If you compile the plugin statically linked to libc shouldn't that make the plugin work without installing a specific version of libc?

If so, could someone give me a hint how to do that?

For a vst, static doesn't need to come into it unless you want static libraries linked in which might help with compatibility like in the above library problem, but I've seen problems with static libraries with some vst's.

When it's linked there is a -shared option indicating that a shared library is being made, and Linux vst's are shared libraries.

The Makefile I used for the vst is here https://github.com/osxmidi/the-source/b ... e/Makefile

The LDFLAGS are the linking options (-shared, libraries -lX11 etc) and the CFLAGS are the compiling options (optimizations -O3 -ffast-math etc)

-------------

CPPFLAGS := $(DEPFLAGS) -DLINUX=1 -DNDEBUG=1 -DJUCER_LINUX_MAKE_6D53C8B4=1 -DJUCE_APP_VERSION=1.0.2 -DJUCE_APP_VERSION_HEX=0x10002 -I /usr/include -I /usr/include/freetype2 -I ../../../vst -I ../../JuceLibraryCode -I ../../JuceLibraryCode/modules
CFLAGS += $(CPPFLAGS) $(TARGET_ARCH) -fPIC -O3 -ffast-math -I../../../audio/inc -I../../../gui
CXXFLAGS += $(CFLAGS) -std=c++11
LDFLAGS += $(TARGET_ARCH) -L$(BINDIR) -L$(LIBDIR) -Wl,--no-undefined -shared -fvisibility=hidden -lX11 -lXext -lfreetype -ldl -lpthread -lrt

If you do a ls -la on the libstdc++.so.6 files, then you can see what they are pointing to.

On my system libstdc++.so.6 points to libstdc++.so.6.0.22

You only have libstdc++.so.6.0.20, so it's an older version and is probably causing the error.

So if you can install libstdc++.so.6.0.22 for your distro, then it should be ok.

I only have 6-4.8 and 6-4.9 in my repos.

Maybe there's another ppa I can add that includes it?

I tried this static version. It didn't work for some reason. Am I correct that it requires a host like Carla or Qtractor? It's a VST instrument, right? Or dssi or ladspa/LV2?

It's a Linux vst, and Ardour/Tracktion/BitWig/Reaper and other hosts can all handle it.

The static version has my libraries linked into it so theoretically it shouldn't need your libstdc++ but I don't know if it will work on your distro.

Can you update your distro, what is your distro btw?

I think that versioning symbols are causing the problem :

Code: Select all

$ ldd synister32.so 
./synister32.so: /lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by ./synister32.so)

Ditto for the 64-bit build. Neither loads here (Bitwig 2.1.1), but I'm on Fedora 21 x86_64, a rather old system.

Btw, this is a problem too, but only on the 64-bit binary :

Code: Select all

libmvec.so.1 => not found

I compiled the synth from the git sources, it works fine in Bitwig 2.1.1.

Brian, you'll have to update your system to use those binaries, or build the synth yourself.

HTH,

Hi guys,

my distro is AntiX (Debian) with the KXstudio repos added. I looked for a dist-upgrade but there was nothing to upgrade to.
I don't have Bitwig, but I can try using Ardour and see what that gives me.
Could it be something to do with file permissions?

I've used AntiX before.

Seeing that it's based on Debian, then you can probably just install or upgrade gcc and libstdc++ might be upgraded.

But I'm not sure what debian base version AntiX is and if gcc is available in the right version libstdc++.so.6.0.22 or higher

This (gcc5) installs libstdc++.so.6.0.24

https://packages.debian.org/sid/gcc-5

The new AntiX 17 is based on Debian 9 'Stretch'

AntiX 16.2 is based on Debian 8.8 "Jessie"

Just find Debian Jessie gcc5 and install it if you have AntiX 16.2

To install GCC 5+ from testing on debian jessie using apt-pinning:

Add debian testing repo to your apt sources by creating a file on /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder containing the line deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free

Instruct debian to use testing sources on certain packages by creating a file on /etc/apt/preferences.d containing the following:

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 100

Update apt database: sudo apt-get update

Install gcc from testing: sudo apt-get install -t testing gcc

Note that using -t testing you tell apt-get to install gcc from testing sources as configured earlier.

Run ldd on the plugin binaries and post the results. See my previous message for the howto (it's just "ldd /path/to/pluginname.so").

I can't include the Debian testing repository with uninstalling a whole lot of apps that I need.
I did however find the Kxstudio GCC5 package, but I get this error:

Boom. As advised, upgrade your C/C++ compiler, upgrade the system itself, or build the synth locally.

Best,

I've made Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit and 32 bit versions, so they should also run on older systems.

I've updated the link in the first post.

Hi, i have a test synister synth on debian 9 stretch with kxstudio repository and ardour 5.12. It's work perfect
