Hi all. I hope this is the right place to get some help for the case of being unable to launch the scsynth with:

s.boot

command or,

s = Server.local.boot;

This below is what i see on the messages window, i will appreciate any hint as on where to look to try to understand what is missing or what am i doing wrong. This is with SuperCollider 3.7 with emacs-snapshot and emacs-live under debian.

If i launch a plain instance of sclang from the command-line i can get to connect to jack simply issuing: s.boot

But via the emacs-live package, i can get to my SCLang:Workspace do the sclang-start and sclang-eval-line M-x commands but there's no way for me to get to hear something out on the synth or even see any effect to evaluating the lines, no matter if i launch manually scsynth (since this lines below have no effect):

Hi @alejoduque

Could you possibly read this quickly and reformat your question appropriately:

http://overtone.github.com/emacs-live/doc-reporting-issues.html

It will make it much easier for me to understand your problem and to help me help you find a solution.

hi, surely.. nice page btw.. will read and get as much info as possible. thanks for getting back!

I expect to be able to launch the scsynth from within emacs-live but nothing happens, might be that i'm using unsupported comands or that i need to change paths somewhere? here the locations for both:

~ % whereis scsynth scsynth: /usr/local/bin/scsynth ~ % whereis sclang sclang: /usr/local/bin/sclang

The commands im trying are:

s=Server.local.boot

s.boot (that works ok when i get the sc3> prompt after invoking:

scsynth -u 57110 &

My current version of emacs is: GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.4.2) of 2012-12-17 on dex, modified by Debian 3.6.0-9.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64

Can't figure out how to determine the emacs-live version, but i made a fresh install just yesterday.. so no extra packages or custom tweaks have been done.

lastly this is:: emacs --debug-init

Please let me know where else to look for meaningful info though i have the feeling it has to be simple and perhaps only related to my lack of experience with emacs and sc.

Thanks for the extra information.

How and where are you entering: s=Server.local.boot?

I'm using SCLang:Workspace that comes up after I do C c C w. Step by step:

emacs -sclang

Emacs opens with 2 windows:

SCLang:PostBuf... 685 SCLang (SCLang run) *scratch 827 Lisp Interaction

With the cursor over SCLang:PostBuf. i do C c C w to get to open:

SCLang:Workspace 174 SCLang

There inside i type the commands and then do M x sclang-eval-line or C x C e that brings this error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable s.boot) eval(s.boot nil) eval-last-sexp-1(nil)

[(eval-last-sexp-arg-internal) "\204

I have tried again after doing M x sclang-mode and sclang-start but i see no errors.

hope you can help me figure out what am i doing wrong. many thanks.

Hi @alejoduque, unfortunately I don't use SuperCollider lang these days as all my time goes into Overtone - so I don't currently have a working setup with which to help you with. However, I would like to write a tutorial for people to use to get up and running with SuperCollider and Emacs Live - so I really would like to help you get things working.

I did get it working a couple of years ago and wrote up my (very hacky) process:

http://sam.aaron.name/2010/02/09/hooking-supercollider-up-to-emacs-on-os-x.html

However, there are probably many unnecessary and complicated steps here. I just noticed this:

http://www.gloryisasilentthing.com/glory/supercollider-emacs-scel-and-the-right-way/

which may be more direct and helpful.

After glancing these posts, have you done the following:

Include sclang in your PATH, or add it to the sclang-runtime-directory var?
Add the scel SuperCollider classes to ~/Library/Application\ Support/SuperCollider/Extensions

hi again,

yes i understand the point re overtone, i will certainly head there but wanted to try sc from emacs-live since i have some code from a friend that will like to recycle.

i've seen those posts, mostly OS X related... but i'm using GNU/Linux, debian to be precise. Will read them again and try t make sense of those paths and files.

i will like to document this, since i though emacs-live could be a nice entry way for me people on a similar stage but is far more confusing when things seem to run without failing from start.

thanks and let's hope then my next issue is more on the overtone topic.

Hi @alejoduque,

any help documenting the process of connecting Emacs Live and SuperCollider would be much appreciated!

I trully will like to do it, even include an easy to follow video for the newcomers.. but right now im a bit stuck since all those links google brings i have visited.. will try to cp scel classes to the extensions dir and see what happens..

