Installing Eclipse Galileo 3.5 on 64 Studio aka Ubuntu Hardy

The eclipse package that is in the repo for 64 studio is the old 3.2 from Ubuntu Hardy.  Let's get the newer Galileo Eclipse installed. Start by opening a terminal and installing the needed Sun Java packages.

brian@64studio:~$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts

Download the latest package of your desired variety from http://eclipse.org/downloads/.

brian@64studio:~$ tar xvfz eclipse-jee-galileo-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz

Your version may differ here.

brian@64studio:~$ sudo mv eclipse /opt/
brian@64studio:~$ sudo chown -R root:root eclipse
brian@64studio:~$ sudo chmod -R +r eclipse
brian@64studio:~$ sudo chmod +x `sudo find eclipse -type d`

brian@64studio:~$ sudo touch /usr/bin/eclipse
brian@64studio:~$ sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/eclipse
brian@64studio:~$ gksudo gedit /usr/bin/eclipse

Paste the following into the file:

#!/bin/sh
#export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="/usr/lib/mozilla/"
export ECLIPSE_HOME="/opt/eclipse"

$ECLIPSE_HOME/eclipse $*


brian@64studio:~$ gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop

Paste the following into the file:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Eclipse
Comment=Eclipse IDE
Exec=eclipse
Icon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpm
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=GNOME;Application;Development;
StartupNotify=true

Depending on your Java situation, you may have to tell it what version to use:

Installing ArdourXchange on OS X for Ardour / Harrison Mixbus

I will go through the steps to install ArdourXchange on OS X to be used with Ardour(http://ardour.org/) or Harrison Mixbus(http://mixbus.harrisonconsoles.com/).

First, we need to get Wine(http://www.winehq.org/) installed.  MacPorts is an easy and safe way to build and install Wine on OS X. Follow the instructions here(http://www.macports.org/install.php) to install MacPorts. Note, you will be required to install Apple's Developer Tools from your OS X DVD or download it from ADC(http://developer.apple.com/) if its not installed already. Once MacPorts is installed, open a terminal and enter the command below.

$ sudo port install wine

This will run for a bit, and usually starts the big fan on my MacBook while its building. You should see an output like below if all goes well.
---> Computing dependencies for wine
---> Fetching wine
---> Verifying checksum(s) for wine
---> Extracting wine
---> Applying patches to wine
---> Configuring wine
---> Building wine
---> Staging wine into destroot
---> Installing wine @1.0.1_3
---> Activating wine @1.0.1_3
---> Cleaning wine

To test try getting the version(yours may differ).

$ wine --version
wine-1.0.1

Now run the ArdourXchange setup.exe, note your path to the EXE may differ:

$ wine Downloads/setup.exe

Once the setup has finished, start up Mixbus and AAF files will show up in the open session dialog. Opening them will start the ArdourXchange(http://www.avtoolkit.co.uk/) conversion.
