How to compile from source on Linux/Gentoo

[muadib25]

Hello!

Since ZynAddSubFX from the ebuilds is producing a bug that does not allow for Intrument loading, I decided to compile it from source. However, going to 'src/' directory and typing 'make' did not produce any executable, or so it seems to me. Looking on the net I found no relevant documentation about building Zyn.

How does one proceed?


Thanks in Advance,

Going into src/ and running 'make' (assuming no compile error) should produce the executable 'zynaddsubfx' in the same folder.
I would make sure that you have the dependencies installed (fltk 1.x, fftw 3.x, zlib, mxml, dev headers for some audio system).

If the makefile system is just not working, then I would try the cmake system, there are brief instructions on how to use it in doc/building.txt .

Oops, I hadn't seen the 'doc/' dir, my bad.

Btw, Here's the output of 'make':

I can't seem to find any executable, unfortunately. 'ls' outputs this:

Is there anything I do wrong?

> g++ -shared -o zynaddsubfx.so */*.o *.o -lm -lmxml -lz -lfftw3 -lpthread
Well, there is your problem.
It looks like your output is a dssi plugin (.so).
I would check through Makefile.inc and make sure that it is set to build the standalone and not the plugin.

Yes you are right! It compiled now!
And the instruments can also change! Thank you Fundamental!

Heading on to make some music!
