Can we get 2.3.0 binaries for Linux? #1432

Open hijinio opened 3 years ago

hijinio commented 3 years ago

I love Carla Rack and have been patiently waiting to see if 2.3.0 will come to Linux. Do you know when this will happen?

I would compile myself, but I always run into problems with compiling the wine bridges.

Thanks!

what linux distro are you using that you cannot get 2.3 from?

any debian version can just the deb files from kxstudio, arch stuff is updated, rpm/fedora is updated...

hijinio commented 3 years ago

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04. I only see 2.2.0 binaries on this page: https://kx.studio/Applications:Carla I download directly so I can manually place the .lv2 in a specific folder.

you can use the deb files from https://kx.studio/Repositories:Applications

hijinio commented 3 years ago

Ok. I can try that and then move them. Thanks! (You are doing amazing work by the way!)

Oh! Could this page please be linked from e.g. https://kx.studio/Applications:Carla#Download directly?

I wanted to download Carla 2.3.0 .deb files the other day & ended up eventually finding them on launchpad.net because I didn't realise they were directly linked from anywhere on kx.studio site.

Thanks for your work on Carla.

does this work with ubuntu 21.04 ?

falkTX commented 3 years ago

Anything since 18.04 as mentioned in https://kx.studio/Repositories:FAQ

Is there a way (without compiling it myself) to install the latest Carla application without the plugins and carla-control?

falkTX commented 3 years ago

There are deb files in https://kx.studio/Repositories:Applications

Thanks. I downloaded the Carla .deb but it includes more than just the Carla app. I don't need the plugins or Carla-control. Up to now I'm using the AppImage of 2.2.0

AppImage of 2.2.0

I have no idea where that comes from, but it is not from me, so it is unsupported. Or do you mean the files from https://kx.studio/Downloads ? Those are not app images.

And anyway, you are confusing a bit how carla works perhaps. When packaged as deb file, carla will have its python source code as-is. The addition of some internal plugins and Carla-Control takes a few kB at best, carla-control code is basically this https://github.com/falkTX/Carla/blob/main/source/frontend/carla_host_control.py Everything else is shared with the main carla. For the pre-compiled binaries there is a lot of wasted duplicated code and libraries just to be able to have 2 separate executables. Even worse with the addition of lv2 and vst2 plugin versions... (pyqt5 is there 4x, one for each type of build)

Anyway, for v2.5 I think I will have the usual Linux builds again, but that won't happen this year.

Oops, yes you're right, it's the binary not an appImage.

Ok thanks, I'll use the .deb for now then
