Linux build of HISE

Christoph Hart

I think I've got no excuse left to stall this any further :)

I'll try to take a look at it the next days...

d.healey

@christoph-hart and I will gladly test it :)

Christoph Hart

Does Hise already run as VST? I forgot :)

d.healey

@christoph-hart I haven't tested it, but I will try now

d.healey

Yep it compiles to a .so and it opens in Reaper :)

However when I load my HISE project and click to view the interface (either by clicking the home button or going to the interface designer) I get an instant close - this could be due to Reaper though so I'll download another DAW and test further.

Another interesting thing, the HISE CPU meter reports much higher usage than the Reaper performance meter...

Edit: It also crashes Ardour and carla. Must be something in my particular project though because when I start a blank instrument I can create a GUI within the plugin no problem.

Christoph Hart

I think the REAPER CPU meter is calculating the usage according to this formula :)

displayedCpuUsage = realCpuUsage / 10.0

d.healey

That could be it (why would they do that?), but I'm also seeing different CPU in the task monitor. Does HISE show peak values only?

The activity monitor also takes the CPU usage for the UI rendering into account which is basically nonsense (as long as you don't have issues with low framerates). The audio performance is unaffected by this.

But HISE is metering the CPU peaks (because they are interesting as they are responsible for dropouts). The average CPU usage is way lower.

d.healey

@christoph-hart Ah now I understand. :)

Christoph Hart

So...

I've finally added VST export :)

You should be able to compile native VST plugins on Linux now - by default it copies the .so file (which is the dynamic library for the plugin to ~/.vst/.

I've tested them with the JUCE plugin host and HISE as well as the exported demo project loads fine - although I am running on a Virtual Machine so I can't get any sound of the host nor get it running, so please confirm that it works on your system.

d.healey

Oh ho! I shall try this out later tonight! Thanks

d.healey

Linux export seems perfect so far, the VSTi opens in Reaper and plays perfectly. I haven't tried the whole install samples thing yet though...

d.healey

The only issue I've found so far is when it pops up and asks if I want to open the folder containing the batch file, I click ok and it opens the path in my web browser.

Christoph Hart

Should be fixed now. Weirdly, it was working for me on my Ubuntu VM, but all the other functions that show a file location (like File->Show project in Finder) use its parent directory as target so this should work more consistently.

Works great with Ardour4 on Ubuntu 17.10. Nice work!

d.healey

@christoph-hart This still isn't working for me... and I noticed it opens in the web browser when I go to show project in finder too

It seems like something went wrong at autogenerated the resource files. Can you post the content of PresetData.h in you Build directory?

Presets aren't showing in the plugin either, also I get this when building the plugin
