Building on Debian 10

[tank-trax]

I have successfully built Sonic-Pi version 3.2.0-dev on Debian 9 Stretch in the past

after having recently migrated to Debian 10 Buster I had a encountered a few problems building but managed to find workarounds which may provide useful for modifications to the build-debian-app

the first snag was this

error: ‘FF_MIN_BUFFER_SIZE’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘AVUTIL_BUFFER_H’?
 #define AUBIO_AVCODEC_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE FF_MIN_BUFFER_SIZE

this is corrected by making the following change to the file aubio/src/io/source_avcodec.c

line 61 replace FF_MIN_BUFFER_SIZE with AV_INPUT_BUFFER_MIN_SIZE

#define AUBIO_AVCODEC_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE AV_INPUT_BUFFER_MIN_SIZE

the next issue was with ruby rugged

rugged 0.26.0 cannot be installed

Could not find a valid gem 'rugged' (= 0.26.0) in any repository

However

sudo gem install rugged -v '0.28.0'

installs successfully

I tried executing export RUGGED_VERSION=0.28.0 or changing line 13 of build-debian-app to RUGGED_VERSION=0.28.0 but neither seemed to have had any effect

I followed your instructions and modified the paths so that it looked like

cp -a "/var/lib/gems/2.5.0/gems/rugged-0.28.0/." "../../server/ruby/vendor/rugged-0.26.0/"

afterwards the build completed successfully and Sonic-Pi loaded

the last step to get MIDI devices recognized was to move the osmid folder up one level

from

app/server/native/linux/osmid/

to

app/server/native/osmid

maybe you would find some solutions here : https://in-thread.sonic-pi.net/t/building-sp3-2dev-from-source-on-a-pi4-edit-addendum-added/2645

@nlebellier I was looking for that, thanks

I tried again with this modification to compile-extensions.rb

change line 41 from

File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../vendor/rugged-0.26.0/ext/rugged'),

to

File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../vendor/rugged-0.28.0/ext/rugged'),

and the rugged part worked

with
sudo gem install rugged -v '0.28.0'
and RUGGED_VERSION=0.28.0

I recognize now that the Heads are detached to previous versions, can Sonic-Pi be built against the latest most recent versions of Aubio, SC3 plugins and SuperCollider?

[tank-trax]

the answer is yes, I made these changes to bring things up to date

build-debian-app

SUPERCOLLIDER_VERSION=3.10.0
SC_PLUGINS_VERSION=3.10.0
AUBIO_VERSION=0.4.9
OSMID_VERSION=v0.6.8
RUGGED_VERSION=0.28.0

and

sudo gem install rugged -v '0.28.0'
cp -a "/var/lib/gems/2.5.0/gems/rugged-${RUGGED_VERSION}/." "../../server/ruby/vendor/rugged-${RUGGED_VERSION}/"

compile-extensions.rb

  File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../vendor/rugged-0.28.0/ext/rugged'),

built without a hitch and runs perfectly
