build problems on Fedora

[m.tarenskeen]

I am on Linux Fedora 21, downloaded the latest Git snapshot as a zipfile, and unpacked the zip. after that:

cd ~/Downloads/ctrlr-master/Builds/Generated/Linux/Standalone
make

gives me this:

Compiling CtrlrUtilitiesGUI.cpp
In file included from ../../../../Source/Lua/CtrlrLuaManager.h:8:0,
from ../../../../Source/Lua/JuceClasses/LMemoryBlock.h:4,

make: *** [build/intermediate/Debug/CtrlrUtilitiesGUI_4d233a31.o] Error 1

What am I missing? I can’t find CtrlrRevision.h anywhere in the sourcecode zipfile that I downloaded.

This file is generated by the post-commit script in the Scripts directory, just run it once, you can CTRL+C the build process later on, but the file will be generated, or you can let it finish it should build both VST and Standalone Release versions.

Thanks. Built succesfully!

Now I will have to learn how to use this thing and how to design my own panels …

I am glad to have succesfully compiled Ctrlr on Fedora 21 with your help.
But I still feel it should be easier to do. I would like to see a one-does-it-all Makefile or buildscript. Now I had to manually unzip a file in one place, run one one script in another place, then another script in again another place, and then had to search in all those subdirectories where the standalone and VST plugin had gone.

And when I tried to compile on my older 32bits Linux Laptop I ran into a linking problem with some 64bits *.a libraries. I had to manually replace the files with 32bit versions. After that compilation and linking succceeded.

Another strange thing: my Ctrlr has no version number when I open the Help_.About dialog. I see “Version = .0”

How to build Ctrlr version 6.x.y on Linux myself?
The old build instruction don’t seem to work anymore?

Latest available Linux binary (6.0.1) crashes. (Using Fedora 29 here)

error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.28-system.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have seen that there is version 5.3.201 available for Linux (same stable version as for Windows I suppose).
I’d like to install on a Virtual Box VM.
Do you have any experience on that and can you recommend me a Linux version (image to download)?
Thx in advance!

Also Ctrlr-5.4.16 is available for Linux and working.

I use Linux Fedora. Ubuntu is a very popular distro too and slightly more user-friendly some people say. The nice thing about Linux is that it is free, so nothing is stopping you from downloading images from different distros, try them inside Virtual Box, and see which one you like best.

The only working and stable version for linux for me is : Ctrlr-x86_64-5.3.201.sh.

I have installed Ubuntu Studio.
Ctrlr 5.3.201 works fine on it BUT it is crashing when I create a restricted instance.
Is it working for you?
If not, I’ll try some earlier versions…
Thx!

[m.tarenskeen]

I think exporting (restricted) instances are a Windows thing, not working on Linux?

[goodweather]

It works also on MacOs so my understanding was that it would work on all OS.
I have now tried 5.3.199 and it is also not working.
Will further try other versions and let you know 😉

[m.tarenskeen]

I’m using both 5.3.201 and 5.4.16 on Linux Fedora succesfully.

I want panels that I create myself to run on both. Some LUA code that I use on 5.3.201 will not work on 5.4.16. Then I try to find a workaround that works for both. If 5.4.16 is crashing on your system it’s most likely having a problem with the panel you are using.

Ctrlr 6.x is not running for me on Linux (yet)

[goodweather]

OK but can you create a restricted instance with those versions on Fedora?
Yep, I had the same issue on Windows but didn’t take the time yet to check what are the differences between 5.3.201 and 5.4.16 in terms of Lua code.
So only using 5.3.201 on Win and 5.3.198 on Mac.
