Continued Support for Raspberry Pi. #5335

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

Enhancement Summary

Update LMMS for Raspberry Pi 4 Raspbian OS, and others if it possible.

Justification

Current LMMS version on Raspbian is 1.1.3. RPi can't run VST plugins but Soundfonts works well with Sf2 Player, and other features and plugins also works well.

I hope LMMS will keep updating on Raspberry Pi.

LMMS 1.2.1 is already in Debian Bullseye (testing), so I believe it should be included in the next Raspbian release as well, as it is based on Debian. Unfortunately LMMS 1.2.0 came out just a little while after the latest Debian release (Buster) went into feature freeze, so for the lifetime of Debian Buster the version is unlikely to change. If Raspbian offers testing repository, you may want to install it from there. Otherwise you'll have to wait for the next release (which usually takes around 2 years).

As for the VSTs, most of them are built for the x86 architecture, so I imagine there is almost no chance of running them on an ARM-based machine like the Raspberry Pi.

Thank you for answer. I will ask them to add testing repo.

However, LMMS does not provide an armhf build binary yet. I also tried build from source, there is no problem with cmake, but I failed compile with make -j4.

And I agreed with VSTs, I don't execpt it.

There have been some experiments with running x86 wine on the raspberry pi by channeling it through qemu-user-static, but you will have to recompile your kernel to get the right ram configuration and you will probably have to recompile qemu on buster because it's broken in the repository. A quick google search will pop up a few video tutorials that will help. You may not get real time processing because you're passing an emulator through an emulator, but you do have a quad core 1.5 gigahertz processor at your disposal so your mileage may verry.

@DragonEagle 1.13 works perfect without qemu so I think the newer version of LMMS can support RPi 4 Raspbian with armv7l(armhf flaged) AppImage.

@lee-yunseok I was talking about vst usage

ghost commented 4 years ago

@DragonEagle Ah..., I understand but I think vsts are not suitable for RPi. Most high quality vsts need huge disk space. Soundfonts may be better.

This issue talking about LMMS on RPi.

@lee-yunseok What's your exact request? Is releasing AppImages for ARM sufficient?

ghost commented 4 years ago

@PhysSong Yes Appimage for RPi.

@PhysSong Travis ARM builds is in alpha. https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/multi-cpu-architectures
