Error message with FAUST in HISE

[toxonic]

@sletz you mean in Faust? I already compiled it in Faust works, no problem there...

[sletz]

@toxonic Not in Faust Web IDE, but in a terminal on your machine:

• you create a foo.dsp file with the code
• then "faust foo.dsp" in a terminal, does this works?

[toxonic]

@sletz i'll try, when i'm back home. But i'm pretty sure it works, since i didnt't mean the Faust online compiler, but the Faust works IDE on my machine, which compiles via the local Faust compiler.

[sletz]

@toxonic The web Faust IDE embed its own webassembly version of the compiler and all DSP libraries. So running in a terminal is a different story.

[Christoph Hart]

The example works on my Macbook too so I'm pretty sure it's something with your faust installation.

What happens if you install faust to a completely different location and then set the FaustPath to this directory?

[toxonic]

@sletz I usually use the Faust Works IDE, so I have no experience in using Faust via terminal.
I tried to compile the code to alsa-gtk app, and there is no problem:

If i should use the terminal, could you please tell me, what to type in?
@Christoph-Hart I am not firm in installing software to other locations but the default ones. What have i got to do? "sudo make install /home/XYZ/faust"?

[sletz]

@toxonic You create a foo.dsp text file, you paste the DSP code. Then type "faust foo.dsp" in a terminal.

[toxonic]

@sletz It seems to compile properly to cpp code. This is the output:

@Christoph-Hart Okay, i managed it to install Faust to a folder in my home directory and indeed: After pointing Hise to this directory the code works fine! :-)
On one hand that's good news and i'm lucky, that it's running. On the other hand, it is a bit annoying, that i can't install to the default directory and i don't know why.

@toxonic I have the same error "expecting LPAR or DEF" in an effect made with Faust. The problem is only on Linux. I tried installing Faust again in a folder in my user directory, then changed the path of Faust on Hise, but it still gives me the error.

Any ideas?
