Plugins don't load in fresh build of VCV Rack

[oblivionratula]

Don't know if this is better here or the main VCV project, but I compiled your plugins in the plugins directory, but they don't load in VCV Rack. Any leads? On Mac:

Failed to read init() symbol in /Users/*me*/Rack/plugins/vcvrackplugins_av500/plugin.dylib

Thanks.

[av500]

yes, the problem is that the plugin pack is called just "av500" but my git repo is called "vcvrackplugins_av500" - so just rename the folder to "av500" and it should work

[oblivionratula]

No dice. Same error.

[av500]

ah sorry, the path name issue would only show in blank panels, but the plugin would still load, it's something else then

[oblivionratula]

Indeed, make seemed to succeed.

hmm, no idea then. I did a Linux build, I'll try on the office Mac tomorrow...

[oblivionratula]

Ah, FWIW, it DOES work in my linux VM. The p0wr module is cute. ;)

Would still like to get it running on Mac if possible. No rush, though. Thanks.

I have no idea what I'm doing - a complete hack - but I got it to work by modeling the src/av500.cpp file after the Fundamental.cpp. Thus:

#include "av500.hpp"

Plugin *plugin;

void init(rack::Plugin *p) {
                plugin = p;
                plugin->slug = "av500";
                plugin->name = "av500";
                createModel<MultipleWidget>  (plugin, "av500 Multiple",         "Triple Multiple");
                createModel<Blank8hpWidget>  (plugin, "av500 8hp Blank",        "8hp Blank");
                createModel<p0wrWidget>      (plugin, "av500 p0wr",     "p0wr");
                createModel<TR808CowbellWidget>(plugin, "av500 808Cowbell", "808Cowbell");
        }

The modules load and the mult does what a mult should. The Cowbell panel is blank, however.

Were there changes in the plugin structuring maybe?

[av500]

ok, I see. I think its due to the fact that the vcv code has changed and I have not updated my plugin code for that. let me do that tonight

[av500]

ok, it should work now, thanks for pointing out the changes :) the missing cowbell panel is most likely due to some path not OK, do you have plugins/av500 as the path?

[oblivionratula]

I misspoke. Cowbell has a panel. Says CowBell, has an input and output jack, and works. Just no knobs. This may be intentional.

[oblivionratula]

And I can confirm a fresh pull and make with the changes works on Mac. Thanks. The mult is so simple, but so needed. ;)

[av500]

the original 808 cowbell has no parameters or knobs, so this module only plays a sample of it :)

[oblivionratula]

Then it's perfect!
And very modular. ;)
