3D-audio plugins building problems

[TheYke]

Hi folks,
sorry to bother you with newbie-thingies. i want to get into 3D-Audio & Ambisonics in Reaper.
there are some pretty neat plugins out there for multichannel-mixing such as these. they simulate rooms with multichannel-speakers quite effectively so that you can mix in 3D with headphones. good thing is: linux support. unfortunately I cannot get those to build.

I followed the instructions:

Code: Select all

mkdir BUILD

Code: Select all

 cd BUILD 

Code: Select all

ccmake ..

which opens the configure-window where I see the include-directories and switch lv2-build on etc. After configuring there is the following output:

Code: Select all

 CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:3 (cmake_policy):
   The OLD behavior for policy CMP0026 will be removed from a future version
   of CMake.

   The cmake-policies(7) manual explains that the OLD behaviors of all
   policies are deprecated and that a policy should be set to OLD only under
   specific short-term circumstances.  Projects should be ported to the NEW
   behavior and not rely on setting a policy to OLD.



 CMake Warning (dev) at /usr/share/cmake-3.16/Modules/FindOpenGL.cmake:275 (message):
   Policy CMP0072 is not set: FindOpenGL prefers GLVND by default when
   available.  Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0072" for policy details.  Use the
   cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this warning.

   FindOpenGL found both a legacy GL library:

     OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY: /usr/lib/libGL.so

   and GLVND libraries for OpenGL and GLX:

     OPENGL_opengl_LIBRARY: /usr/lib/libOpenGL.so
     OPENGL_glx_LIBRARY: /usr/lib/libGLX.so

   OpenGL_GL_PREFERENCE has not been set to "GLVND" or "LEGACY", so for
   compatibility with CMake 3.10 and below the legacy GL library will be used.
 Call Stack (most recent call first):
   CMakeLists.txt:247 (FIND_PACKAGE)
 This warning is for project developers.  Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

then when i issue

Code: Select all

 make 

I get this Error 2 Output:

I'm on manjaro, Kernel 5.4.

I'm pretty sure I got the dependencies and I tried to check the include-directories. any idea how to troubleshoot this? I'm by no means a building expert.

thanks in advance!

Hi,

By quick look may advice to try juce_upgrade branch

[TheYke]

Ha, how blind I am. Checking this advice as soon as possible!

EDIT: no luck with this one ...

[davephillips]

Greetings,

Did you run cmake before running ccmake ? Or did you select Generate from ccmake ? I. e. :

Code: Select all

cd BUILD
cmake ../
ccmake .

dp

[TheYke]

basically I create a BUILD directory

Code: Select all

mkdir BUILD

inside the extracted git-archive, and issue

Code: Select all

ccmake ..

from there. this gives possibility to set up the configuration, what I want to build, include-directories etc. In there I hit "c" for configure and then "g" for generate. this generates a makefile inside the BUILd-directory. Then I run the

Code: Select all

make

command with the results above. Am I missing something very basic here?

[Kott]

grab the branch
git clone https://github.com/kronihias/ambix -b juce_upgrade

cd ambix and change CMakeLists.txt from line 256 to:

i checked the stated file "juce_VST_Wrapper.cpp" at line 104 and there it says:

Code: Select all

namespace Vst2
{
// If the following files cannot be found then you are probably trying to build
// a VST2 plug-in or a VST2-compatible VST3 plug-in. To do this you must have a
// VST2 SDK in your header search paths or use the "VST (Legacy) SDK Folder"
// field in the Projucer. The VST2 SDK can be obtained from the
// vstsdk3610_11_06_2018_build_37 (or older) VST3 SDK or JUCE version 5.3.2. You
// also need a VST2 license from Steinberg to distribute VST2 plug-ins.
#include "pluginterfaces/vst2.x/aeffect.h"
#include "pluginterfaces/vst2.x/aeffectx.h"
}

seems like it misses the VST2_SDK, right? If this is the case, no problem I got these files. But as I'm a newbie, I'm quite uncertain where to put the path to the directory, so that it can find the SDK?

[Kott]

according to CMakeLists.txt
it should be in ~/SDKs/VST3/

ls ~/SDKs/VST3/pluginterfaces/vst2.x/
aeffect.h aeffectx.h vstfxstore.h

[TheYke]

Yeey! Thank you very much for your help! Just built the pluggos sucessfully!
I had to copy the Vst2-SDK files to ~/SDKs/VST3/, then it worked out.
you all rock! thanks

[Kott]

Welcome.
Also, there ambisonic plugins You might like: https://plugins.iem.at/

[TheYke]

Yeah, thanks for the tip.
These I could build and got installed already. I'm excited to create my first 3D-mixes now
