Re: [Jack-Devel] Using Jack

Thank you. I made it that far indeed, the conclusion is that I'll need to
add the HOME environment variable or add a relative path to my app. So far,
jack_client_open doesn't want to start a server if qjackctl is not present.
The install path C:/Program Files/Jack/jackd.exe is hardcoded also.

#define JACK_LOCATION "C:/Program Files/Jack"

Which is out of synch with the installer who uses C:/Program Files (x86)/.

I'll keep digging.

Where is $Home? 

 

on windows? no idea.

 

This is a perennial problem for Windows users.  I

 

Well, except that it isn't, at least certainly not in this case. I was using
handwaving terminology and made a reference towards reading the code. So i
went and read the code:

------------------------
  snprintf(filename, 255, "%s/.jackdrc", getenv("HOME"));
        fp = fopen(filename, "r");

        if (!fp) {
            fp = fopen("/etc/jackdrc", "r");
        }
        // if still not found, check old config name for backwards
compatability
        if (!fp) {
            fp = fopen("/etc/jackd.conf", "r");
        }
--------------------------------

that  is the definitive answer to the location of this file, even if the
answer makes no sense in a windows context.
