Linux min version ?

[jyg]

Hi, Thanks for this awesome project ! I cannot load the VST plugin / standalone version on my linux system Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS Is there a required minimal OS version ?

I don't think there is a minimum requirement option for Linux, so that's probably not the issue. Did you build it yourself or use the prebuilt version? I'll install Ubuntu 18.04 in a VM and test it out.

I'm planning to make a new release tonight and send it over to some people to make sure it works for everyone, would you be interested in trying it?

I thought this could be the issue because it was the case once with camomile earlier versions. See following discussion: https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile/issues/222#issuecomment-832110718

No, I used the prebuilt version. However, I have to further investigate.

Yes, of course. thanks.

Oh that's the same issue for sure, thanks for sharing! I do wonder how Camomile handles this currently, in the thread it says

"PS Does this mean that we may have to distribute 2 plugin versions, according to linux OS version ? Yes, because Ubuntu 20 and 18 are not compatible..."

But I only see one Linux plugin in the last Camomile release?

running PlugData standalone from command line, I get : ./PlugData: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version "GLIBC_2.29" not found (required by ./PlugData)

A suggestion here : compile glibc into static binary https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67721426/how-to-launch-in-ubuntu-18-a-program-built-in-ubuntu-20

Thanks, that's a great solution I hadn't considered yet

I did read here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46809303/how-to-static-linking-to-glibc-in-cmake

that there are some caveats to this method when running it on different distros. I might still statically link it, because right now I have no clue if the binaries would work on other distros anyways. Besides, most non-Ubuntu linux users can probably handle a simple cmake build.

However, I see two linux targets (ubuntu-18_04-build and ubuntu-20_04-build) in the file https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile/blob/dev/v1.0.8/.github/workflows/cmake.yml But this is beyond my skills :-)

I noticed this as well which is why I copied Camomile's GitHub action. You should be able to download the build for 18.04 here:

I just pushed this so I'm going to test it myself right now.

Hmm I'm not sure you can access these! Just a sec..

[timothyschoen]

Build for Ubuntu 18.04, if this works for you I'll include it in the next release
