make it compile and work under Linux #151

dehnhardt · 2021-02-05T14:53:13Z

I had a hard time getting ctrlr to work - at least partly - under Ubuntu 20.04.
With this changes

compilation is successfull
I can run ctrl - but only when compiled in debug mode. In release mode I get an exception somewhere in the early startup phase.
MIDI ports can be opened
Receiving of MIDI is successfull
Sending does not work
I don't think this PR can be applied at all, but it might give you some hints where changes are required for Linux.

these parts in the Makefile gives errors, Is VST3 Relevant for Linux at all?

yes

But I'd think this is a bug in Projucer

Why would VST3 not be "relevant" for Linux?

I think you should split the patch into 3 parts: MIDI, Linux and Debug.

Is the version change necessary? Are you shure, that you want to step by two ?

I think you should split the patch into 3 parts: MIDI, Linux and Debug.

As I said in the notes on the top, this PR was not intended to be applied, because still some things doe not work. I had no time to dig deeper into that, I just did not want to throw away my findings.
Related to the debug settings: Strangely, the application only runs when I do a debug build. With a release build, it crashes as soon as I open a panel. Therefore, they somehow already belong in this patch ;-)

mtarenskeen · 2021-03-22T10:31:31Z

My coding skills are too limited to contribute much, but following this issue with interest.
I would love to see a reliable stable new Linux build. Just one request: Ubuntu is very popular, but Linux is more than just Ubuntu. Would be nice if the build scripts will work on other Linux distributions as well.
