X-win cross compile script dependency error

Kian_W · April 11, 2023, 12:29am

I’m running a wsl ubuntu install, and trying to build from source for windows using the x-win script provided. I have been having some issues. running compile.sh on x64 target gives a error about boost not being installed despite

boost being up to date in \usr\include\boost
being able to copy the headed causing a error into a basic cpp file, compiled it and ran it with no errors.

Is this a issue with the install script, or the package, or am I missing something?

log from build/config below, had to remove some of the #define tsags because of char limit

I regret that as a general rule we cannot provide support for building Ardour from source.

On Linux, this is a relatively easy process thanks to distro packaging of all the required dependencies.

Building for Windows is a very painful process, and we don’t have the resources to help people who run into issues.

Possibly someone will weigh in with a suggestion anyway. From the output above, there’s almost nothing correct about your setup for cross-compiling (mostly a guess).

ccaudle · April 11, 2023, 1:47pm

That is quite vague. What is considered “up to date” for your distribution? Why not provide the actual version installed?
The test is very simple and is displayed in the output, have you tried compiling that test outside of the Ardour environment?
Copy that code into file called boost_test.cpp and compile it from your terminal:
gcc boost_test.cpp
That should show pretty clearly if your compile environment is correct or not. No output if it finds the correct boost header, or the error message gets printed if not.

This does not look like you set your config options properly, it looks like the defaults from a build server:

Do you actually have the Windows modified dependencies installed in /home/ardour/win-stack-w64, and is it actually readable from where you are apparently running (/home/kian/ardour/ardour)?

Kian_W · April 11, 2023, 2:08pm

boost v1.65 installed via apt, I have tested boost with a simple cpp file compiled with g++ both in /home and /home/kian/ardour/ardour, Im just trying right now to get dependencys working, I havent yet attempted to configure the build.

peder · April 11, 2023, 2:58pm

The error is quite self explanatory : it can’t find the file version.hpp in the boost subfolder.
So if the file is in /usr/include/boost you need to tell the toolchain to look for the include file in /usr/include

Looking at the compiling info it only has include directives for ‘-I/home/kian/ardour/ardour’, ‘-I/home/ardour/win-stack-w64/include’ and ‘-I/home/kian/ardour/ardour/build’.

gcc/g++ under linux usually has /usr/include as default search path but that doesn’t seem to be true for your mingw32 setup for some reason.

Kian_W · April 15, 2023, 10:06pm

I fixed the issue by resetting my mingw search path to /user/include, and got quite a bit further in the compile, but now the dependency regex.h is missing, despite pcre being installed via apt, also in the path /usr/include/

peder · April 17, 2023, 6:24am

regex.h comes from libc6-dev

Does /usr/include/regex.h exist? What’s the error message?

Kian_W · April 17, 2023, 12:02pm

yes, and mingw compiles the test program used by ardour when I tried manually. the error message is the same “regex.h” could’t be found.

Screw this, im just going to use lmms

GuntherT · April 17, 2023, 9:01pm

LMMS and Ardour are very different programs. I wouldn’t consider LMMS a substitute for Ardour, but if you are not looking to record and edit audio, just sequence it, it could be a good tool for you. If you are merely frustrated by the difficulty of your chosen build process, you could pay as little as a dollar to have a working binary built and provided by the project leaders.

x42 · April 17, 2023, 9:10pm

The script is meant to cross-compile (x-compile) Ardour on GNU/Linux. I doubt that it will work with WSL.

The most recent success story to compile Ardour on Window was with MSVC and vcpkg.io. However vcpkg does not provide gtk[mm]2.x, but the gtk3 build description can apparently be changed (vcpkg/vcpkg.json at master · microsoft/vcpkg · GitHub) to instead build gtk2. – I have however no first hand experience with this.

peder · April 18, 2023, 9:22am

WSL is GNU/Linux, only running in under a Windows hypervisor of sorts, so theoretically there should be no difference running the script there.
Unless, of course, there are subtle bugs or assumptions in the script.

That said, I second GuntherT’s suggestion pay a few dollars and download the official installer, if Kian really wants to run Ardour in Windows.
