Linux dependency issue

d.healey

Well Ubuntu 14 is not good. Projucer 5 requires libwebkit v4 which isn't available for that version of Ubuntu, I tried installing libwebkit-4 but it has its own set of dependencies and I was falling into a rabbit hole. I then tried using an older version of Projucer which built just fine but it seems is too old to build HISE. So I'm going to try Ubuntu 16.

Linux Mint 18 worked, shame I can't go back earlier though.

Christoph Hart

Hmm if webkit is the only non-behaving dependency you might get rid of it since it‘s just for rendering webpages and shouldn‘t be used by any plugin amyways.

d.healey

@christoph-hart The problem is the version of Projucer supplied with HISE won't open without webkit either.

Christoph Hart

Yes but I think you could remove the dependency from webkit (maybe with setting the JUCE_ENABLE_WEB_BROWSER macro to 0 and rebuild the Projucer.

I‘ll take a look.

Christoph Hart

According to this post:

https://forum.juce.com/t/link-error-with-webkit-disabled/22124

disabling JUCE_WEB_BROWSER should work. I don't have a Linux distro without this library so you need to check it for yourself.

If this fixes the issue, I'll commit the change to the repo and rebuild the binary - or maybe you could even send the Projucer binary that you've build with your old distro, so it will run on more machines :)

d.healey

@christoph-hart Just so I understand. I rebuild Projucer with that value set? Where do I set that value?

d.healey

Also does it have to be version 5.2 or should I build the latest?

Christoph Hart

Open the projucer that you have build.
Load the project in HISE FOLDER/JUCE/extras/Projucer/Projucer.jucer
Click on the modules tab on the left side, select the juce_graphics module and set JUCE_WEB_BROWSER to 0.
Click on "File -> Save Project and open in IDE"
It will create a makefile under Builds/LinuxMakefile. Run this file (make in the terminal) and you should get a new projucer binary.

d.healey

@christoph-hart Oh I see, I was thinking I needed to build it on my system running the old version of Ubuntu where the Projucer won't open. I shall build it now.

d.healey

I'm thinking I could also get rid of the libcurl dependency on Linux too right? JUCE_USE_CURL=0.

d.healey

I've hit a snag

make: *** No rule to make target '../../Source/ComponentEditor/Components/jucer_ComponentTypeHandler.cpp', needed by 'build/intermediate/Release/jucer_ComponentTypeHandler_d7e70242.o'. Stop.

d.healey

Oh I figured it out, our old friend case sensitivity strikes again. The Components folder is named components. I fixed this and now I'm getting more problems, I bet the solution is the same :D

d.healey

Ok I've built it now. Will test it on ye olde Ubuntu later today.

d.healey

Well it was a bit of a struggle but I managed to build the Projucer and HISE on Linux Mint 17 (Ubuntu 14), had to also install g++6 in order to use C++14.

The autogenerated jucer files from HISE have the JUCE_WEB_BROWSER and JUCE_USE_CURL set to use default, is it possible to make it generate with them set to disabled so I don't have to open them and do it manually for each export? Also it possible to get HISE to generate separate jucers for standalone and plugin so I can run a single batch file to compile both?

Here is the download for both the Projucer and HISE that I built - https://www.dropbox.com/s/10b1g7pj22fkaqb/HISEProjucer.7z?dl=0

Christoph Hart

Yes of course I can change the flags.

Building both targets with one command is not possible, but why don‘t you just call it twice in your script (check the build.bat and build.sh scripts I‘ve commited to your repo, they do exactly this.

Christoph Hart

Alright, I've pushed the change. Please let me know if it works.

I'm getting this message when trying to build a VSTi now

/usr/bin/ld: /home/dave/.vst//Sofia Woodwinds.a(BinaryData_ce4232d4.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `_ZN10BinaryData21knobModulated_200_pngE' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

The standalone compiles without issue. One thing I found though was adding the extra linker flag -no-pie for the standalone resulted in the correct mime-type being set on my system. So might be good to add this by default.

Christoph Hart

Seems like an intermediate files issue. Try a full clean & rebuild.

d.healey

@christoph-hart Yep that was it! thanks :)
