I have just opened an issue on github because I can’t get mod-sdk running. natively (fedora 40) or dockerized.

I alays get some dependency issue

I am feeling dumb (how to build a PD plugin for MOD devices?)

I responded to the ticket on github: Package 'phantomjs' has no installation candidate · Issue #37 · moddevices/mod-sdk · GitHub

mod-sdk needs a full rework in order to be usable, I dont recommend to rely on it at the moment.

it is not needed in order to build plugins, the “sdk” in the name makes it a bit confusing
it is much more of a “modgui-generator” than any real SDK.

no luck also with debian:11

#5

well, also a “modgui-generator” would be great, I really can’t find a suitable workflow to build a very simple plugin (using midi) from PD to DWARF

#6

I dont know how it is for PD, but in general the approach is:

# clone the plugin builder repo
git clone https://github.com/moddevices/mod-plugin-builder/
cd mod-build-builder

# build dwarf toolchain
# remove "minimal" if you need 3rd party libs like libsndfile
./bootstrap.sh moddwarf minimal

# setup current shell for building using the dwarf toolchain
source local.env moddwarf

# now you can build your plugin projects within this shell
cd /path/to/my/plugin
cmake -S . -B build
make -C build
# or whatever applies to build the plugin

# deploy the lv2 bundle to a MOD unit over USB
cd /path/to/plugin/build
tar chz *.lv2 | base64 | curl -F 'package=@-' http://192.168.51.1/sdk/install; echo

Thanks!

I forgot to mention that, since some guy at RedHat tought that switching to wget2 and breaking wget compatibility would be a good idea, Fedora (or RH, or Centos, or whatever rpm distro) users like me will have to do this small changes on toolchain/moddwarf.config or his model configuration file

I am not going to open an issue on github because it should be a RH problem, but it could be useful to know.
