Cross-platform release: https://github.com/marionm/bikeshed-vcv-rack/releases/tag/2.1.0

The above release was compiled using the Rack Plugin Toolchain, and all modules were manually tested on all three platforms.

Note that compilation using the toolchain's Linux cross-compiler requires OpenSSL to be compiled and statically linked in the toolchain's dependencies, which (I assume) is unusual. This is my first plugin, and so I'm unsure if this conflicts with your internal processes. If it helps, my repo includes a one-line command for a working build using Docker (Cross-platform compilation with Docker), or alternatively, the manual steps I took to get my Dockerized toolchain working with OpenSSL in the first place (Manual cross-platform compilation).

OpenSSL is included in libRack which is dynamically linked to your plugin, so you should not build it into your plugin as well. Why do you need this library?

[marionm]

Hm, maybe I messed something up then, either in my code, or how I built my docker image for the Rack toolchain... I'll take a look and get back to you in a day or two.

Either way, thanks for taking a look.

(Since you asked, one feature of the module is an integration to the GitHub contributions API, allowing use of your own GitHub activity heatmap as sequencer values (manual). This has to be an HTTPS request, hence the above. If this ends up being a huge pain for some reason, I'll probably just drop the integration - it is neat IMO, but not a core requirement.)

No idea how I had run into issues before, but after some cleanup, compilation/functionality all seems well with the unmodified Rack toolchain, as you said it should be - sorry for the confusion. Updated details:

You can just call rack::network::requestJson(), or use cURL directly, which is also included in libRack.

[marionm]

You're right of course, thank you - I made this harder than it had to be and feel silly now haha. Removed my nlohmann/json and cpp-httplib dependencies in favor of using the included libcurl:
