I set myself to building the three sets of faust-to-pd examples from faust2pd, faust itself and pd-faust.

This only the second time I ever tried to compile anything and I think they built ok with one warning:

"#warning *** puredata.cpp: NO SSE FLAG (denormals may slow things down) *** "

and some giving the following error

"fatal error: stklib.h: No such file or directory"

I ran a script on each folder performing the following to each dsp:

faust -a puredata.cpp "$dsp" -o "$base/$FILEBASE".cpp

g++ -shared -Dmydsp="$FILEBASE" "$base/$FILEBASE".cpp -o "$base/$FILEBASE".pd_linux

I compiled them then put them in the following folders (linux)

/root/pd-externals/faust2pd
/root/pd-externals/faust-faust2
/root/pd-externals/pd-faust

I added each of those paths to the preferences and yet the example patches do not load the objects in the Help Browser or in a new file and I get this type of error:

load_object: Symbol "blowBottle_setup" not found
blowBottle
... couldn't create

I would love to make this happen, seems like a worthy cause. And I want to build them as I think it would be preferred than having to add Pure to use the other type of plugins accessing faust. (Applying "less is more".

fausttopd_external_collection_broken_v0.1.zip

Look forward to your answer.

Thanks for your help.

The zip below has the libraries each, in their own folder, plus the example patches that came with each framework, which is how I would distribute it.

Peace

p.s. I'll just keep telling myself: "We'll get thru this. Together."

are they being compiled for the same bit depth as your pd version? ( i don't really know what I'm talking about here, just a shot in the dark)

@seb-harmonik.ar

The bit depth was correct (I think. I used 32).

It looks like what might have caused my problem is:
whether the compiled version, i.e. the .pd_linux file, takes a ~ in its name or not is set inside the .cpp file.

When I set them all to add the tilde they work, sort of (sort of meaning: I have not yet figured out how to produce the demo pd files and in the case of instruments, which do not have tildes, adding it automatically does not work.

Am thinking I can grep (then sed) that line to determine if the output should or should not have the tilde.

Thanks, for getting back with me: encouraging to know this might be of benefit. Later when I'm on my laptop I'll share the shell script (it used find to compile all the DSPs in the folder to cpps (via Faust) then g++ to turn each one into a binary.

Have since learned, I need to do it in two passes: use Faust to make all the cpps, then g++ to compile all the cpps, because in some cases there are cpps without DSPs. (funny, sortta rhymes 😃).

peace and thanks for helping out, I will keep your thought in mind whenever I go to compile anything.

My friends, while this was a worm-hole that I Am glad I went down, I must let it go for my own peace of mind.

I am posting below the shell script I used to convert the faust files, but it is just too far away from what i Really want to do to continue.

Peace, good cheer to you, and may I get back on to making music again.
