Issues building on Microsoft Windows

LovelyA72 opened this issue 2 years ago · 25 comments

Configure is checking if zlib > 1.1.8 is installed. In my instance I am having zlib 1.2.13-3(equivalent to Arch Linux zlib 1.2.13) installed via pacman. But configure still can not detect my zlib installation.

My OS is Microsoft Windows 10 (x86_64-pc-msys)

Answer 1 · 2023-03-31T06:47:36.000Z

Are you running a WSL instance or VM on top of Windows 10? Or are you doing something different?

I have a Manjaro (Arch based) VM and this is the installed package.

$ pacman -Q | grep zlib
zlib 1:1.2.13-2

This is the related part of ./configure on this setup.

[...]
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for zlib... yes

[...]

Can you post here the ./configure output?

I'll try to replicate your issue.

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables zlib_CFLAGS
and zlib_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

My build environment is MSYS2.

And the issue resolved by running MSYS2 from the correct executable. However, after a successful configure I got this error when making.

In file included from notifier.c:25:
notifier.h:24:10: fatal error: sys/inotify.h: No such file or directory
   24 | #include <sys/inotify.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

As far as I know inotify is a Linux-only feature and are not implemented in Windows. It will be nice to have a Windows build which doesn't rely on these Linux exclusive features

Honestly this is the only Midi SDS software I have not tried. Awave studio works but freezes and crash randomly when transmitting samples, it's also paid. Same applies to sample wrench. It randomly freeze when transmitting samples. Elektroid is my only option right now and I really wish I can get it to work on my Windows PC.

It randomly freeze when transmitting samples. Elektroid is my only option right now and I really wish I can get it to work on my Windows PC.

I see. We can give it a try. Also, I'd be cool to be able to run Elektroid on Windows.

I've run occasionally Elektroid on WSL (over a Debian installation) and it works but MIDI devices are not listed, so it can not be used for MIDI SDS. For what I've read, MSYS2 is not related to WSL and it could just work.

We're gonna face other issues. At least, this.

preferences.c:24:10: fatal error: wordexp.h: No such file or directory
   24 | #include <wordexp.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~

I can create a branch so we can work these issues out over it.

But before doing it, could you try building the Elektroid CLI only? This uses less dependencies and I think it could just work for you without issues.

It's explained in the README.md. You need to pass CLI_ONLY=yes to ./configure like this.

./configure CLI_ONLY=yes

The interesting thing to test here is the output of elektroid-cli ld, which should list the MIDI devices connected to your computer. Post the output here, please.

Let me know if this works for you and we can create the branch and fix the remaining issues later.

Answer 7 · 2023-04-02T19:46:17.000Z

It's gonna be more complicated than it looked. I'll create a msys2 branch and we can work from there.

But, first, I've downloaded and installed MSYS2 and managed to install some dependencies but I couldn't get passed libzip. I'd say I've installed the required dependencies but...
Could you post here the packages you installed with pacman so I can try to build it?

I'm stuck here.

$ ./configure CLI_ONLY=yes
configure: loading site script /etc/config.site
checking build system type... x86_64-w64-mingw32
checking host system type... x86_64-w64-mingw32
checking how to print strings... printf
checking for gcc... gcc
[...]
checking for libzip >= 1.1.2... no
configure: error: Package requirements (libzip >= 1.1.2) were not met:

Package 'libzip', required by 'virtual:world', not found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables libzip_CFLAGS
and libzip_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Answer 8 · 2023-04-03T20:54:24.000Z

Ah, yeah, that was my first issue. You need to launch MSYS MinGW64 from the installation path.
It looks like this.

If you launch from here pkg-config can get the correct packages installed.

Answer 9 · 2023-04-03T20:55:32.000Z

for zlib i installed with pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-zlib
You can find all MSYS2 pacman packages from here: https://packages.msys2.org/queue

Answer 10 · 2023-04-07T10:14:38.000Z

I managed to install all the dependencies to compile elektroid-cli. I've found a few things on the way that needed to be fixed too besides the ones you mention.

Everything is pushed to the msys2 branch and looks like it's working so far.

A few caveats.

Only the CLI is fixed for now. I haven't checked the GUI yet.
There are a few issues with my Digitakt but this does not affect the SDS connector. The MicroBrute connector is working as well.

Also, take this into account.

When running elektroid-cli.exe, the environment variable MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL must be set like this because the heuristics used to map directories will affect the used paths.

$ export MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL="*"

When compiling, this variable needs to be unset, otherwise the compilation won't work properly.

As the goal in MSYS2 is to run the GUI and not the CLI, this limitation is only temporary.

Let me know if the SDS upload and download works for you so we can continue working on this branch.

Answer 11 · 2023-04-07T10:27:37.000Z

Examples:

$ elektroid-cli.exe sds-mono16-dl 0:/1
$ elektroid-cli.exe -vv sds-mono16-ul sample.wav 0:/2:samplename

Don't forget to add the sample name when uploading.

