Export Setup Wizard Problems

@Christoph-Hart Genuinely don't know if you're joking or not

[Christoph Hart]

@dannytaurus no joke. Just run Claude code / Opencode with this agent and tell it to install everything so you can use HISE. Let's embrace the future, rofl.

[Christoph Hart]

@Christoph-Hart alright, there's a hise-setup.md file that contains instructions. Now the steps to install HISE are:

• open your AI agent tool, make sure it has the ability to perform bash stuff
• paste in the prompt "Download and execute https://raw.githubusercontent.com/christophhart/HISE/develop/hise-setup.md as an AI agent to set up HISE on this computer."
• follow the instructions.

Some models will refuse to do this for very reasonable security concerns, but some models will raw dog the content and directly execute it as if there is no evil in this world, so if you get some response like "mimii can't execute sudo mimimi", just pick another one.

I've checked it here on my Macbook and it kind of worked, but I haven't run it on a vanilla system, so whoever wants to be the brave pioneer to test this on a clean system will help out a lot.

[David Healey]

@Christoph-Hart I don't have a fresh system to test on and I don't think my VM could handle running it. But on my main system with opencode I'll do a dry run.

[Christoph Hart]

@David-Healey yup you can set it to test mode amd then it just prints out what it would do. It‘s of limited use but I‘ll keep it in until this has stabilized.

All the hours we spend with this subject and now it‘s just „let the robot do that lol“…

[David Healey]

@Christoph-Hart Dry run tells me it wants to install components that aren't needed and the wrong version of libwebkit2gtk for my system - I think I'll be doing it manually for a while yet

[TEST MODE] Would execute: sudo apt-get -y install build-essential make llvm clang libfreetype6-dev libx11-dev libxinerama-dev libxrandr-dev libxcursor-dev mesa-common-dev libasound2-dev freeglut3-dev libxcomposite-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libgtk-3-dev libjack-jackd2-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev libpthread-stubs0-dev ladspa-sdk

Oh it's also checking if GCC is lower than 11. That's no longer an issue, I'm building on v15.

Would check: gcc --version ≤ 11

I think it should prompt for the config. I'd probably want ReleaseWithFaust.

[TEST MODE] Would execute: make CONFIG=Release AR=gcc-ar -j`nproc --ignore=2`

Didn't give a choice to install and use faust, IPP or FFTW.

[Christoph Hart]

@David-Healey yes I also noticed the faust config already. Which model are you using? If there are any wrong dependencies it should figure this out but we can of course improve the script I oneshotted it in 30 minutes.

[David Healey]

@Christoph-Hart I'm using code llama - I only have 6GB VRAM so I'm rather limited.

Ah maybe it doesn't do that in test mode it just runs through the commands.

[Christoph Hart]

@David-Healey yeah a 6gb local model won‘t get you too far. I tried it with Opus 4.5 and it even fixed a compile error I introduced in the last commit…

[David Healey]

@Christoph-Hart Yeah if I get into it I'll use a cloud model.

[Christoph Hart]

@David-Healey the free one from opencode should be fine too (Big Pickle).

[David Healey]

@Christoph-Hart Aha I missed that one.

(Big Pickle).

I'm putting to work on one of the github issues and I'm burning through those free tokens :)

[David Healey]

Well colour me impressed! It fixed the bug.

Edit: Actually maybe desaturate me, I'm not sure if it hasn't introduced another issue.... more checking required.

Edit 2: Na fix doesn't work.

So I've been thinking and this doesn't make the process any simpler for a newcomer, it actually makes it more complicated and harder to solve when the AI screws up.

I have a much better solution. A simple bash/batch script. This is what I've been using for years for automated builds.

All a new user would need to do is run install_hise.sh. It could even detect an existing install and prompt to update instead.
