Can't load InstaLooper VST Plugin: "undefined symbol: timer_settime" #659

Open cmt227 opened 6 years ago

Hi,

When I try to load Audioblast's VST plugin "InstaLooper", Carla gives me a pop up saying "Failed to load plugin: /usr/lib/vst/InstaLooperVST-x64.so: undefined symbol: timer_settime"

This only happens from within the standalone Carla. I'm running up-to-date Arch Linux, with the Carla-git package from the AUR, version 1.9.8 (2.0-beta6), and I've also tried with the same results on the official arch carla package.

Interestingly, I can load the plugin using carla-single native vst /usr/lib/vst/InstaLooperVST-x64.so and it successfully loads the UI and inserts the plugin into my running instance of standalone carla. I can also successfully load the plugin from within ardour, and also from within the LV2 or VST versions of carla loaded within ardour.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

This will be a bug in the plugin. we need to tell InstaLooperVST developers to build the linux version with the -Wl,--no-undefined flag, as to catch undefined symbols like this.
