Thanks to Rory Walsh for adjusting the Windows build and producing a binary installer.

Wonderful news!

Thanks to Victor, Rory, Francois, Eduardo, John, and Michael.

I am happy to say that on Ubuntu 20.04, after building the Faust master branch with the Faust shared library, and setting the ABLETON_LINK_HOME environment variable, I easily built the following targets:

…/build/py/libpy.so
…/build/chua/libchua.so
…/build/image/libimage.so
…/build/AbletonLinkOpcodes/libableton_link_opcodes.so
…/build/widgets/libwidgets.so
…/build/faustcsound/libfaustcsound.so

I would very much appreciate it if some developer with a Windows development system would debug the vst3 opcodes in https://github.com/gogins/csound-vst3-opcodes. The Windows build builds on GitHub continuous integration and can be downloaded, but it crashes, while the Linux and MacOS binaries work.

Regards,
Mike

However, there’s a problem:

WARNING: could not open library ‘/home/mkg/.local/lib/csound/6.0/plugins64/libfaustcsound.so’ (/home/mkg/.local/lib/csound/6.0/plugins64/libfaustcsound.so: undefined symbol: _Z16deleteDSPFactoryP16llvm_dsp_factory)

Victor_Lazzarini · August 21, 2021, 9:42am

I checked this on MacOS and libfaust 2.33.1 has it

% nm ~/lib/faust-2.33.1/lib/libfaust.2.33.1.dylib | grep _Z16deleteDSPFactoryP16llvm_dsp_factory
0000000000488fc0 T __Z16deleteDSPFactoryP16llvm_dsp_factory

So I presume you need to check your faust installation. I’ve also asked at the faust list.

Victor_Lazzarini · August 21, 2021, 9:05am

Looks like the faust library you have is not compatible. I tested here on MacOS with the latest release (2.33) and I saw no issues.

Stéphane has confirmed in the faust list that this function is part of the current API.

Michael_Gogins · August 21, 2021, 12:06pm

I have this version:

mkg@xenakis:~/plugins/build$ faust --version
FAUST Version 2.33.1

With the master-dev branch of Faust I get this compiler error:

In file included from /home/mkg/faust/compiler/generator/llvm/llvm_dsp_aux.cpp:44:
/home/mkg/faust/compiler/generator/llvm/llvm_dsp_aux.cpp: In member function ‘virtual bool llvm_dsp_factory_aux::writeDSPFactoryToMachineFile(const string&, const string&)’:
/home/mkg/faust/compiler/generator/llvm/llvm_dsp_aux.hh:55:36: error: ‘F_None’ is not a member of ‘llvm::sys::fs’; did you mean ‘OF_None’?
55 | #define sysfs_binary_flag sys::fs::F_None

^~~~~~

I have this version:

mkg@xenakis:~/plugins/build$ faust --version
FAUST Version 2.33.1
Embedded backends:
Copyright (C) 2002-2021, GRAME - Centre National de Creation Musicale. All rights reserved.

It lacks the symbol “deleteDSPFactory”. But I will try the master-dev branch of Faust.

Thanks for checking, this should help.

Maybe you don’t have the right version of LLVM?

According to this you need version 8 or above

Thanks for confirming.

Ah, I see you are missing the LLVM IR backend. This is what I have

% ~/lib/faust-2.33.1/bin/faust --version
FAUST Version 2.33.1
Embedded backends:
   DSP to C
   DSP to C++
   DSP to CSharp
   DSP to DLang
   DSP to FIR
   DSP to Interpreter
   DSP to Java
   DSP to LLVM IR
   DSP to old C++
   DSP to Rust
   DSP to SOUL
   DSP to WebAssembly (wast/wasm)

You are correct, my version of Faust did not have any back ends.

I fixed that, but I still had the opcodes crashing during load.

I finally gave up trying to build Faust from sources, and just installed the following system packages for Faust:

mkg@xenakis:~/faust/build$ apt list --installed “faust”
Listing… Done
faust-common/focal,focal,now 2.20.2~ds0-1 all [installed]
faust/focal,now 2.20.2~ds0-1 amd64 [installed]
libfaust2/focal,now 2.20.2~ds0-1 amd64 [installed]

Even though deleteDSPFactory is still undefined in the Faust opcodes library, and even though on Ubuntu 20.04 the Faust version is only 2.20.2, the opcodes nevertheless build and load without error. I haven’t done fancy tests, but the example in the Csound Reference Manual runs.

Thanks,
Mike

Victor_Lazzarini · August 21, 2021, 6:54pm

Thanks for this. I think any Faust 2.x works (and possibly earlier versions too).

I’ve been porting some of the Faust examples in https://faustide.grame.fr/ to Csound patches.

In most cases, the examples are not useful in my particular rather pitch based style of composition, but I find that some of the sounds are very attractive, such as the bells. In other cases I have got sounds that I like that I can get pitches out of.

I am putting the patches in https://github.com/gogins/csound-extended/tree/develop/silencio/patches if anyone wants to look at them. The filenames all start with “Faust”.

I have a big question: Are there other open source repositories of instruments or effects created in Faust that would make sense to use in Csound?

Regards,
Mike

Looks very interesting, thanks for sharing.

I have booked the Faust examples that I have ported, into the csound-extended/develop branch here: https://github.com/gogins/csound-extended/tree/develop/silencio/patches.

The module system, which explains how to use such patches, is explained here: https://github.com/gogins/csound-extended/blob/develop/silencio/patches/modular_csound.pdf.

I still need to clean up some stuff, that could take a day or two.

Regards,
Mike
