Install WineAsio 0.9.0 on Ubuntu 11.04 (deb file included)

If you really need VST or any ASIO related application on linux the solution i simple:

WineAsio

“WineASIO provides an ASIO to JACK driver for WINE. ASIO is the most common Windows low-latency driver, so is commonly used in audio workstation programs.”

I created a little guide to install via deb file.

Install Wine and Jack:

sudo apt-get install wine jackd qjackctl

Install WineAsio

A) deb file:

Download  and install this package

wget http://www.lucamazzilli.it/downloads/wineasio_0.9.0-1_i386.deb

sudo dpkg -i wineasio_0.9.0-1_i386.deb

B) from source:

Install dependencies

- if you are using jack 1

sudo apt-get install libjack-dev

- if you are using jack2

sudo apt-get install libjack-jackd2-dev

Download and extract

wget http://leaseweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/wineasio/wineasio-0.9.0.tar.gz

tar -zxvf wineasio-*

cd wineasio

search google for asio.h (file:asio.h) than copy to your source folder and:

make

sudo make install

if you get an error like this:

luca@pc:~/wineasio$ sudo make install
if [ -d /usr/lib32/wine ]; then cp wineasio.dll.so /usr/lib32/wine; else cp wineasio.dll.so /usr/lib/wine; fi

just copy wineasio.dll.so on the correct folder in old fashioned way:

- 64bit

sudo cp wineasio.dll.so /usr/lib32/wine

- 32bit

sudo cp wineasio.dll.so /usr/lib/wine

register wine library

regsvr32 wineasio.dll

Configure Wine to use alsa and jack

winecfg

select audio tab, than pick Jack Driver and Alsa Driver

Install some cool stuff like EnergyXT or Reaper.
