Error when compiling modules for VCV2

Development
1

Hey :slight_smile:

I’ve made a couple of basic modules in VCV 1 and I am trying to compile them for VCV 2.

But I am getting this error for the first module:

c++  -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++   -fPIC -I/Volumes/Jaffa/VCV/VCV2/Rack-SDK/include -I/Volumes/Jaffa/VCV/VCV2/Rack-SDK/dep/include -MMD -MP -g -O3 -march=nehalem -funsafe-math-optimizations -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -DARCH_MAC -mmacosx-version-min=10.9  -c -o build/src/ADSR.cpp.o src/ADSR.cpp
In file included from src/ADSR.cpp:1:

                                 ~~~~~^

make: *** [build/src/ADSR.cpp.o] Error 1

Did mm2px change name or something? Is there an easy way to fix this error?

Thanks!

Sure is - remove app::

Thanks @pgatt now it actually builds :slight_smile:

After I build my modules I put them in plugin folder in Rack2, but when I open Rack2 and right click to get the module browser, Rack2 crashes right away.

After trying to build it again I realise it builds, but there might still be a few error I need to fix.

I did a new make install and this is what I get in terminal:

rm -rf dist
mkdir -p dist/Jaffasplaffa
cp plugin.dylib dist/Jaffasplaffa/
strip -S dist/Jaffasplaffa/plugin.dylib
install_name_tool -change libRack.dylib /tmp/Rack2/libRack.dylib dist/Jaffasplaffa/plugin.dylib
otool -L dist/Jaffasplaffa/plugin.dylib
dist/Jaffasplaffa/plugin.dylib:

cd dist && tar -c Jaffasplaffa | zstd -19 -o "Jaffasplaffa"-"2.0.0"-mac.vcvplugin

make: *** [dist] Error 127

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

As this says, you don’t have zstd installed. It is a new dependency since V2.

5

That being said, the browser crashing is another issue, probably related to accesing a null module pointer in a widget.

6

@ unlessgames

Ah yes. I followed the instructions, first I got Rack2 SDK, AFAIK that’s all I need, that zstd should be a part of the Rack2 SDK, right?.

Then I do: export RACK_DIR=/path/to/Rack-SDK make clean make install

7

You need to setup your development environment. You might have done this for V1 and forgot to update it for V2 (which added zstd to compress patches/plugins I suppose, which is why the install failed).

8

No, the SDK contains Rack code, it doesn’t contain the compiler and all other third party tools needed.

9

Yeah I think you are right, I didn’t setup the dev environment correctly.

Sorry.

It has been a long while since I made the first modules, I am a bit rusty, hehe :wink:

I’ll try this and see if it help, should do it I hope:

brew install git wget cmake autoconf automake libtool jq python zstd```
10

make clean often gets missed, and especially when converting code from v1 to v2 can cause issues too

11

Yes, seems to build with no errors now :slight_smile:

I can now open the browser and select other brands, but when I select my own brand it crashes Rack2. I guess I am getting closer, but still needs a bit more tweaking, just not sure what to do here.

Is there anyway to find out what actually causes the crash?

12

Yes. log.txt should give you a fair idea. If you want to send a link to the repo I’m happy to try and build and test here too.

13

Thanks!

ATM I don’t have it on Github, just on a local disc. Not really sure how to use Github for projects like this, I mostly just use it for some Pure Data ptches and stuff like that.

Here is the log.txt:

There seem to be a fatal error with the Segment7Standard.tff. This is just something I used from AS modules, I think it was, it used to work fine.

EDIT:

Ahhh Sorted it out now, the Segment7Standard.tff was in a wrong folder.

Okay well then feel free to send me a zip if you like.

In this case I think this is a load font error:

https://vcvrack.com/manual/Migrate2

From there:

2) Potential runtime bugs

You might encounter these issues while testing.

2.1) Don’t store Font and Image references across multiple frames

The DAW plugin version of Rack uses a different OpenGL context each time the plugin editor window is closed and reopened. This means that if you load and store a Font or Image in a widget’s constructor with font = APP->window->loadFont(...) or image = APP->window->loadImage(...), its OpenGL reference will be invalid if the window is reopened later.

Instead, save only its path, and fetch the font/image each frame in draw(). Example:

void draw(const DrawArgs& args) override {
	std::shared_ptr<Font> font = APP->window->loadFont(fontPath);
	if (font) {
		nvgFontFaceId(args.vg, font->handle);
		...
	}
}

loadFont() and loadImage() caches the font/image by its path, so this operation can be efficiently called in draw() every frame.

Oh, okay, didn’t know that. I do have plans to use it in a DAW, so need to update that in some way.

16

I just copied the modules to my new Macbook M1. I had to manually allow the plugins to work, but that’s okay for now, I’ll sort that out later.

Most plugins if not all had to make this change. It’s a fairly easy one. In most cases you’re just editing a few characters nad moving a couple of lines of code to a different method. If you look at most people’s early V2 builds there will be those kinds of changes. If you get stuck let me know.

just pointing the fact that just the LOAD of the FONT in a module CONSTRUCTOR, CRASHes RACK (and the HOST)

no need for the STORE operation…

Thanks to everyone for the inputs. At least it’s working now.

Haven’t done coding in a while so have to get into it a bit again. Some of the above suggestions is a bit over my head, I think. But yeah I’ll do some work and get back into it again and see where it goes.

@ pgatt

I don’t understand what you are saying fully, but I guess it’s something I have to deal with at some point, when I get the vst.

I might take you up on your offer. What I have is a bit of a mess currently, so I am a bit embarrassed to share it yet, hehe :slight_smile:

There are so many things I need to update and fix, for example I am not really doing anything in voltages just clean floats, I guess I have to look into that if I want to use my modules with other peoples vcv modules.

But year, winter is here and Covid is back, so not much else to do atm, so I’ll put a bit of time in learning some more coding.
