Could not find module 'Sound.Tidal.Context' #32

Closed tjex closed 2 years ago

tjex commented 2 years ago

After installing everything via the curl install script on the TidalCycles website and installing the VS code extension, I get this error when trying to evaluate a line:

GHCi, version 8.10.7: https://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Prelude> Prelude> Warning: GHCi | Warning: GHCi | : error: Warning: GHCi | Could not find module ‘Sound.Tidal.Context’ Warning: GHCi | It is not a module in the current program, or in any known package.

I also get this warning: Configured GHCI path was not found: ghci

I know I may well need to input the location in my PATH, but I can't find any direction on where to find the ghci file. I've tried setting in vs code json settings: "tidalcycles.ghciPath" : "ghci" but it didnt work.

Any help would be great.

Hi @tillmanjex, it seems your editor is configured fine, and haskell is loading, but somehow the tidal library itself is missing. You can install it from a commandline in a terminal window with these commands:

cabal v1-update
cabal v1-install tidal

Hi @yaxu . So the builds are failing for some reason. I've attached a txt file with the full terminal output. It didnt actually like v1-update and suggested I tried v2-update which I did. It did however accept both v1* and v2-install tidal but both resulted in build errors.

Looks like a lot about an LLVM version not being found.

installing llvm via homebrew now (not sure if it was included in the main install...) and will try again then report back

tjex commented 2 years ago

no luck @yaxu . still getting the same errors that LLVM cannot be found.

It is however in my $PATH. I've tried /usr/local/opt/llvm@13 and /usr/local/opt/llvm , both to no avail...

I'm on an Apple Silicon machine for reference.

I'm not a mac user so can't help too much. Have a search on the forum for llvm, maybe a few fellow travellers might have the same issue there: https://club.tidalcycles.org/

fixed it and made a post for others if needed. It came down to mac not seeing the native llvm install as well as clang compilation problems, that I think stemmed from an clang target / architecture missmatch. https://club.tidalcycles.org/t/apple-silicon-llvm-clang-installation-issues-fix/4018
