Failed compilation - Debian 12

[JRSV]

Hello

I am having an issue compiling plugdata with the following instructions

git clone --recursive https://github.com/plugdata-team/plugdata.git
cd plugdata
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build .

I get the following error and I have no idea what is going on.

---

CMake Error at Libraries/CMakeLists.txt:397 (add_library):

CMake Error at Libraries/CMakeLists.txt:398 (add_library):

any ideas?

I'm pretty sure @timothyschoen forgot to push a file on the latest commit of the pd-lua fork.
Which is also why the latest CI builds are failing.

You'll have to move to an earlier commit if you want to build from develop branch.

[JRSV]

how do I do that?? if you dont mind me asking, or when is this going to be fixed?

[dromer]

If you don't know how to do this then you shouldn't be building the development branch :)

If you just want to try the latest nightly builds you can go here: https://plugdata.org/download.html

[JRSV]

I am doing this because of this issue #1391 (comment)
even though I updated my system, plugdata is behaving unstable, so I want to compile it myself.

cheers

The current builds are for Debian 12, so if you find some specific instabilities it's better to report those so they can be fixed.

[timothyschoen]

Hi, I accidentally broke the builds. I think they should be fine again now?

[dromer]

@timothyschoen Libraries/CmakeLists.txt is still looking for pdlua_multi_instance.cpp

Sure... but that does not mean I cannot try to first look for a stable option for my system and for my work. I see no harm in trying to compile myself even if I do not know how to git download another version of the repo. If you are not willing to provide the information I need that is fine, but I will still press on with this issue and hope for an answer from another contributor.

thanks @timothyschoen, I will try it out again today and hope its fixed.

cheers

Latest develop should build again.

[JRSV]

Builds with no issue, but I am getting segmentation faults still... could it be pipewire? anyway, I will close this ticket as its related to building.

[dromer]

I am getting segmentation faults

Create a debug build, run with gdb. Then post stacktrace in a ticket.

with what command? I tried
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug

[dromer]

@JRSV you can only create one build type. set the one you want.
