Can't compile on Linux

[erwan35]

Hello,

Thanks for your job on the porting of this cool synth !

I'm using Debian Bullseye but i'm not able to compile.

Am I supposed to get some SDK ?

Can you please help ?

Thanks
Erwan

same here... i think that need the vst sdk from Steinberg...Maybe can be disabled the vst2 build and just build vst3 version.

[fractalf]

Yea, same here...
I tried building it according to instructions in a docker container with all deps

FROM ubuntu:22.04
ARG DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
RUN apt update && apt install \
    build-essential \
    g++ \
    libasound2-dev \

    libxrandr-dev \
    libxrender-dev \
    libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev \
    libglu1-mesa-dev mesa-common-dev

After the last command is done, there are errors

...

Searching the terminal for errors I get these

Are we missing something? Can someone confirm that this is buildable?

[BillyDM]

I'm on Arch and I'm getting the same error as above. It seems that for some reason it tries to use juce_VST3_Wrapper (which depends on the VST2 SDK) even though VST2 is disabled in the Projucer project.

[BillyDM]

Aha! Adding JUCE_VST3_CAN_REPLACE_VST2="0" to the JUCEOPTIONS field in VASTvaporizer.jucer fixed it and I'm able to build it now.

[fractalf]

Nice find @BillyDM !
Thanks for updating the repo @KottV !

I still have some problems with this one though..

../../Source/Engine/Filter/../Utils/VASTSynthfunctions.h:1070:25: error: 'arc4random' was not declared in this scope; did you mean 'srandom'?
 1070 |         fNoise = (float)arc4random();

      |                         srandom

I could try an arch distro in the docker container, but all those dependencies would probably not be the same..

https://askubuntu.com/questions/759169/using-arc4random-on-ubuntu-14-04-trusty

Any idea on how to solve it?

Thanks :)

Hi, what is your distro? arc4random was added in glibc-2.36

Also there is no need for ladspa-sdk libcurl4-openssl-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev

[fractalf]

I'm personally using EndeavourOS, but I like to do most of compiling stuff in a docker container so my system stays clean from all sorts of different dependencies.

I will try to make a docker image for building with arch and see if I can find all the right dependencies.

I got those files you mentioned from here:
https://github.com/KottV/Vaporizer2/blob/linux-fixes/JUCE/docs/Linux%20Dependencies.md

[KottV]

@fractalf
build with more recent glibc won't run on a system with an older one
I'll try to fix your issue later, not today.

Same here.. i building on debian 11 that have glibc 2.35. I hope that can be support that version too.
Thanks!

[fractalf]

Probably have to use Debian 12. Will try later tonight
https://sources.debian.org/src/glibc/

[fractalf]

All right!
It now builds..
..but the plugin crashes hard :(

libcurl4-openssl-dev was definetly needed it seems, but like you said the other two didn'tn

17.96 In file included from ../../JuceLibraryCode/include_juce_core.cpp:9:
17.96 ../../../../modules/juce_core/juce_core.cpp:92:13: fatal error: curl/curl.h: No such file or directory

17.96       |             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
17.96 compilation terminated.

This was my final setup that should work on any system:

Dockerfile

RUN ./JUCE/extras/Projucer/Builds/LinuxMakefile/build/Projucer --resave ./VASTvaporizer/VASTvaporizer.jucer
RUN CONFIG=Release make -j8 -C ./VASTvaporizer/Builds/LinuxMakefile/

docker-compose.yml

version: "3.7"
services:
    vaporizer2builder:
        build: .
        image: vaporizer2builder
        container_name: vaporizer2builder
        tty: true

Then run it like this

$ docker compose up -d --build
$ docker cp vaporizer2builder:/build/Vaporizer2/VASTvaporizer/Builds/LinuxMakefile/build/VASTvaporizer2.vst3 ~/.vst3

Unfortunately after all this, it doesn't run stable. Can barely hear some sound from it before it crashes hard..

Did any of you get a proper working build?

[fractalf]

Ok, so I started digging some more..
I thought I might build in an arch linux environment

Here's the Dockerfile that worked:

FROM archlinux:base-20231001.0.182270

RUN pacman -Sy
RUN pacman -S --noconfirm \
    git \
    base-devel \
    freetype2 \
    libx11 \
    libxrandr \
    libxinerama \
    libxcursor \
    alsa-utils \
    jack2 \
    liblsp-r3d-glx-lib
RUN git clone -b linux-fixes https://github.com/KottV/Vaporizer2
WORKDIR /Vaporizer2
RUN CONFIG=Release make -j8 -C ./JUCE/extras/Projucer/Builds/LinuxMakefile/
RUN ./JUCE/extras/Projucer/Builds/LinuxMakefile/build/Projucer --resave ./VASTvaporizer/VASTvaporizer.jucer
RUN CONFIG=Release make -j8 -C ./VASTvaporizer/Builds/LinuxMakefile/

The compiled plugin size differ for each build

..and event though the arch build also crashes, it seems to run slightly better.

However the UI doesn't work at all so I'm guessing there's where the problem is..

While compiling there's a whole lot of warnings, but no errors (I searched the output)

I've pretty much reached the end of the tunnel now, hopefully someone else could chip in?

[fractalf]

I did one last try on this... went through all the dependencies found here for ubuntu/debian and tried to find the arch equivalent..

https://github.com/juce-framework/JUCE/blob/master/docs/Linux%20Dependencies.md

FROM archlinux:base-20231001.0.182270
RUN pacman -Sy
RUN pacman -S --noconfirm \
    git \
    base-devel \
    freetype2 \
    libx11 \
    libxrandr \
    libxinerama \
    libxcursor \
    alsa-utils \
    jack2 \
    liblsp-r3d-glx-lib \
    libxcomposite \
    webkit2gtk-4.1 \
    glu \
    lsp-plugins \
    ladspa \
    mesa-utils
RUN git clone -b linux-fixes https://github.com/KottV/Vaporizer2
WORKDIR /Vaporizer2
RUN CONFIG=Release make -j8 -C ./JUCE/extras/Projucer/Builds/LinuxMakefile/
RUN ./JUCE/extras/Projucer/Builds/LinuxMakefile/build/Projucer --resave ./VASTvaporizer/VASTvaporizer.jucer
RUN CONFIG=Release make -j8 -C ./VASTvaporizer/Builds/LinuxMakefile/

Still UI glitches/problems/crash.
And that's pretty much where I throw in the towel.
At least for tonight ;)