BTW, which sampler are you working with? I've implemented all this only based on an E-Mu ESI-2000. So there might be bugs.

Answer 12 · 2023-04-07T12:45:21.000Z

GUI compilation is now fixed too. It basically works but a few things will need some attention.

Try the GUI too and let me know your thoughts on it.

Answer 13 · 2023-04-07T14:49:17.000Z

Thank you so much! I can confirm that GUI works. Currently it needs all it's resource files (like gui.css) in a fixed location. In my case it's C:\msys64\mingw64\share\elektroid. I have not yet tested with a midi device.

Answer 14 · 2023-04-07T16:32:43.000Z

Currently it needs all it's resource files (like gui.css) in a fixed location.

Didn't make install copy all the needed resources? Did you copy these manually?

Answer 15 · 2023-04-09T00:11:00.000Z

Tested with an E-MU ESI-4000 sampler. I was able to transfer a sample to my sampler. Both midi in and out lights are flashing just fine.
However, the process is very slow. Probably due to I am not transferring to an Elektron device.

In the official C6 software there's an option for transfer delay and not wait for handshake. However, that's better to have it's own issue

Should I close this issue or you prefer to close it automatically with a pr?

Answer 16 · 2023-04-09T06:34:19.000Z

Great that it works for you.

I'm gonna leave the SDS implementation as it is (with handshake) as both of us have the same sampler and it already works. In case you really want a non handshake version, create another issue and we'll investigate it there.

OTOH, I've found that there are other issues on Windows, so these need to be addressed before closing this issue. I'm currently working on it and have already changed quite a few things so more testing will be needed.

I'll keep you informed.

Answer 17 · 2023-04-10T14:20:55.000Z

I've pushed quite a few commits that make Elektroid to work reasonably well on MSYS2. Still some work to do.

Just a few observations in no particular order.

I've had a few issues with paths containing non ASCII characters. I don't know the reason and probably won't invest more time in fixing these. See below for a workaround.
It runs slightly slower on MSYS2 but runs much slower when running with verbose output.
Sometimes, SDS uploading fails. Id doesn't seem to fail with verbosity so looks like a timing issue.
Sometimes, reading a directory on my Digitakt fails. It usually happens just after connecting and later works fine.
Functions get_download_path and get_upload_path mix up path separators. Should be fixed but as it's working anyway...

It would be very nice if you could test Elektroid thoroughly. Let me know if you find any issue.

Unrelated to Elektroid, I've set up MSYS2 following these steps. Perhaps someone could find this interesting.

Install MSYS2 on the default directory.
Add HOME environement variable by running sysdm.cpl. My Windows username happens to have non ASCII characters so I fixed the errors with this.
Add export LANG=C to the end of .bashrc as the locales doesn't seem to work well.

Answer 18 · 2023-04-10T15:12:43.000Z

~~Functions get_download_path and get_upload_path mix up path separators. Should be fixed but as it's working anyway...~~

Done in 290416e.

No more mixed path separators.

Answer 19 · 2023-04-10T17:26:17.000Z

Add export LANG=C to the end of .bashrc as the locales doesn't seem to work well.

I surely had something wrong because translations work with LANG=es_ES.UTF-8.

Answer 20 · 2023-04-13T03:44:03.000Z

I tested it again on my ESI4000. This time sample transfer speed is way faster. It also doesn't lag when the sample transfer starts. One new issue is that the software can only be opened from the MSYS2 MinGW64 command prompt. If i tries to double click it directly from the explorer it will simply crash.

Answer 21 · 2023-04-13T12:55:04.000Z

the software can only be opened from the MSYS2 MinGW64 command prompt. If i tries to double click it directly from the explorer it will simply crash.

This is by design. MSYS2 provides you with the environment to run many packages on Windows but requires them to be launch from the environment itself. Among other things, it provides the application with paths to the shared libraries the same way GNU/Linux and other OSs do.

Based on the docs, if we wanted to fix this, we could try Styrene.

I'd be very cool if we could add this to Elektroid but, sadly, I don't have much time to do this now. Could you give it a try and share the results?

Answer 22 · 2023-04-13T14:29:39.000Z

Alright. It is having issues installing on my computer. The current state is usable and hopefully other contributors on Windows can pick up the state and continue. Thank you so much for the Windows port!

Answer 23 · 2023-04-14T15:50:44.000Z

Branch merged into master.

Answer 24 · 2023-04-15T22:53:07.000Z

SDS issues fixed.

Uploading is now a little slower but works flawlessly. This was affecting Linux builds (ALSA and RtMidi) too.

Answer 25 · 2023-04-17T17:49:12.000Z

After a few code tweaks, my Digitakt works much better.

The only remaining issue happens only when plugging the Digitakt and openning Elektroid immediately after, which leads me to think that there is something going on with the Elektron or Windows drivers as this doesn't happen on other RtMidi systems.

Elektroid can recover some times but, if the directory is not read, clicking on the reload button works and there are no more errors.

With this, MSYS2 support is completed.
