Linux build of HISE

[diedeno]

I tried to use the standalone application on Linux (Ubuntu 16.4 LTS).
The software compiles without any error.
But when i try to start it, it (always) get a segmentaion fault.

startVoiceOpen

Whaty could be the problem here?
Thank you very much.

Hmm, I can compile and run it without the segfaults. I uploaded the recent build for Ubuntu here:

HISE Standalone Linux

Can you check if this build runs on your system?

[diedeno]

Hi Christoph,

I've tried your build, and i have exactly the same problem as before .
That's weird because i have a fresh install of 16.04 LTS.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial

Thank you very much.

[diedeno]

Oeps, those big fonts were not meant to be. Sorry

[Christoph Hart]

This is weird because the constructor is not called until you add a script processor. I'll check again for static initialisers...

[Christoph Hart]

I found the issue - it's because you don't have a app data folder with the ModuleEnum.xml file which causes HISE to rescan all modules but this method is crashing due to a recent commit (which I didn't noticed because I have this file). Thanks for letting me know!

I am busy fixing another issue right now, but I'll commit a fix for this tomorrow.

[diedeno]

OK, thank you very much.
I"m looking forward to try it.

[Christoph Hart]

Should be fixed with the latest commit. I probably have to extend the Travis CI test coverage to include running HISE and not just compiling it to avoid this kind of issues in the future :)

[diedeno]

OK, this works. Thx

Hello Everybody!

I've tried to build HISE on Ubuntu Studio 16.04.3 64-bit,
but it stops at the point where the last line says "Linking HISE Standalone".
This happens right after the "Compiling juce_tracktion_marketplace.cpp" line.
All this happens in the terminal, but everything else looks the same as in Dave's Windows HISE build video on YouTube.

I also made a build with Debug and Release in the Makefile, but of course it didn't change the thing, so it still doesn't work.

I also disabled the IPP in Projucer, but it didn't help either.

As I opened and saved the HISE Standalone project in Projucer,
Projucer tried to update itself,
but I clicked the "Cancel" button,
so I did the saving with the Projucer version that comes with the GitHub Clone/Download,
which is 4.3.0.

I also have a few warnings while building,
but I don't know what exactly to do about them.

I have the "build" folder,
and also a sub-folder in the "build" folder named "Intermediate" with a lot of files in it,
and I have a "HISE Standalone" executable in it,
but for some reason it doesn't execute,
it just won't start.
Am I missing something here?

What should I do, any idea?

Thank you for your help!

While we're digging up this old thread I too am having an issue with HISE on Linux Mint. The build completes just fine, but when I try and run the binary via the terminal I get this.

JUCE v4.3.0
JUCE Assertion failure in UtilityClasses.h:489
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'juce::String'
Aborted

I tried enabling JACK in projucer (I'd previously disabled it for some reason I can't recall) now I get this build error:

In file included from ../../JuceLibraryCode/juce_audio_devices.cpp:9:0:
../../../../JUCE/modules/juce_audio_devices/juce_audio_devices.cpp:119:25: fatal error: jack/jack.h: No such file or directory
   #include <jack/jack.h>

[Christoph Hart]

Not sure about the JACK thing, but I'll take a look about the other issue. One thing however is that you are running a Debug build on Linux with vastly decreased performance (otherwise you wouldn't hit an assertion failure). That error looks like there is going something wrong and instead of the error being handled by the script engine it slips through and calls abort.

[d.healey]

I tried it set to release too. I have an older version on my laptop which builds and runs fine so I'm going to play spot the difference tomorrow and see if I can find anything obvious.

[d.healey]

I think there is a dependency issue. The latest github version builds and runs on my laptop perfectly but I'm having trouble on my main system. I changed to Release mode, and installed sudo apt-get install libjack-jackd2-dev and that got rid of the jack error but when I run it I get the juce::String error again.

Cannot lock down 82274202 byte memory area (Cannot allocate memory)
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'juce::String'
Aborted

Update: Actually I'm starting to think the issue is with my jack configuration. On my laptop I'm using Cadence but on my PC I'm using qjackctl because I get less latency with it.
If I close jack I get this mess when trying to run HISE.

Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
Cannot connect to server request channel
jack server is not running or cannot be started
JackShmReadWritePtr::~JackShmReadWritePtr - Init not done for 4294967295, skipping unlock
JackShmReadWritePtr::~JackShmReadWritePtr - Init not done for 4294967295, skipping unlock
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'juce::String'
Aborted

[d.healey]

I managed to get rid of the memory lock down thing by increasing the limit in etc/security/limit.config to 1000000. Now there's just the juce::String assertion issue to solve.

[d.healey]

I'm getting the same error on my laptop now too :(

After looking at this line in the source I'm thinking that this is still some memory issue... any ideas @Christoph-Hart?
JUCE Assertion failure in UtilityClasses.h:489

[Christoph Hart]

Hmm, everything is running fine for me, but I am not doing JACK or anything serious because I am just running it inside VirtualBox (the graphics are messed up but I think the culprit is the VM since Visual Code behaves similar).

The problem is that the exception handling on Linux is a bit more crude than on OSX or Windows and calls terminate whenever an error is raised. Can you hook up a Debugger and see where it throws the String?

[d.healey]

This is what I get from GDB, not sure how helpful it is though:

[Christoph Hart]

Unfortunately not really. I think I need to crank up my Linux skills for fixing this one :)

[d.healey]

I'm digging away at it too, it's weird that it was working on my previous Linux Mint set up but now it's not. I've put Cadence on my laptop to see if it makes any difference from using qjackctl, so far the only difference is it fixes the memory lock issues (it sets up the audio group config file so I don't have to do it manually). I also think libjack-jackd2-dev should be listed as a dependency for building on Linux...
