sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.7 wine1.7-dev
Please note, I'm not Ubuntu user, so maybe someone will correct me. After installation of these dependences, you can use my instruction from this thread to build Airwave.
Hi, thanks for this ... on my Ubuntu i must use: g++-multilib :)

phantom-one: I am seeing the same log output as Strangetown. I did check on my POSIX shared memory mount, but it was already mounted by default. That was a good thing to check though.

I did try your suggestion of removing and re-adding the links with Bitwig running and got more or less the same output. Here is the logging I received from that experiment:

I'm going to make sure I mention that I'm currently using the StudioDave's compiled airwave binary in my system because he's using Fedora as well. I'm on 20, he's on 19, but there shouldn't be enough of a difference there to cause too much trouble. I was having some pretty serious issues compiling airwave myself in Fedora 20.

So you have messages from the airwave-host and this is much better, than nothing ;-). Is there a VirtualBox image with Fedora 20 somewhere? I can try to build Airwave and reproduce your issue or at least I will write build-instruction. I have some assumption about what's going on, but it will be faster and easier to check it myself.

So, I got Fedora 20 VirtualBox image from here and successfully built the Airwave inside. This VM doesn't have audio card enabled, so I didn't test a sound from VST. But everything else seems to work.

mrofo, I think that StudioDave's binaries may not work on Fedora 20. Try to build the Airwave one more time. To do this you should install all dependences and then follow my instruction from this thread:

Code: Select all

yum -y install gcc-c++ git cmake wine wine-devel wine-devel.i686 file file-devel libX11-devel libX11-devel.i686 qt4-devel glibc-devel.i686 glibc-devel
After doing so your build should succeed. And don't forget to recreate all VST links, that you've created before.

Here is the binaries for Fedora 20 x86_64, that I built in VM - link.
If you will use it, do not change an installation path. I specifically made ​the absolute path to the files in the tarball.​ And all required libraries should be installed, of course. So it's better to build it by yourself for checking, that everything in place.

I think this is beyond me.

:cry:

Maybe I should switch to Arch Linux =|
devogenes, Just install wine-devel.i686 (Fedora 20). If it still actual for you ;-).

phantom-one: I must have been missing a package because I was able to build airwave with the yum package list you provided me. I haven't tested the audio yet, but I have the Steven Slate Drums UI open in Bitwig. I'm sure it will work from here. I can't thank you enough! Do you have a link where I can donate some money to you? Your efforts were exceptional!

I'm glad to help you and please don't worry about donations. I do this for fun. :-)

I have enabled shared memory with the fstab entry, I still get the same error messages

Strangetown, I did fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04.1 in VirtualBox and still unable to reproduce your issue.

What I did is:
1. Installed all required packages

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install git cmake gcc-multilib g++multilib libx11-dev libx11-dev:i386 qt4-default libmagic-dev
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.7 wine1.7-dev
2. Downloaded VST SDK 3.6 in home directory: ~/vstsdk360_22_11_2013_build_100.zip
3. Built Airwave

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/phantom-code/airwave.git
cd airwave
unzip ~/vstsdk360_22_11_2013_build_100.zip -d .
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/airwave -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release" -DVSTSDK_PATH="../VST3 SDK"
make
sudo make install
4. Installed u-he Zebra2 VST demo with WINE
5. Created link to Zebra2 with airwave-utility

I hope that this step-by-step instruction will help you.

phantom-one I appreciate the time you've taken to help me out. I followed your instructions above. Still same error messages. Maybe I shall give up for now

Strangetown, thanks to the contribution by James Stone I think I fixed your issue. If you still interested, you can fetch the latest changes from the develop branch by using this command:

Code: Select all

git clone -b develop https://github.com/phantom-code/airwave.git

Phantom-one you are a star! It works :) I can happily report Camel Space and Ohmboyz work with it! Many thanks. :)

Update:

Installed Reveal Sound Spire x64. Plugin loaded and recognised by Bitwig, however plugin crashes on preset change with the following errors:

System information:

    Platform: x86_64
    Host system: Linux

Also installed D16 Phoscyon and Redoptor also both loaded and recognised by Bitwig but the options submenu is not correctly displayed in Phoscyon (this also occurred with the license page with Phoscyon and Redoptor though I managed to (by luck) click on the right place to enter the license file location. Phoscyon was working but doesn't seem to any more after the Spire crash. I really appreciate all your efforts phantom-one and am more than happy to provide any more info you request. I'd really like to see this amazing bit of software running smoothly. One last thing I have disabled the enable tmpfs line in /etc/fstab as it doesn't seem to be needed :)

Strangetown, glad to hear this, but actually I only have implemented James Stone's suggestion. ;-)
About your crash report: I have similar issues with several vst's, I will try to fix them, seems like it is my mistake somewhere.
