VST SDK path #92

Open Taikakim opened 6 years ago

Taikakim commented 6 years ago

OK, really basic problem, the compiler commands don't find the SDK. I installed it in ~/VST3/SDK (where resides VST_SDK folder that came from Steinberg's zip)

When I try: cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/airwave -DVSTSDK_PATH=${HOME}/VST3/SDK ..

I get the "VST SDK is not found" error.

I tried moving the contents of VST_SDK one level down to ~/VST3/SDK, but that did not help.

Also in the installation instructions there is line to install wine1.7-dev, but I have wine-rt from the KX Studio repositories installed. I installed wine-rt-dev instead.

Taikakim commented 6 years ago

I found the mistake: Steinberg has changed the directory structure.

You need to copy the two directories under the VST2 sub-directory to the directory where the VSTSDK_PATH is set. So one level down, basically.

Taikakim commented 6 years ago

But installation went somewhere strange, I got: Install the project... -- Install configuration: "Release" -- Installing: /downloads/airwave-master/bin/airwave-plugin.so -- Installing: /downloads/airwave-master/bin/airwave-host-64.exe -- Installing: /downloads/airwave-master/bin/airwave-host-64.exe.so -- Installing: /downloads/airwave-master/bin/airwave-host-32.exe -- Installing: /downloads/airwave-master/bin/airwave-host-32.exe.so -- Installing: /downloads/airwave-master/bin/airwave-manager -- Installing: /downloads/airwave-master/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/airwave-manager.png -- Installing: /downloads/airwave-master/share/applications/airwave-manager.desktop

That is the root directory of my system where those directories where created. Now I'm not sure where to copy all that. To /usr/bin? How about the .so plugins?

ProdByJuliot commented 6 years ago

So, for creating the VST/SDK directory in the first place, can you just manually make a folder, or is there a terminal process needed? I'm kind of a noob when it comes to manually installing programs on linux.

So, could I just make a new folder in home and name it VST/SDK? Then, extract the Steinberg tools, and take them out of the main folder?

Ok, I got it... The folder needed to be named VST3 SDK in your home folder... If I could just read what the error tells me geez.

Taikakim commented 6 years ago

Hmm I can't compile. When I make, I get until some point when I get this error: ld: Relocatable linking with relocations from format elf64-x86-64 (/opt/wine-devel/lib64/wine/libwinecrt0.a(exe_entry.o)) to format elf32-i386 (airwave-host-32.WqklSw.o) is not supported

I have Wine-dev installed from WineHQ

tosho commented 5 years ago

do I need the SDK if I've installed airwave with .deb ?

seanjean3000 commented 5 years ago

I've tried dozens of different paths and also moving folders around in the SDK from Steinberg, but no matter what I do I keep getting an error message that the SDK cannot be found or that the specified directory doesn't contain CMakeLists.txt (which I plainly see is there). Can any kind soul help me get this sorted?

gordol commented 5 years ago

the SDK only is needed to build airwave.

using the archive.org link i sent above, you can follow the original instructions from the repo README.

if you don't put the SDK in the path specified, then you need to change the path to point to the SDK.

you MUST download the old SDK that I linked above, or you cannot build, as steinberg moved files around. the new SDK is not compatible with the old one.

seanjean3000 commented 5 years ago

Hey thanks. Still no dice; downloaded the archived version of the SDK and tried putting it in all sorts of different places / changing the path, but nothing. Still getting an error that the SDK can't be found. Probably just making some basic mistake but I give up.

Hello together,

I had the same error when installing via cmake:

When I try: cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/airwave -DVSTSDK_PATH=${HOME}/VST3_SDK ..

I get the "VST SDK is not found" error.

What worked for me was using the SDK from gordols archive.

https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://download.steinberg.net/sdk_downloads/vstsdk369_01_03_2018_build_132.zip

Also I had to point to the VST2_SDK directory! Like this:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/me/opt/airwave -DVSTSDK_PATH=/home/me/Downloads/VST_SDK/VST2_SDK ..

But know I'm getting the an error doing the make:

[ 20%] Building CXX object src/host/CMakeFiles/airwave-host-32.dir/__/common/dataport.cpp.o In file included from /usr/include/c++/8/ext/string_conversions.h:41, from /usr/include/c++/8/bits/basic_string.h:6400, from /usr/include/c++/8/string:52, from /usr/include/c++/8/stdexcept:39, from /usr/include/c++/8/array:39, from /usr/include/c++/8/tuple:39, from /usr/include/c++/8/bits/unique_ptr.h:37, from /usr/include/c++/8/memory:80, from /home/viktor/Downloads/airwave/src/common/types.h:6, from /home/viktor/Downloads/airwave/src/common/dataport.h:5, from /home/viktor/Downloads/airwave/src/common/dataport.cpp:1:

Someone any idea, how to solve this one?

