[CM] Building Common Music on Arch Linux

Thu Oct 29 16:25:03 PDT 2020

It would be terrific If you would try that! Since I started the CS+Music degree here a few years ago I simply don't have time to do even maintenance let alone development. Also, I have to teach my courses in either Python or C++ because that's what students are using in their CS courses.  I actually now have a “version” of cm implemented in python3 that doesn't need any building and I would be happy to release it, the only catch is the course is about students building software systems so I don't really want to release the sources to the reference implementation lol, but i guess i could just release pyc files.  If I live long enough I would do a python binding to sndlib, at that point I would have the equivalent of the original Common Lisp/CLM/Common Music system but much more maintainable.

Would it be helpful for me to try building with JUCE 6? I have a separate reason for mucking about with JUCE and S7 so could certainly try building grace if that would be helpful.

Also, a propos, after a month of figuring out the scheduling layer of the Max SDK I  think I have almost got far enough with Scheme For Max to port Common Music!

Ok if you dont care which version and are not a big fan of JUCE or building c++ apps then I would definitely  suggest you try the stable version of Common Music in Common Lisp, which believe is still on the sourceforge website!

Okay, maybe I'll try to build both when I get the chance. I don't know what the difference would be. I'm not a huge fan of JUCE, but I would like to try to get it to build to have something to experiment with.

As far as building it goes, I've followed the readme from https://github.com/ricktaube/grace and when I try to make in the sndlib folder, there says there is nothing to make. Here is the command I have run before make:

$ premake5 --with-g++

I followed all of the steps before that, and I am not quite sure what I have missed. I'm not an expert at building things, so it may be obvious. I also have premake 5.0a15-1 on my Artix machine, and am not sure if that is the problem or not. What do you think it might be?

If you want to use JUCE then you should use Grace. The code should build in JUCE 5 but I havent tried it in juce 6 at all, so there may be some effort there.

I am not sure which version I want. Which one is the most kept up, or are they both kept up? Is there any benefit for either choice?

Hi Brandon, are you trying to build the common lisp version or the S7/Grace version?  If the latter you should get the sources from its github home, there is a readme that should get you going. Im not sure what will happen in JUCE 6 let me know if you are having issues compiling:

https://github.com/ricktaube/grace.git

Ill have some more news about this in perhaps 10 days.

Hello all,

I have heard from one of my previous professors about the cool things one can do with Common Music. I am really interested in setting this up to play with it. I tried to build Common Music on my Artix Linux setup (Arch Linux without systemd) and it won't compile, even though I think I have all of the dependencies. I don't know if I have all of the JUCE dependencies, as the readme file that comes with the source code has a dead<http://www.rawmaterialsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6502&hilit=juce+linux+install> link, but I do have JUCE installed on my system from the official repository.

Does anyone on this list use Common Music on Arch and have a package or a PKGBUILD at all? I would be extremely interested in that. If not, maybe I can post the compiler output and see what the issues are.

Thank you very much for your help on this matter,

Brandon Hale
