SOLVED Can't build on Fedora 19 x86_64

[davephillips]

Greetings,

I’m testing native Linux VST plugins with Bitwig Studio. Unfortunately the Ctrlr binary fails to load, it complains about a missing zlib symbol. The standalone binary also fails to run, due to a missing version of libbfd. So I’m down to compiling it locally.

Unfortunately I’m having a nightmare of a time building it. I’m uncomfortable with Introjucer, I don’t really know how to use it, and I could surely use some very specific help. I run Introjucer on the Juce project file, it generates the Makefile, yet the include paths are completely screwed up. I assume I missed making some settings, which is why I need some specific assistance. If anyone else has successfully built Ctrlr on Fedora 19 (x86_64) can you give me some advice on how you did it ?

It all makes an old Linux hand get downright nostalgic about autotools. 🙂

Best,

Dave Phillips

Reply to self:

I’m able to almost build the binary here with the crtrl-aio.sh script. Alas, it fails at the final link stage with this error:

Linking Ctrlr_Standalone
build/intermediate/Release/CtrlrLuaUtils_293d10aa.o: file not recognized: File truncated
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [../../../../Bin/Ctrlr] Error 1

When I check the file I find the following information :

-rw-rw-r–. 1 dlphilp dlphilp 0 Jun 16 07:32 tmp/ctrlrv4/nightly/Builds/Generated/Linux/Standalone/build/intermediate/Release/CtrlrLuaBigInteger_d3efa115.o
-rw-rw-r–. 1 dlphilp dlphilp 0 Jun 16 07:32 tmp/ctrlrv4/nightly/Builds/Generated/Linux/Standalone/build/intermediate/Release/CtrlrLuaComponentAnimator_a379a037.o

The build fails because these three files will not compile. Can anyone suggest why this is happening ?

TIA,

If the files are truncated it means something has gone wrong during the compilator, remove the build directory and try again (remove all the .o files)

@atom :

Thanks but that didn’t fix anything. The same three files refuse to compile. No errors are reported during the build process, so I’m at a complete loss how to proceed. Any suggestions will be vastly appreciated, I’ve been trying to get a working version of Ctrlr for more than a week.

You can try to see what the files are really after the compilation, assuming you know the file name and it’s called FILE:

ls -al FILE
file FILE

you can try to see what commands will really get executed by typing “make -n” and manually executing the compile command for those files that fail.

Check if you have enough disk space (the files are 0 size so that’s bad they should contain some data)

That was my first thought, but there’s 65G left on the partition. I’ve been compiling other apps without this complication.

I’ll try your other suggestions this afternoon, thanks !

I ended up with a working build by using part of the ctrlr-aio.sh script. Specifically I used the build.sh script at ctrlrv4/nightly/Builds/Generated/Linux/VST which created the plugin.

[dlphilp@localhost ~]$ file ctrlr-build/tmp/ctrlrv4/nightly/Bin/Ctrlr-VST-x86_64.so
ctrlr-build/tmp/ctrlrv4/nightly/Bin/Ctrlr-VST-x86_64.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=0xd804c376bc00c5d062bd6d3b281defdc29dd1ed7, not stripped

The plugin opens in Bitwig Studio 1.0.10 but most menu items are greyed out. Still working on that. A permissions problem, maybe ?

Best,

No it’s a focus issue in JUCE, click on the resizer corner (bottom right) and the open a menu item, it should work. It’s something i want to fix but i really don’t know how.
