Fresh install issues Ubuntu 18.04

[cedeerwe]

Hey,

I am trying my best to get this up & running, but I am really struggling. Here are few different tries.

1) Fresh start, nothing installed.

$ git clone https://github.com/bsansouci/reprocessing-example.git

No idea what is wrong and how it can be fixed.

2) Globally installed bs-platform prior to start

$ git clone https://github.com/bsansouci/reprocessing-example.git && cd reprocessing-example && npm install
...(same output as before)

$ npm run build

> reprocessing-example@ build /home/cd/Scripts/Tutorials/ReasonReprocessing/reprocessing-example
> bsb -make-world

bs-platform version mismatch Running bsb 4.0.11 (/home/cd/Scripts/Tutorials/ReasonReprocessing/reprocessing-example/node_modules/bsb-native) vs vendored 5.0.6 (/home/cd/.npm-packages/lib/node_modules/bs-platform)

Apparently there is a version mismatch, so I have tried to install a lower version of bs-platform.

3) Global installation of bs-platform vs. 4.0.11

$ npm install -g bs-platform@4.0.11
$ npm link bs-platform
$ npm build
$ npm run build

Some error again.

I would appreciate anything that would point me in the correct direction.

I have tried installing bs-platform also locally in the package

$ npm install bs-platform
$ npm run build

> reprocessing-example@ build /home/cd/Scripts/Tutorials/ReasonReprocessing/reprocessing-example
> bsb -make-world

  The module or file Dynlink can't be found.
  - If it's a third-party dependency:
    - Did you list it in bsconfig.json?
    - Did you run `bsb` instead of `bsb -make-world`
      (latter builds third-parties)?
  - Did you include the file's directory in bsconfig.json?

I have no luck googling up what is Dynlink and how can I fix this.

Sorry about this rabbit hole you found yourself in. Unfortunately the first error message you got was very misleading.

This project actually relies on bsb-native rather than bs-platform but it seems that due to some error in a new version of the former, something on linux is breaking -- Usually bsb-native attempts to release linux and windows builds along with the mac one, which seems to have been missed this time. We still need to try and find the time to automate some of that stuff to make the updates smoother.

The takeaway is.. you don't need to install bs-platform, but it appears there's some bug in bsb-native that's causing an issue in install (I'm not 100% what it is).

[cedeerwe]

Thanks for the explanation. Is there any potential work-around? I do not need the newest version, I just want to try out Reprocessing.

[Schmavery]

You might have some luck downgrading bsb-native in the package.json to 4.0.7000?

[cedeerwe]

I have managed to build it by downgrading to 4.0.7000, thanks for the workaround tip!

[Schmavery]

Good to hear, we'll try to get the 4.0.1100 situation sorted out soon :)
