Requirements for Reaper DAW

US flag
user1654982

I want to install Reaper on Ubuntu 22.10. The requirements for linux are as follows:

  • libc6, libstdc++ for gcc 4.x or later
  • libgdk-3 (you can also target headless or libgdk-2 if you build your own libSwell from WDL)
  • ALSA

I want to know if Ubuntu 22.10 already comes with these packages installed or not. If not, how do I install them?

Thanks!

By default, Ubuntu versions do not come with the compiler tools installed for C and C++ and such. That's because it's not a small request to get all the build libraries installed - it takes up a not insignificant portion of space on disk.


To get the GCC and standard libs, that's a single task - in command line run:

sudo apt install build-essential

This installs GCC, G++, all the standard C libs, etc.


GDK is actually part of the GTK libraries - it's a low level library but it's part of the GTK libraries. You install libgdk with this:

sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev

Now, ALSA may be harder to get working. I'm not 100% fluent in the ALSA libraries, but in theory running sudo apt install libasound2-dev should get you the ALSA libraries you need.


Once you're done, follow whatever README instructions exist for compiling the software you want to compile.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