I'm sitting on a Fedora 29 machine.

gordol commented 5 years ago

@vixl152 have you installed the libc-dev packages?

vixl152 commented 5 years ago

Yes I have. Did the yum install like in the install instructions:

sudo yum -y install gcc-c++ git cmake wine wine-devel wine-devel.i686 file file-devel libX11-devel libX11-devel.i686 qt5-devel glibc-devel.i686 glibc-devel

Here on my machine:

[vixl152@fedora build]$ rpm -qa|grep glibc-devel

glibc-devel-2.28-26.fc29.x86_64
glibc-devel-2.28-26.fc29.i686
mihahauke commented 5 years ago

@seanjean3000 I don't think that you are doing anything wrong. Cmake requires aeffect.h and aeffectx.h which are not in the new SDK cause fuck legacy code and VST 2. It looks like some parts of code need to be rewriten cause 5 minute code substitutions I made weren't enough and caused furter errors.

I might be wrong, I'm not much into C/C++. Perhaps it's just about imports but perhaps not . . . sad face, sad face, wink wink

seanjean3000 commented 5 years ago

Thanks for the follow up Michał--nice to have some confirmation that it wasn't just me. Too bad it appears to be broken, but I've had some luck with alternatives in the meantime.

y'all, using the archive.org link to grab the old SDK works fine.

for vst3, native linux is supported, almost globally across every VST that I've tried.

If you did solve the problem, can you please share?

gordol commented 5 years ago

you need the libc dev packages. some distros package them in a wrapper called build-essential, but it may be called libc-dev or libc6-dev.

Frenkfil commented 4 years ago

For new SDK package change in CMakeLists.txt to this:


 find_path(VSTSDK_INCLUDE_DIR NAMES audioeffect.h audioeffectx.h
        PATHS "${VSTSDK_PATH}/VST2_SDK/public.sdk/source/vst2.x")

if(NOT VSTSDK_INCLUDE_DIR)
        message(FATAL_ERROR "VST SDK is not found. You should set the VSTSDK_PATH variable "
                        "to the directory, where your copy of the VST SDK is located.")
endif()
``` EDIT: ....  but it fails then when make compile. Too many errors :(
QkiZMR commented 4 years ago

Compiling with the newest version of SDK is unsuccessful. Can someone share a link to last working version of SDK?

ndri commented 4 years ago

The SDK from https://web.archive.org/web/20180201000000*/https://download.steinberg.net/sdk_downloads/vstsdk369_01_03_2018_build_132.zip still works. Just get the one from 2018, not 2020.

QkiZMR commented 4 years ago

Sometimes works but transfer is interrupted by server. After 6 or 7 trials I downloaded file.

ljleb commented 4 years ago

Right now, the link seems dead. Is there any other way to get a 2018 release? Or should we update the code to use the new VST SDK 3?

ndri commented 4 years ago

I still have the zip and have uploaded it to Drive for you: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15sOCzi7TB63YRdYTOK7rGv2KPQ4wXT9C/view?usp=sharing

alexxmed commented 4 years ago

I have tried all of these suggestions, and frankly, things are a mess now. I wonder if anyone can provide a simple 1, 2, 3 type guide that actually works. For example, by "Go to the airwave source directory and execute the following commands:" do you mean: cd airwave/src or cd airwave Should airwave be extracted from within VST_SDK or side by side with it so that both VST_SDK and airwave are under the home directory (~/VST_SDK and ~/airwave)? Why does it not seem to matter where I put things, I still get the error that "VST SDK is not found" . So close and yet, no-where.

NARFNra commented 3 years ago

I ran into this error while trying to compile. I fixed it by downloading the legacy version of VST_SDK from ndri's reply.

After that, I checked the cmake file for airwave. It's looking for this specific directory.

find_path(VSTSDK_INCLUDE_DIR NAMES aeffect.h aeffectx.h PATHS "${VSTSDK_PATH}/pluginterfaces/vst2.x/")

I searched and pluginterfaces/vst2.x is directly under VST2_SDK in the unpacked folder, so the location you need to point to for airwave to build is...

-DVSTSDK_PATH=[Wherever-You-Extracted-It-To]/VST_SDK/VST2_SDK

After I did this, simply running the cmake line pointing at the location of airwave's cmake worked.

Unfortunately, I later ran into a separate error involving my wine version, but I believe that it's unrelated to this problem.
