Build issue about td-faust

[DBraun]

I think python is using Python 2.7, but you'll need Python 3.6 or higher. Do you have that installed? Then it would be python3 download_libfaust.py I pushed a minor update to the script to debug this in case the Python version is too low.

Thanks! I have Python 3.11 installed so I tried 'python3 download_libfaust.py'. Unfortunately, I'm getting pretty much the same error - I'm getting this now:

Can you go to Finder and unmount the Faust-2.70.3 and then run the script again? Maybe there's an issue if it's already mounted.

[oyinkan21]

Thanks! I unmounted it but I'm still getting the exact same error where it says the file already exists and 'no such file or directory'.

[DBraun]

Sorry there are probably some other issues. I'll get back to you soon.

[DBraun]

I pushed some fixes which I checked on my mac. Can you pull and then continue with python3 download_libfaust.py?

[oyinkan21]

Thanks so much! I did that and I think it worked. Here's what I got:

However when I got to the last step of the build I hit this error:

(base) me@my-MacBook-Pro-2 TD-faust % python build_tdfaust.py --pythonver=3.11

I checked that my cmake works fine so not really sure what the issue is. (sorry for all the questions)

[DBraun]

The error is CMake Error: The source directory "/Users/me/Desktop/TD-Faust/thirdparty/libsndfile" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
You need to run git submodule update --init --recursive in the root of TD-Faust. For the next steps, I also want to make sure CMake is available from the command line, so you may need to run
PATH="/Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin":"$PATH" before python3 build_tdfaust.py
or choose a more permanent solution like modifying your .zshrc file.

[DBraun]

I've revised the build procedure a little. Can you either try the pre-compiled plugins from the Releases or could you try the build procedure again? The README was updated too.
