Unable to find libncurses.6.dylib when launching Hise + Faust

[ulrik]

@Christoph-Hart Ok, I've set the Faust path but now Hise crash every time I create a new dsp file and load it
This is my journey:

• No problems building Hise with Faust enabled
• Launching Hise after successful build result ina message saying "libfaust.2.........dylib can not be opened because its identity is not confirmed"

So I use the terminal to make it trustworthy

xattr -cr /Users/ulrikboden/Music/Hise/HISE-develop/tools/faust/lib/libfaust.2.54.9.dylib

This will make Hise open, I set the path to Faust in the settings

and start exploring this exciting new world of Faust :)

I create the dsp Network file and load the "core.faust"

however it ends abruptly when I create a "New File" in core.faust, Hise crashing.

So I open the project again, (the "New file" I created in core.faust is there, I just need to load it, but as soon as I try Hise crash again.

If I open the created .dsp file in an external editor it says:

// Faust Source File: CompressorST
// Created with HISE on 2023-01-02
import("stdfaust.lib");
process = _, _;

and that looks good, right?

and this is my network file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Network ID="STCompressor" Version="0.0.0">
  <Node FactoryPath="container.chain" ID="STCompressor" Bypassed="0">
    <Nodes>
      <Node ID="faust" FactoryPath="core.faust" Bypassed="0">
        <Properties>
          <Property ID="ClassId" Value=""/>
          <Property ID="NumParameters" Value="0"/>
        </Properties>
        <Parameters/>
        <SwitchTargets/>
      </Node>
    </Nodes>
    <Parameters/>
  </Node>
</Network>

What am I doing wrong?

/opt/local/lib/libncurses.6.dylib : yes I recently realized that our recent Faust binary packages have several /opt/local/lib/xxx dependancies (because we build them using a MacPorts installed LLVM version), which is bad :anguished_face: . But embedding LLVM without any dependancies is not so easy. Still fighting to find a proper solution.

@Christoph-Hart Here is Chat GPT answer !

How to build LLVM on macOS without any dependancies ?

To build LLVM on macOS without any dependencies, you will need to build the LLVM source code from scratch. This process involves downloading the LLVM source code, configuring the build environment, and compiling the source code using a suitable compiler.

Here are the general steps you will need to follow to build LLVM on macOS without any dependencies:

Download the LLVM source code. You can obtain the latest stable release of LLVM from the LLVM website (https://llvm.org/releases/), or you can check out the latest development version of LLVM from the LLVM Git repository (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project).
Configure the build environment. LLVM uses the CMake build system, which requires you to specify a number of build options and configuration variables. You will need to create a build directory and run CMake to generate the build files for LLVM.
Compile the source code. Once the build files have been generated, you can use a suitable compiler (such as Clang or GCC) to compile the LLVM source code. You can use the make command to build LLVM, or you can use a build tool such as Ninja to build LLVM more quickly.
Install LLVM. Once the LLVM source code has been compiled, you will need to install it on your system. You can do this by running the make install command from the build directory.

Note that building LLVM from scratch can be a complex process, and it may require a significant amount of time and resources. If you are not familiar with building software from source code, you may want to consider using a pre-built version of LLVM instead. This will allow you to use LLVM without the need to build it yourself.

@sletz

Same issue here. Monterey - M1 - Xcode 13.1

[ulrik]

@sletz Is it possible to get hands on an older Faust binary package?
It was...

[ulrik]

@ulrik Ok, I installed older Faust binaries "Faust-2.50.6-x64" and I have no more crashes :)

I still have to use the "xattr -cr /path to the libfaust.dylib, but that's a Mac thing....

[sletz]

What was the crash? Any crash log?

[ulrik]

@sletz sorry for late answer, no crash logs I'm afraid

@ulrik Please can you tell me How can I install libncurses.6.daylib to get rid of HISE Can not be opened error !!

At first I was having libfaust.daylib not verified error. I have managed it by bypassing Gatekeeper. But still no luck. HISE is not being opened and keep crashing.

Please tell me the required steps : I have a very poor knowledge on MAC OS.

@DabDab As I wrote up here, I installed an older version of Faust, try to use Faust-2.50-x64 instead

@ulrik OK>.. Great.. Thank you (y)
