Setup issues

[malparty]

Hi, I just moved to Linux so I'm still not fluent with compilation ~ I'm running on Pop OS (generally quite working with Debian builds).

I've try to follow the installation instructions, but these did not install jackd2. So I manualy run sudo apt install jackd2.

This was 1 step forward, as I got in the step where I can select yes for the real time priority. Let me know if I can submit a small PR to add this in the readme :)

But now I'm stuck at the ./configure part~

Here is the cmd response:

╰─❯ ./configure                                                                                                                                                                      ─╯

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables JACK_CFLAGS
and JACK_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Do you have an idea on how I could make it work? :)

Thanks !! :)

A fresh Pop!_OS installation worked for me but I had to install libtool. I'll document this.

Also, the error you're getting here is caused by the absence of this package too.

LT_INIT: command not found

Could you install this and try again?

Thanks a lot for your answer :) This indeed helped me moving 1 step further.

After installing libtool, no more initial error, but still No package 'jack' found error. As 'apt' could not find jack, I did use brew install jack. --> The ./configure step seems all good now.

Then moving to the make. No package 'libusb-1.0' found --> Same, did not work with apt/apt-get, so I used brew.

Now overwitch is well installed ;-) Thanks a lot

I'll try it later this week~
