KVR Audio

Win 7 x64 SP1 here. I've tried installing with the most recent binary (after seemingly installing just fine, creates a Faust folder with Uninstall and nothing else), and I've tried building it from source, after making sure I had installed the listed dependencies, and I'm getting missing file or flat-out code errors, that, after putting on my detective hat, surprisingly aren't the result of anything egregiously dumb or forgetful on my part...

Love the concept behind FAUST as a language- but, for myself, in order to actually accomplish anything worth waving a mouse at, it's best to toss whatever I think I know, and begin at the beginning- and for me, that means "Let's see if you can manage to get a mistake-free HelloWorld on my system and take it from there", their snazzy browser-based environment showcase aside.

Any and all help much appreciated.

TODO: say something about the fact that faust2 scripts only works on the Mac and Linux

Well well... Maybe try a VM with linux then.

yes.

have integrated faust in iPlug2, and whilst it's not yet working that smoothly on windows, I have been able to e.g. use faust.exe to compile a .dsp to .cpp

a lot of faust developent these days is around web audio stuff, e.g. this nice IDE: http://faust.grame.fr/ide

Strange selection of platforms.

Thanks for the replies, folks. I will begin my assault anew

I was able to install Faust with much difficulty through my git bash console. I ended up reinstalling through msys2 (https://www.msys2.org/) which was much much easier.

As noted above, the web platforms are really good. I often just write all my Faust code through the web IDE and then just export to C++, JUCE, or directly to a VST from there. That said, for more heavy usage it can be nice to have Faust installed locally.

Let me know if you need help, I'd be happy to assist!

Well, the 'faust2 scripts' are 'faust to <platform> scripts', and if you look further you can see that some of them eg faust2faustvst, faust2api you can see that windows is flagged as supported.

but having a look, most of these are bash scripts and the like. windows doesn't have bash by default.

plus a lot of the targets that are unsupported are fairly unix-y.

Anyone here ever build/install FAUST successfully on Windows?
