I'm doing something wrong

[Tim W.]

Trying to build ,

In file included from /home/iondiode/workspace/composite/src/sampler/
EngineLv2.cpp:22:
/home/iondiode/workspace/composite/src/sampler/EngineLv2.hpp:66:
error: ‘LV2_Handle’ does not name a type

error: ‘LV2_Handle’ has not been declared
/home/iondiode/workspace/composite/src/sampler/EngineLv2.hpp:77:
error: ‘LV2_Handle’ has not been declared

my /usr/include/lv2.h has this definition

but src/3rd-party/lv2/lv2.h contains 1 line

lv2core-3.0/lv2.h

and thats it

any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks

In the source tree, src/3rd-party/lv2/lv2.h is supposed to
be a symbolic link to lv2core-3.0/lv2.h. E.g. on my system:

$ ls -l src/3rd-party/lv2
total 12
drwxrwxr-x 2 gabriel parents 4096 2010-02-23 21:50 event.lv2
drwxrwxr-x 4 gabriel parents 4096 2010-02-23 21:50 lv2core-3.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 gabriel parents 23 2010-02-23 21:50 lv2core.lv2 -> lv2core-3.0/lv2core.lv2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 gabriel parents 17 2010-02-23 21:50 lv2.h -> lv2core-3.0/lv2.h
drwxrwxr-x 2 gabriel parents 4096 2010-02-23 21:50 midi.lv2

So, it looks to me like your system doesn't have the symlink made
properly.

How did you download and unpack your sources?

Thanks,
Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,

I see, this is probably my fault. I downloaded the source using a git plugin on eclipse. I've never used git before. Perhaps I will try just cloning the repository using the command line version and see what that gives me ( at work right now , will try this evening)

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Cheers,

Tim

Did you clone it onto a Windows (FAT/HPFS) file system?

I just did a clone into one of those... and got exactly what
you described. Those file systems don't support symbolic
links. It won't even work from the tarball distribution.

If you're on FAT/HPFS -- the workaround is to simply copy
the files to the right place.

Otherwise... sounds like a bug with the tool that you used.

Note: I knew this problem would eventually surface... but
in the mean-time symlinks saved me some time. Until today.

No, using ext3 I believe.

probably, I'll try it with the regular git tool

No problem, thanks for the help
