Where to start? an interesting point is the change of architecture with the replacement of RtMIDI by Drumstick-RT. This also applies to the "-devel" packages from distributions. You can use the same prefix (usually /usr/local/) without conflicts, except only one set of headers (usually the latest) can be available at the same time in your system. If you are compiling drumstick yourself and installing from sources, then you don't need to worry. These suggestions are for people packaging drumstick for Linux distributions. $ objdump -p /usr/local/lib64/libdrumstick-alsa.so.1.0.0 | grep SONAMEįor instance, you may name your old drumstick package as "drumstick0" and the new one "drumstick1", or append the Qt name like in "drumstick-qt4" and "drumstick-qt5", or keep the old one as plain "drumstick" and rename only the new one. $ objdump -p /usr/lib64/libdrumstick-alsa.so.0.5.0 | grep SONAME What is needed is to also rename the packages accordingly. This is possible because the old and new drumstick libraries have a different SONAME. If you want to distribute all kmidimon, kmid2, vmpk and kmetronome latest releases for the same system, you need to distribute also two sets of drumstick runtime libraries. Not a big problem, though, because the runtime libraries are intended to co-exist together on the same system. Meanwhile, Linux distributions may have a problem here shipping the old and new programs together. I'm no longer the kmid2 maintainer, but I will release (time permitting) a "Drumstick Karaoke" application replacing kmid2, and of course also a new kmidimon (naming it as Drumstick-Whatever). There are other applications based on the old drumstick 0.5.0 libraries out there: kmid2 and kmidimon. Based on Drumstick 1.0.0 I've released two more applications: vmpk 0.6.0 and kmetronome 1.0.0 (now renamed as "Drumstick Metronome"). In addition, it contains a new "drumstick-rt" library which is a cross-platform MIDI input-output abstraction. Newest Qt5 based release is 1.0.0, published on August 30 2014.ĭrumstick 1.0.0 is not binary compatible with the older one, nor even fully source compatible. Latest Qt4 based drumstick release was 0.5.0 published in 2010. Current major version of the Qt Frameworks is 5, which are binary incompatible with the older Qt4 libraries. What is all this about?ĭrumstick is the name of a set of Qt based libraries for MIDI processing.
I've released in the past weeks some things labeled "Drumstick" and also labeled "1.0.0".
