Help with compiling, please. about squeezer

[38github]

I have git cloned Squeezer and started make config=release_x64 and it begins to compile but very early on it stops with errors about not finding juce_audio_basics/juce_audio_basics.cpp'.```

$ make config=release_x64

Hi!

There is a whole section in the manual that explains how to compile Squeezer. Please try to work through those steps.

Best,
Martin

Thank you as usual, Martin!

My distro does not have a premake package so I used the premade make files, extracted the juce zip file under libraries. I then downloaded the VST2 SDK and extracted the pluginterface folder and then edited the compile CFLAGS in the gmake folder.It worked!

Thank you!

I'm glad to hear that it worked! :)

I also download premake5. It has not been officially released and the specs are not 100% stable, so you really want to have the same version I used.

Be a bit careful with VST2 - unless you have an old license to use it, you are not allowed to distribute executables based on that. Also, be a bit careful about VST3, because there is an issue with storing the internal state. Which I will work on once I find some time ...

I really look forward to VST3 support. Maybe even CLAP... ;)

Off topic: I really like this compressor with very short releases and doing parallel compression using the "wet" knob.

I managed to compile Squeezer (x64) in Void Linux using Musl libc. The following things had to be done.

I had to install libglob-devel to not recieve errors concerning infoexec.h because of Musl and it being a Glibc "feature".

I used to LTO and clang gave me errors about linking with LLVMgold and shared files so I installed lld and added -fuse-ld=lld to ALL_LDFLAGS in the make files.

I had to comment three lines in juce_linux_SystemStats.cpp to make some errors go away. I have no idea though what or if this might cause any issues but if you want to comment on it I will really appreciate it.

// String SystemStats::getUserLanguage()     { return getLocaleValue (_NL_IDENTIFICATION_LANGUAGE); }
// String SystemStats::getUserRegion()       { return getLocaleValue (_NL_IDENTIFICATION_TERRITORY); }
// String SystemStats::getDisplayLanguage()  { return getUserLanguage() + "-" + getUserRegion(); }

The dependencies that I needed to install where to following:
clang lld alsa-lib-devel jack-devel libX11-devel libXcursor-devel libXinerama-devel libXrandr-devel freetype-devel libglob-devel

Somehow I couldn't find the squeezer folder with skins and other files so I copied them from the Glibc compile and it made the GUI work.

I have tried the four VST2 plugins in Ardour7 and Qtractor without any problems so far. Really resource effecient!
