Compiler Error: raveloxmidi_socket_t has no member named 'handle'

[TSRBerry]

Hello,

I just tried to compile the latest release of pimidi on my raspberry pi and ran into this compiler error.

I am not sure if that's a problem on my side, but since other people are able to compile it correctly it seems like it. But I can't figure out how to make it work.

This error happened within net_socket.c in line 145, so I tried to comment this line out as it seemed to be one of the last steps to disconnect from another socket. Although it did compile after that I was not able to create a socket when starting pimidi.

This error happens to me even if I try to compile the master branch instead.

Please tell me if you need more information or anything else that could help in order to solve this problem.

Thanks, Julian

I suspect this is a combination of a couple of things. Firstly, the handle member of the raveloxmidi_socket_t structure is only present when alsa has been detected. Secondly, the code that's erroring isn't checking that alsa has been detected and it should do.

I can fix up the second issue but, it's possible you don't have alsa installed. You can confirm this in the configure script:

./configure | grep -i asound checking for snd_rawmidi_open in -lasound... yes

Oh okay, so this completely different from what I thought this issue was about. Thanks for explaining this to me.

I am currently restoring the old image of my pi to confirm this and will comment again when my pi is running.

Thanks for acting so quick, I did not expect that!

Yup! You are right, it does not detect alsa. The second time I ran configure it pointed me to your required file so I was able to see that I was really missing libasound2-dev. And make completes without any errors now. So this was a really dumb mistake not to check if I had everything installed for pimidi, sorry.

Now that everything is working again, I will close this issue. Thank you!
