Compatibility issue with Ubuntu 22.04

[jahudka]

Hi, ReaPack depends on libcrypto.so.1.1, which doesn't seem to exist on Ubuntu 22.04, because the distribution upgraded to libcrypto.so.3 (as part of an upgrade to libssl3).

A working temporary solution is to add the Impish security repository and install libssl1.1 from there; e.g.:

# this URL works on the Raspberry Pi flavour of Ubuntu:
echo 'deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports impish-security main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/impish-security.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libssl1.1

I don't have any idea on the possible system-wide ramifications of doing this, but for now I know of no other way to get ReaPack working on Ubuntu 22.04. Is it at all possible to add support for OpenSSL 3 so that ReaPack can pick at runtime whichever OpenSSL version is available?

Working on adding support for OpenSSL 3 without losing compatibility with systems still shipping OpenSSL 1.1. In the meantime, ReaPack can be built from source on Ubuntu 22.04 to be linked against libssl3:

sudo apt install build-essential cmake git php-cli libboost-dev catch2 libcurl4-openssl-dev libxml2-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev zlib1g-dev
git clone --recursive https://github.com/cfillion/reapack.git
cd reapack
CXXFLAGS=-Wno-deprecated-declarations cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build --target install

(The last line also installs the produced binary into ~/.config/REAPER/UserPlugins`)

you have a typo in your apt install line: It's not 'build-essentials' but 'build-essential' (without the trailing 's')

Otherwise the build went smoooooth - Reaper now has the appropriate reapack-actions, and all seems to work well. There's no Reapack entry in the "extensions" menu, but that may be a menu/toolbar problem? I don't care, I never use the menu for reapack, I use my custom toolbar, but thought you might like to know. Thanks for the help!

I can confirm that the installation method described works - minus one "s" as noted above. Also with a stock theme, the Extensions menu is indeed present.

Thanks again and again for the development work. Amazing resource.

Question: which of the tools I installed for compiling can I safely uninstall now? Half a gig of development software may be too much to tote around if I'm not going to use it for much else. Thank you.

They can all be uninstalled once ReaPack is compiled.

(Fixed the typo in the apt line)

Binaries compatible with both OpenSSL 1.1 and 3.0 here: x86_64 & others ("Artifacts" tab). Will do a release in the coming days.
