VST

Install libraries for VST support

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gcc-multilib g++-multilib libqt5x11extras5-dev \
libxcb-util0-dev libxcb-keysyms1-dev

sudo apt install wine-stable libwine-dev libwine-dev:i386 # for Ubuntu >= 17.10
sudo apt install wine-dev # for Ubuntu <= 17.04

# note: It is also possible to use wine-(stable, devel, or staging)
# and corresponding development package from WineHQ repository
# note: When building on Ubuntu >= 17.10, make sure either wine64-tools or wine32-tools is installed

# keywords: winegcc: g++ failed
# keywords: fatal error: bits/c++config.h: No such file or directory
# keywords: winegcc: File does not exist: /usr/lib/i386/wine/libwinecrt0.a

Carla

Install libraries for Carla support:

# Update software sources
sudo apt-get update

# Install required dependencies if needed
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https gpgv wget

# Download kxstudio package file
wget https://launchpad.net/~kxstudio-debian/+archive/kxstudio/+files/kxstudio-repos_11.1.0_all.deb

# Install it
sudo dpkg -i kxstudio-repos_11.1.0_all.deb
sudo apt install -y carla

Don't forget to install libraries for VST support here and Carla support here

...done installing? Next, clone the source code

Troubleshooting

Unmet dependencies

Sometimes apt will not allow all packages to be installed simultaneously. (e.g. foo : Depends: bar (=1.0.0) but it is not going to be installed). Install them or resolve dependencies individually.

sudo apt install libfluidsynth-dev
sudo apt install libjack-jackd2-dev

# keywords: The following packages have unmet dependencies
# keywords: Unknown command PKG_GET_VARIABLE
# note: libsdl-dev might need a version number when installing dependencies. Example: libsdl1.2-dev

This can also happen if you already have Jack1 installed on your system, and you're trying to install Jack2 development files. You should try installing Jack1 dev files instead:

sudo apt install libjack-dev

# keywords: The following packages have unmet dependencies

Both Jack1 and Jack2 work fine with LMMS, for differences between the two please consult the Jackaudio wiki.

qmake

If qmake --version shows an error:

sudo apt install qt5-default

# keywords: qmake: could not find a Qt installation of ''

ia32-libs

Older environments may complain that ia32-libs package has been removed. See this page for more information.

sudo apt install wine32

# keywords: ia32-libs package has been removed

Using `build-dep`

If you are unable to build LMMS after following the steps above, you may want to try apt-get's build-dep command.

This command will install required dependencies for a package.

For Ubuntu:

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list, and uncomment any deb-src entries.
sudo apt update
sudo apt build-dep lmms

For Linux Mint:

Open "Software Sources".
Flip the "Source code repositories" switch in the Official Repositories tab.
Update the apt cache when prompted.
Run sudo apt build-dep lmms.

Remember to comment out deb-src entries in /etc/apt/sources.list when you are finished, or all subsequent apt update commands will take twice as long
