Compiling HISE with Faust issue (Linux)

[toxonic]

@David-Healey yep, it's in usr/local/lib

[David Healey]

@toxonic Does your symlink of libfaust.so point to libfaust.so.2?

[toxonic]

@toxonic yeah:

ls -l /usr/local/lib/libfaust.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 Jan 13 15:02 /usr/local/lib/libfaust.so -> /usr/local/lib/libfaust.so.2

[David Healey]

@toxonic Hmmm, what about adding a symlink here /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfaust.so to point to it as well?

[toxonic]

@David-Healey
Sorry, I was offline for a while! Yeah, crazy — it worked! For whatever reason, it’s compiling now!
Still the sameversion number like the master branch, is this correct?

well, cc -fuse-ld=mold -Wl,--trace -lfaust -x c /dev/null 2>&1 | grep libfaustnow outputs:

trace: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfaust.so

[David Healey]

@toxonic Yes that commit hash is correct :)

[toxonic]

@David-Healey However, I still have no idea why this works now and apparently runs without any issues for all other Linux users. Is this something that should be changed in the HISE source code, or is it a problem with my system? Any idea?

[David Healey]

@toxonic I've searched the HISE source code for /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfaust.so and there are no hardcoded references so I think it's just that the linker expects it in that location, but I'm not entirely sure.

I guess when you install faust using make install it puts it in a different location than if you used your distro's package.

Yeah, i did that as well ... also just for libfaust and checked each occurence but found nothing!
However, thank you for youtr patience! I just would really like to know, how to avoid that in future... ;-)

Build with LLVM version 14.0.0

This LLVM version is very old BTW, I suggest using a more recent one if possible.
