Ardour-9.0.7 crash: lilv_lib_open(): error

#1

Hi, loading a project made with 8.12 (opensuse package) ardour9.0.7 segfault. From console a see the error:

lilv_lib_open(): error: Failed to open library /usr/lib64/lv2/samplv1.lv2/samplv1.so (/usr/lib64/lv2/samplv1.lv2/samplv1.so: undefined symbol: FT_Get_Paint)

Adding Samplv1 to a new project fails without crashing.
FT_Get_Paint → FreeType. Is this a sort of collision between Ardour Freetype lib and system Freetype ?

#2

Yes, Samplv1 needs to compiled statically, so that it brings whatever library code it needs with it. Otherwise, if the host (here, Ardour) also uses FreeType (or any other library also used by a plugin), but a different version, there will be problems.
