How to add guitarix plugins

[buscon]

hi,

I tried to add the guitarix plugins with the following step:

1. adding an extra install_mod-gx.sh cd $ZYNTHIAN_PLUGINS_SRC_DIR git clone https://github.com/brummer10/guitarix cd guitarix/trunk/ ./waf configure --lv2dir=$ZYNTHIAN_PLUGINS_DIR/lv2 ./waf build ./waf -j1 install ./waf clean cd ..

2. in the Docker file I added these lines before postinstall_mod-lv2-data.sh

COPY ./install_mod-gx.sh /home/moduser/install_mod-gx.sh RUN /home/moduser/install_mod-gx.sh

but when I run the docker (from scratch), no guitarix plugins appear in the mod-ui. any suggestion on how to do that?

[guysoft]

Can you provide by any chance a full `Dockerfile`` and install_mod-gx.sh so I can build and test? I can't really reproduce otherwise.

[buscon]

sure, here are the two files

mod-ui-docker-guitarix.tar.gz

[buscon]

hi,

did you have any luck in reproducing the issue?

[guysoft]

Hey, started and had other things this week. I can try tomorrow or start of next week.

[buscon]

great, thanks a lot!

[guysoft]

You have two issues which show you are not actually building, please take a close look at the script next time.

1. moduser@a5fcbefcb6a6:~/src-mod-plugins/guitarix/trunk$ ./waf configure --lv2dir=$ZYNTHIAN_PLUGINS_DIR/lv2
   Setting top to                           : /home/moduser/src-mod-plugins/guitarix/trunk 
   Setting out to                           : /home/moduser/src-mod-plugins/guitarix/trunk/build 
   Checking for program 'msgfmt'            : not found 
   Could not find the program ['msgfmt']
   (complete log in /home/moduser/src-mod-plugins/guitarix/trunk/build/config.log)

You also get after fixing it:

Checking for program 'intltool-merge'    : not found 
Checking for 'sndfile'                   : not found 
Checking for 'libcurl'                   : not found
Checking for font RobotoCondensed        : not found 
Checking for program 'sassc'             : not found

And many many more

You are missing the build deps

fix is to add (And I hope I got them all):

ARG DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
    intltool \
    gettext \
    libsndfile1-dev \
    libglibmm-2.4-dev \
    libfftw3-dev \
    libcurl4-openssl-dev \
    sassc \
    fonts-roboto \
    libgtk-3-dev \
    gtkmm-3.0-dev \
    ladspa-sdk \
    liblrdf0-dev \
    libboost-system-dev \
    libboost-iostreams-dev \
    libzita-convolver-dev \
    libzita-resampler-dev \
    gperf \
    faust \
    avahi-gobject \
    bluez \
    liblo-dev 
    libeigen3-dev \
  && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* \
  && apt -qyy clean

Only then run the configure

2. The install command of guitarix is using update-desktop-database which does not exist, bypass with:

RUN echo '#!/bin/bash' > /usr/bin/update-desktop-database
RUN chmod 777 /usr/bin/update-desktop-database

Also, please post a decent fork of what you are doing. It not straightforward to download clone this repo and then extract over it the zip. Also a build log would have captured this sooner.

The graphics of the pedals is also not there:

[buscon]

thanks for your feedback!

I did a fork of your repo and added the edits you suggested here but it did not work. Can you have a look at my fork and tell me what it is missing or wrong? https://github.com/buscon/mod-ui-docker

Thanks!

[guysoft]

Yes , you pasted the docker commands in the bash script and not in to the Dockerfile.

Please read: https://linuxhint.com/understand_dockerfile/

[buscon]

ok, thanks, I got confused. Now I put the commands in the Dockerfile, still guitarix does not show up. can you have a look?

[guysoft]

Please post your full build log.

[buscon]

ok, do you mean this?

Dude, you are not even building it. You need to use docker-compose-build.yml

sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose-build.yml build

That log.

Then run it with sudo docker-compose -f docker-compose-build.yml up -d.

It sees you never actually did any docker-compose builds. I can help you so much. Other than that you will need to use guides to understand how to use it. Since I can't support understanding how to use docker.

[buscon]

ok, thanks for the explanation I installed docker-compose, now I understand what you meant with build.

I now get two errors, both seem to be related to permissions. I am on linux mint. I did run the composer as sudo, but I guess the docker user does not have the permission to do that? or why do I get such errors?

thanks!

[guysoft]

You are running the commands as user and not as root. They are failing due to no write permissions. Read about the docker user command

[buscon]

I read about it, am I supposed to use the commands as root?

[guysoft]

You are using a container system to compile, build and ship software. It has its own scripting language and you are asking me basic questions how to operate it. Moreover you don't actually understand how it actually works, how it managers users and when I provide a detailed solution you have no idea how to actually use it.

If you know docker, this comment should be all the information you need to add guitarix pedals to the project: https://github.com/guysoft/mod-ui-docker/issues/3#issuecomment-653927209

I really try to help you out, and it took me about an hour to compile the solution above and resolve all the required dependencies for guitarix. I would like to help, but without you knowing how to use docker, which is basically on what this repo is based on, I can't also explain you how it works. If you lack the knowledge either go and learn it or pay someone to do it.

[buscon]

ok, no problem, I will look into docker and try to understand your suggestions. I tried to install the needed software as root (inside docker), though some packages cannot be found.

[guysoft]

Ok, waiting here, take your time to understand how it works.
