Building on Linux
IMPORTANT: this article is not 100% accurate, e.g. it assumes you use the X Window System.
If you consider yourself confident enough (and use a deb-based distro with apt-get), you can proceed to TL;DR, otherwise the detailed instruction is probably what you should proceed to.
The following has been tested on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 (64-bit) install.
NOTE: If you have zynaddsubfx (or similar) package installed, you should remove it before executing the last command.
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential git ruby libtool libmxml-dev automake cmake libfftw3-dev libjack-jackd2-dev liblo-dev libz-dev libasound2-dev mesa-common-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libcairo2-dev libfontconfig1-dev bison libuv1 libuv1-dev
$ git clone https://github.com/zynaddsubfx/zyn-fusion-build
$ cd zyn-fusion-build
$ ruby build-linux.rb
$ tar -jxvf zyn-fusion-linux-64bit-3.0.6-dev-release.tar.bz2
$ cd zyn-fusion
$ sudo bash ./install-linux.sh
NOTE: If fltk is only partially installed on the system, 'fluid' may be assumed to be installed (though some distros separate it into a secondary package). It is important to note that FLTK is not used to build zyn-fusion, nor is FLTK a requirement to build.
NOTE: If you don't use JACK and use ALSA, you can run the software with zynaddsubfx -O alsa. Details in the help message: zynaddsubfx -h.
After building and installing is done, there should be standalone, LV2 and VST versions of Zyn-Fusion on your Linux machine.
Everything below should be done in your terminal emulator as a normal user (not as root).
NOTE: if you have libfltk1.x (or similar package) installed, see this issue.
First of all, you will need to install the dependencies of Zyn-Fusion.
Following was tested on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 (64-bit) install. The dependencies should suffice on other versions of Ubuntu and other deb-based distributions as well.
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential git ruby libtool libmxml-dev automake cmake libfftw3-dev libjack-jackd2-dev liblo-dev libz-dev libasound2-dev mesa-common-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libcairo2-dev libfontconfig1-dev bison python libuv1 libuv1-dev
The following was tested on a fresh (2018-01-06) Arch Linux install. The dependencies should suffice on Arch derivatives as well.
Instead of the last two packages different packages should be installed in some cases.
$ sudo pacman -S gcc ruby python pkg-config git make cmake automake autoconf bison libtool mxml liblo zlib fftw jack2 alsa-lib cairo glu mesa rake ladspa
The following was tested on a Fedora 29 and 33. (Instead of the group @"C Development Tools and Libraries" you could install detailed packages gcc, make ... but the precise list is up to you.)
$ sudo dnf install @"C Development Tools and Libraries" git ruby libtool mxml-devel automake cmake fftw-devel jack-audio-connection-kit-devel liblo-devel zlib-devel alsa-lib-devel libX11-devel mesa-libGL-devel cairo-devel fontconfig-devel python bison rubygem-rake python2
To build the software, you will need the build scripts, which are in this repository. To get, it clone the repository. After that, change your current directory to the cloned repository's one.
$ git clone https://github.com/zynaddsubfx/zyn-fusion-build
$ cd zyn-fusion-build
To execute the build script, which is written in Ruby programming language, execute the following. It will ask you for superuser password one or several times.
$ ruby build-linux.rb
When finished, it should generate demo and release tarballs (archives) that contain Zyn-Fusion.
NOTE: If you have zynaddsubfx (or similar) package installed, you should remove it before executing the last command.
Unpack the tarball, change your current directory to the unpacked folder, execute install-linux.sh as the superuser, do what it asks for.
$ tar -jxvf zyn-fusion-linux-64bit-3.0.6-dev-release.tar.bz2
$ cd zyn-fusion
$ sudo bash ./install-linux.sh
You can use Zyn-Fusion in a LV2-capable host, a VST-capable host or run a standalone version via:
$ zynaddsubfx
NOTE: If you don't use JACK and use ALSA, you can run the software with zynaddsubfx -O alsa. Details in the help message: zynaddsubfx -h.
