Linux support

[cyberic99]

Hello @ggnkua , glad to see some activity in this repo!

I tried again to convert a .aks file to a .sndh.

I am using linux and I think there are a few issues in scripts.

Also, my experiments failed, I couldn't convert the .aks successfully.

Here is a recap of commands I typed.

# copy Sarkboteur.ark from AK2 folder
cp ~/opt/Arkos\ Tracker\ 2/songs/ArkosTracker2/3Channels/digidrums/Targhan\ -\ Sarkboteur.aks .

I also added a set x in conv_aks.sh, to get some diagnostics

$ bash -x ./build_sndh.sh "Targhan - Sarkboteur.aks" "Sarkboteur" "Tarhan" 50 SID_VOICES USE_EVENTS

 set -e

It seems there is a missing dollar sign somewhere:

let's retry:

Cannot open: Targhan_-_Sarkboteur_SID_EVENTS.s

I cannot find such file:

ls Targhan*.s

Targhan_-_Sarkboteur.aky.s
Targhan_-_Sarkboteur.events.words.s

There also seem to be case issues regarding the filenames.

when I try to rename one of these .s files 'Targhan_-_Sarkboteur_SID_EVENTS.s' and relaunching, I get:

Targhan_-_Sarkboteur_SID_EVENTS.s 4235: Error: cannot output absolute binary without a starting address (.org or command line)

Here is an excerpt of the file:

I can do more tests or pull requests if you want.

Thank you

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the report, I'll check it out later after work!

[ggnkua]

Ok, I pushed a small fix. It seems to work fine with my WSL2 install, let me know if it also works for you and we'll close the ticket then!

[cyberic99]

yep this is fixed, thanks!

I now have a resulting .sndh file.

however, I can't hear any digi.

Are they supposed to work correctly?

thx again

[ggnkua]

Hi again,

I forgot to mention this yesterday - samples support is not yet included in the ST player. Furthermore, Targhan has created a couple of new formats and each one has different feature sets. I'm not 100% sure that the AKY format supports samples at all... so I'll have to go and port another replay routine by hand again and then add ST sample code.

Also, see issue #2 :), but I'll call this one done for now if you don't mind....

[cyberic99]

Thx for your answers!

the script is now working for me, I am closing it.
