
sudo apt-get install cmake g++ kdebase-dev fftw3-dev gettext libjack0.100.0-dev \ dssi-dev ladspa-sdk liblo0-dev liblrdf0-dev
Now we are ready to build. Let us proceed to the build phase.
cd stable_1_7 cmake . make
After the build phase has finished, install Rosegarden.
sudo make install
Now Rosegarden has been installed!
Before running Rosegarden, let us install needed packages.
sudo apt-get install libxml-twig-perl flac qjackctl sox
Install LilyPond either with
sudo apt-get install lilypond
or, if you do not want to install TeX (extra ~150 Mb) which is not necessary, download stable (2.10.* or 2.12.*) LilyPond installing binary from http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond/binaries/linux-x86/. Currently, the latest stable version 2.10.33 (Oct 16, 2007), you may install LilyPond with
wget http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond/binaries/linux-x86/lilypond-2.10.33-1.linux-x86.sh sudo sh ./lilypond-2.10.33-1.linux-x86.sh
If you need software synthesis, install timidity and freepats.
sudo apt-get install timidity freepats
Now we are ready to run Rosegarden!
Start Rosegarden…
rosegarden
…and click ok in warnings. Change settings a bit and select
Setup->Configure Rosegarden...->Audio->JACK Startup->Start JACK when Rosegarden starts [X] Setup->Configure Rosegarden...->Save Configuration
Then quit rosegarden, so that JACK is started during startup, and rerun rosegarden
rosegarden
Voilá !
