Missing FLPanel

[georgefst]

I'm trying to run the pedalboard example, but I've hit the issue from #13 (Unexpected untyped word FLpanel when expecting a variable). Unfortunately, I'm on Arch and there's no csound-gui package (although even the apt one seems like it may no longer do what's needed).

I'll have to investigate with the csound maintainers and Arch packagers to see what's going on here.

See csound/csound#907.

Thanks to mention that as I've switched to Manjaro recently. Now I've also discovered that fltk GUI does not work. Which is a pity... I've asked on Csound forum for help. Maybe other Arch/manjaro users can reach out and help us with that.

Thanks! Could you post a link to that? I'd like to follow, but couldn't find it.

They reply that it was moved to another repo and probably should be built from sources. Or maybe there is Arch project for csound-plugins

The repo is here: https://github.com/csound/plugins

As I mentioned in https://github.com/csound/csound/issues/907#issuecomment-1010446003, there's no Arch csound-plugins package, even though weirdly there's evidence that one may once have existed.

And I had difficulty with building from source, although I may look in to it further. Have you tried?

Ok I could install it from sources. Here is the instruction for it:

• install fltk package

• Find out your csound installation path:

> whereis csound
csound: /usr/local/bin/csound /usr/local/lib/csound /usr/include/csound

For me the path prefix is /usr/local/lib

• clone plugins repo. Make sure that you are on latest develop branch

• Follow instructions on their installation guide but also make sure to setup the flags CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and USE_LIB64 on cmake. For me it looks:

  cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DUSE_LIB64=0 ../

• After sudo make install we can check that it was installed alright by command:

  > csound -z1 2>&1 | grep FLpanel

  It should produce output.

For me problem was that I used it on master branch and master branch has a bug in installation copy path.

Thank you! That'll tide me over until it's properly packaged again.

PS. This library is awesome! And, in case you've never tried it, the visual stuff (e.g. the virtual pedalboard example) works beautifully with a touch screen.

Thanks for kind words, I happy to know!
