hi,
no troubleshooting is needed, I need help in installing lmms-1.1.3 from source. I downloaded lmms.tar.gz from lmms github gave it a try (or two or more) yet it was crashing at "make' command.
I reported it as issue at the abovementioned github lmms they admitted there was 'a general error' but I am not a developer to solve general or otherwise errors.
What to do in this situation?
(Once again I can't use anything but source.)

can you link to the thread in question?
I know that the packs here
https://lmms.io/download/#linux
should work - ?- or..?

@MusikBear what part of "(Once again I can't use anything but source.)" from the OP did you not understand? He can't use PPA's since he probably is not on a suitable linux distro.

@seog: please follow our official build tutorial: https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/wiki/Compiling-lmms. You can't simply run 'make' to compile LMMS, you need to have cmake configure your build first. The instructions are pretty straight-forward, but if you have any problems, let me know

thank you for answering,

@umcaruje your guess is right, I can't use dpkg (and, consequently, neither apt-get nor aptitude).
I followed instructions from https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/wiki/Compiling-lmms (and installed all required dependencies ) and before 'make' I certainly used 'cmake' but crashing occurred at the 'make' stage of installation - at 45% (carla plugin) and when I turned it off in the Makelist file (after advise from a member of the github lmms developer team) it crashed at 99% .

seog: can you please paste your terminal output for that error here? If it's too long use https://gist.github.com/ to host it.

to be precise -everything- :P

hi that seems to point to a FLTK error, do you have libfltk1.3-dev or equivalent installed? Your last resort can also be to disable Zyn in the CMakeLists files, but you don't really want that.

hello umcarje,

right now I installed libfltk1.3-dev (from source) and tried once again to install lmms with the same result - crash at 99% when adding zynaddsubfx.
I looked through the CMakeList but cannot locate where to cancel adding zynaddsubfx.
