[BUG] curl/curl.h: No such file or directory

[ct2034]

When running bash build_linux.sh I get ...

In file included from ../../JuceLibraryCode/include_juce_core.cpp:8:0:
../../../../modules/juce_core/juce_core.cpp:81:13: fatal error: curl/curl.h: No such file or directory
    #include <curl/curl.h>
             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

I have got libcurl4 installed.

Seems to be solved by sudo apt install libcurl4-gnutls-dev

Hmm, I hadn't thought that libcurl was a necessary dependency. I should double-check that, thanks for letting me know.

In the meantime, yes, installing one of the libcurl-*-dev packages should give you the required headers.

Thanks!

While packaging for NixOS, I found out there seem to be a few more dependencies:

    freetype
    libGL
    libXext
    python3

[jatinchowdhury18]

Ah, thanks for pointing that out, I'm adding some notes to the Building.md page to clarify this.

The python dependency is particularly annoying since I'm only using it to generate the .ttl files for the LV2 build. I've actually been working with the folks @DISTRHO to work out an easier way to build LV2 plugins with JUCE, that (among other things) doesn't depend on python (see here). Eventually, when those changes go through, and I migrate this plugin to build with CMake, the python dependency should go away.

Great!
Does that mean there will be lv2 versions of more of your plugins?
I'm especially looking forward to Bad-Circuit-Modelling and DrumFixer!

[jatinchowdhury18]

Yes, the idea is that all my future plugins will support LV2 builds automatically! For past plugins, it will have to be a three-step process of:

1. Upgrading to JUCE6
2. Migrating from Projucer builds to CMake builds
3. Adding LV2 CMake target.

Since I'm not actively working on Bad-Circuit-Modelling, it may take me a while to get around to migrating those. However, I've been thinking about some upgrades for DrumFixer, so that could be happening sooner.
