Compiling Faust based ScriptNodes on MacOS:Problem

[Lindon]

So just checking I'm not doing something stupid...

What should be the Faust Path in my Settings on MacOS?

Currently its: /Users/lindonparker/HISE/tools/faust

[d.healey]

@Lindon Looks correct, this is from the readme

When the build succeeded you need to go into the HISE Settings and set the FaustPath folder to the root folder of your faust installation (HISE_ROOT/tools/faust/), otherwise it won't find the libraries and any Faust compilation will fail.

If you're running it for the first time, the macOS gatekeeper might complain about the unsigned faust libraries, so you need to go into the security settings and manually allow the execution in there.

[Lindon]

@d-healey yeah - cant work out what it is Im doing wrong ...I guess I will have to wait for @Christoph-Hart

[Christoph Hart]

@Lindon are you using the latest version of HISE and Faust?

There was an issue where the compiler didn‘t pickup the C++ file that was generated by Faust but the most recent versions of both should fix that.

Oh and I‘m currently in Greece on vacation until September 1st so there is my calendar :)

yes - Im on the latest of both - but I will download them again and retry - I hope you are having a good time in Greece.

@Christoph-Hart OK well sadly that didnt fix it, I downloaded the latest HISE and the Latest Faust and I still get these errors:

Looks like I will have to wait until you get back.

@Lindon I can't seem to get the HISE release with faust to build, I put the newest release version of faust into the folders specified and the projucer export to xcode and then when I build I get these two errors:

Undefined symbols:
Linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

also the projucer says my juce path is incorrect

you need to start with HISE develop not HISE release..

[AxiomCrux]

@Lindon i noticed that after re-reading your steps. I guess I thought it would still work as the infrastructure for faust seems to be in scriptnode in the release version 4.0.0

i do wonder about compatibility issues and possible dev branch bugs so maybe ill finish off what im doing in 4.0.0 and then compile the dev build with faust after.

i am very excited about the possibilities of bringing some of the cool things ive made in faust/rnbo/gen dsp to be useful for others.

i am also keen on the scriptnode, i got a pretty unique synth in my first test

[Lindon]

@AxiomCrux vgreat - I look forward to seeing what you build.

But first I think I need @Christoph-Hart to take a look at this one when he gets back.

[Christoph Hart]

@Lindon Just checked it and it compiles here fine.

So the error message says that the compiler can't find the C++ class FaustDistTestFile generated by the Faust compiler when trying to compile the scriptnode wrapper network FaustDistTest. Can you post the content of the include file found in Binaries/Source/includes.h?

[Christoph Hart]

This is how my include file looks:

// [...]

#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-variable"
#endif

// Include third party header files ----------------

#include "FaustDistTestFile.h" 

// Include compiled network files ------------------

#include "BitRed01.h"
#include "ChorusTest.h"
#include "DirtModule.h"
#include "FaustDistTest.h"
#include "LoHiFilter.h"
#include "PassThru.h"

// [...]

If I comment out #include "FaustDistTestFile.h" , then the compilation fails with the exact message that you posted, so it's definitely failing to find the faust file.

[Lindon]

@Christoph-Hart well yes mine looks very differnt to yours:

/* Autogenerated include file. */
#if (defined (_WIN32) || defined (_WIN64))
#pragma warning( push )
#pragma warning( disable : 4189 4373)
#else
#pragma clang diagnostic push
#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-variable"
#endif

// Include compiled network files ------------------

#include "BitRed01.h"
#include "ChorusTest.h"
#include "DirtModule.h"
#include "FaustDistTest.h"
#include "LoHiFilter.h"
#include "PassThru.h"
#include "Phasertest1.h"
#include "pingpong.h"
#include "StereoDelay.h"
#include "TapeDelay.h"

#if (defined (_WIN32) || defined (_WIN64))
#pragma warning( pop )
#else
#pragma clang diagnostic pop
#endif

[Lindon]

@Lindon and its definitely there:

[Christoph Hart]

@Lindon no idea then, it literally does this:

auto fileList = getFilesFromThirdPartyFolder()

if(fileList.isNotEmpty())
   printComment("Include third party header files ----------------");

for(auto file in fileList)
   printIncludeStatement();

So the question is why doesn't it pick up this file? What if you rename it? Or delete it, as it should be recreated by the faust exporter.

[Lindon]

@Christoph-Hart said in Compiling Faust based ScriptNodes on MacOS:Problem:

getFilesFromThirdPartyFolder()

well I'd suggest the problem is in here:

getFilesFromThirdPartyFolder()

as its returning an empty list...

[Lindon]

If I delete it and run the compile again I get the same problem - and as you say, it rebuilds the .h file...

[Lindon]

if I remove the Faust node and create a new one and add a new file (called FaustTestTwo) I get the same problem , and now FaustTestTwo.h is in the ThirdPartyFolder

[Lindon]

@Lindon however when I delete the file and let it get rejenerated my includes.h file looks like this:

/* Autogenerated include file. */
#if (defined (_WIN32) || defined (_WIN64))
#pragma warning( push )
#pragma warning( disable : 4189 4373)
#else
#pragma clang diagnostic push
#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-variable"
#endif

// Include third party header files ----------------

#include "FaustDistTestFile.h"

// Include compiled network files ------------------

#include "BitRed01.h"
#include "ChorusTest.h"
#include "DirtModule.h"
#include "FaustDistTest.h"
#include "LoHiFilter.h"
#include "PassThru.h"
#include "Phasertest1.h"
#include "pingpong.h"
#include "StereoDelay.h"
#include "TapeDelay.h"

#if (defined (_WIN32) || defined (_WIN64))
#pragma warning( pop )
#else
#pragma clang diagnostic pop
#endif

So this should work now no?

But of course it doesn't....

[Lindon]

@Lindon aaaaaand, now its back to this again:

/* Autogenerated include file. */
#if (defined (_WIN32) || defined (_WIN64))
#pragma warning( push )
#pragma warning( disable : 4189 4373)
#else
#pragma clang diagnostic push
#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-variable"
#endif

// Include compiled network files ------------------

#include "BitRed01.h"
#include "ChorusTest.h"
#include "DirtModule.h"
#include "FaustDistTest.h"
#include "LoHiFilter.h"
#include "PassThru.h"
#include "Phasertest1.h"
#include "pingpong.h"
#include "StereoDelay.h"
#include "TapeDelay.h"

#if (defined (_WIN32) || defined (_WIN64))
#pragma warning( pop )
#else
#pragma clang diagnostic pop
