Building HISE Scriptnode on Linux
-
after hours of trial and error building the scriptnode branch of HISE on linux mint 19.2, i finally managed to build the HISE standalone binary. Because i couldn't find helpful ressources by searching the internet, and i guess, that other people may run into the same problems, i decided to post my workflow here, hoping that i have done everything correctly - otherwise, please correct me. ;-)
- download the scriptnode branch of HISE via github
-
unzip the "HISE-scriptnode" folder
-
in "/HISE-scriptnode/hi_modules/synthesisers/synths/WavetableTools.cpp" line 503 -> replace "ceilf" with "ceil" with a texteditor
- in "/HISE-scriptnode/hi_tools/hi_standalone_components/SliderPack.cpp" line 300 -> replace "floorf" with "floor"
- in "/HISE-scriptnode/hi_tools/hi_standalone_components/SliderPack.cpp" line 302 -> replace "fmodf" with "fmod" and delete the "f" conversion suffix after "1.0"
-
open the "HISE Standalone.jucer" file in "/HISE-scriptnode/projects/standalone" in the Projucer
-
just save the file, you don't need to change anything within Projucer - the Makefile will automatically be created in "/HISE-scriptnode/projects/standalone/Builds/LinuxMakefile"
-
Run the Makefile via terminal with the command
make - CONFIG=Release-
If everything is done so far, it should compile the "HISE Standalone" binary to the "build" subfolder
-
run "HISE Standalone" by doubleclicking the icon, open the settings dialog, select the correct path to the HISE scriptnode source and a path to folder, where your custom nodes should be stored in. for some reason, this only worked for me, when this folder was located inside the HISE source code folder, i don't really know, why.... :-/ after that, save settings and quit HISE.
-
once more, open the "HISE Standalone.jucer" file in "/HISE-scriptnode/projects/standalone" in the Projucer
-
in "hi_modules" change "HI_ENABLE_CUSTOM_NODE_LOCATION" to "Enabled"
- resave the project and rebuild HISE like described in step 8 via the Makefile.
at least, this workflow worked for me, hope some people will benefit of that description... ;-)