Hi again,

I've just successfully connected to SuperCollider (version 3.5.3 - I'm yet to try 3.6). I've had to rip out the scel files that were currently in there and replace with the latest files direct from the latest source code. I'll write some docs shortly, but until then here's some brief instructions:

Switch to the dev packs by adding (live-use-dev-packs) to your ~/.emacs-live.el
git pull to the latest Emacs Live source
Copy the files in ~/.emacs.d/packs/dev/lang-pack/lib/scel/supercollider-classes-to-cp to the SuperCollider Extensions directory (on OS X it's in ~/Library/Application\ Support/SuperCollider/Extensions/)
Add sclang to your PATH or add it directly in Emacs via something like: (push "/Applications/SuperCollider/SuperCollider.app/Contents/Resources" exec-path)
Run M-x sclang-start

Just by adding the line:

(live-use-dev-packs) to ~/.emacs-live.el

emacs opens on a classic white with logo style and spits the error:

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/home/alejo/.emacs.d/init.el': File error: Cannot open load file, auto-compile

This is the debug log (i hope is meaningful, i dont want to get your time on this even more if it all boils down to my imcompetence to understand whats the problem)

Ah, sorry, I should have mentioned that the dev packs use git submodules. You need to cd into ~/.emacs.d and run git submodule init and git submodule update. Then the error should go away :-)

All good, past that step, now i read this after opening emacs

File error: Cannot open load file, nrepl

plus the ascii nuke :)

The git pull was done, all up-to-date

This files you suggest to copy are already in my Extensions folder, but inside a dir called scide_scel:

~/.emacs.d (git)-[master] % ls /usr/local/share/SuperCollider/Extensions/scide_scel/ EmacsBuffer.sc Emacs.sc extClassBrowser.sc homeContext.sc storeLispOn.sc EmacsDocument.sc extBuffer.sc extString.sc ScelDocument.sc

-Add sclang to your PATH

~/.emacs.d (git)-[master] % whereis sclang sclang: /usr/local/bin/sclang

-or add it directly in Emacs via something like: (push "/Applications/SuperCollider/SuperCollider.app/Contents/Resources" exec-path)

I did added this to .emacs-live.el: (push "/usr/local/bin/sclang" exec-path)

But right now, since the bomb (nrepl missing) i dont see sclang-start with M-x

staring with: emacs --live-safe-mode

brings me to a usable state where i can load M x sclang-start

but still no joy when i do.

s.boot

how did you hook it up on 3.5.3?

w.r.t. nrepl issues - you just need to to a git submodule update and it should work now. Could you give that a go and try again?

For extra information, the reason why emacs --live-safe-mode booted Emacs Live into a usable state is because it ignores all user configuration and boots into the stable live packs.

As the fixes I've made for SC compatibility are in the dev packs this meant that things would still be broken in safe mode.

All good now!

Many thanks Sam for taking time and effort to fix this even though is a bit Off the Tone :+1:

Now i just wonder what you had to internally fix? which files where broken? As this will certainly help others know how to debug their own installs.

Now time for some noise!

Wonderful news!

Internally, I just updated to the latest scel files. The version that I had forked here http://github.com/samaaron/scel is horribly out of date, and the original repo https://github.com/qdot/scel hasn't been updated in over 2 years. The latest code can be found within the actual SuperCollider source code. I therefore just pulled it out of there.

Out of interest, did you have to copy the files in ~/.emacs.d/packs/dev/lang-pack/lib/scel/supercollider-classes-to-cp anywhere, and if so, where?

Hola,

This are the files in place:

Since the contents of scide_scel/ and sc/ looked like the same(?) i didn't do the cp

and here the ones at the .emacs.d are:

hope this helps.. now before closing this issue, this is my current .emacs-live.el

~ % cat .emacs-live.el (live-use-dev-packs) (push "/usr/local/bin/sclang" exec-path) (desktop-save-mode 1)

Should I continue to use the dev-packs?

Tx!

Yes, please do continue to use the dev packs until I push a new beta.

Is the command (push "/usr/local/bin/sclang" exec-path) required? Could you remove it and see if it breaks.

Not required. No breaks. Issue Resolved. Thanks.
