Indeed. The others are not using the util package of libxcb.

Both Fedora 27 and Centos 7.4 have:

Name : xcb-util
Arch : x86_64
Version : 0.4.0

and neither OS's work...

Thanks mevla for confirming this.

So I guess I have to find a way to get the version 0.4 of the package somewhere.

@ David: But you can load the Plugin in your Daw?
You wrote before that you can load the plugin but its blank?

My Daw (Bitwig) does not recognizes the plugin.

If you do not mind compiling ...

https://xcb.freedesktop.org/

Although they do not mention the util part.

Perhaps better (still in the DIY category)

Some time has gone since I last compiled kernels

This library is from x window system. I guess I can mess something up. This one seems important.

This is far away from the kernel. and is not part per se of the windowing system. It's a C bridge of some sort that seemingly exposes more X stuff to the outside. The LFS compile instructions are:

./configure $XORG_CONFIG &&
make
make install

Although you're right, if one does not feel right about doing something, better to not do it. The principle is valid for working with table and circular saws ... and for software

Maybe it is easier to install a modern distribution?

Hence I proposed earlier if some would like to try with Linux Mint 18 (KDE version - dual boot). Heck, it would even be interesting if someone would try with Linux Mint 18 and not the KDE version. It might be KDE that brings in xcb-util.

My Daw (Bitwig) does not recognizes the plugin.

On Fedora 27 and Reaper, Repro-5 can be selected and loaded, but there is no GUI, it is totally empty.

On Centos 7.4 it does not show up at all.

I can confirm that sadly the last versions and not usable in my touch-screen support due to input lag. [In several DAW and configs]

The good news is that the first beta works very very well!

Unfortunately the 6821 build appears just like the 6820 build for me.
Which means it doesn't appear at all.
Not in Qtractor, not in Carla (the 2 hosts I normally use). Doesn't show up in the plugin lists.
This is on my Debian 9 system.
Luckily, the 6640 build still runs flawlessly.

Thanks so much for your effort, I wish you the best of luck for solving this.

Thank you for your feedback guys.
I'm not super hot for making a statically linked plugin because all those weird dual licensed libs.... it is difficult to know what you can link in and what you can't.

abique · Post by **abique** » Fri Dec 22, 2017 11:02 am

I've checked xcb-util on my system.
It was built in Thu 16 Oct 2014 09:18:23 PM CEST
So this version is more that 3 years old, and likely very stable. So if your system is too old it is your problem not mine

I personally think that would be the best solution.
To make people install the latest operating system available to make a plugin load and show a GUI seems to me a wrong approach.

I can understand that my kxstudio 14.04 doesn't work due to gcc ABI/API but this way to almost require people to use a specific distro and a specific version instead of making the plugin less picky is unfortunate.

I can run everything U-he, Pianoteq very latest stuff and have no issues at all except the new Repro stuff. I guess the next Zebra2 and 3 will put even more requirements to make the plugin even launch.

Please reconsider statically linked libs (just like Ardour and other devs solve this problem in a really nice way)
