Hiya,
None of the python deps for the documentation are auto-installed (yet). Life is probably simplest if you configure with `-DDOCS=OFF` for now, but if you want the docs then the python requirements are here:

Ok I disabled that!
New Bela builds, this time including SuperCollider, Pure Data and C++: [Release flucoma-bela-feb23 · jarmitage/flucoma-bela · GitHub](https://github.com/jarmitage/flucoma-bela/releases/tag/flucoma-bela-feb23)

Question: when I built `flucoma-core` I got:
```plaintext
libHISSTools_AudioFile.a
libHISSTools_FFT.a
libflucoma_VERSION_LIB.a
```
Is that what is expected?

Yes. There will be some more static libs for a couple of the dependencies in `_deps` as well.
I haven’t yet rustled up a sensible CMake target for core: it’s mostly header files, plus those few things to link to. I guess we’d want
- a CMake export so that other CMake projects can easily pull `flucoma-core` in
- a standard install target that would package everything up in `include`/`lib` folders

Yes, that would be fantastic I think!

FYI, `[declare -lib fluid_libmanipulation]` is necessary on Bela, trying to see if there’s a more streamlined way than doing that in every patch/project…

I reckon you have read [how to install on pd](https://learn.flucoma.org/installation/pd/) on our [learn.flucoma.org](http://learn.flucoma.org) platform?
step 3 is your friend. if no gui, on the pd list there is a way to add it in the command line as you boot it.

Bela doesn’t run Pd on the CLI either, it’s through this template file: [Bela/default\_libpd\_render.cpp at master · BelaPlatform/Bela · GitHub](https://github.com/BelaPlatform/Bela/blob/master/core/default_libpd_render.cpp)
It could be hardcoded in there probably, but for now I’ve concluded that `[declare -lib fluid_libmanipulation]` is the most portable and user-friendly approach

Is there some way @weefuzzy that would CI this? OR does it need to be built _on_ the bela?

The PD thing? That’s The bela platform’s own wrapper around libpd, so not ours to mess with 😃
_However_, if there’s a libpd call to add things to the library call someone could try suggesting to team bela, via an issue / pr, that it would be neat if we could set an environment variable or something that it would check to add things to the libraries path. Certainly more flexible than coding-in flucoma stuff.

I meant more so producing the SC/PD binaries that @jarm did. I can see us adding it to our action pools for each release so that tinkerers can automatically get it!

Oh right. It’s possible to cross compile but not completely straightforward – you need a toolchain from the bela, and some special incantations. Plus not all the objects will work yet, IIRC.
That said, IIRC I’ve heard of folk doing CI for R-PI stuff using their own R-PI as self-hosted runner, so maybe that’s a possible path too.

I think it might be worth thinking about – its hard to know how many people it could enable if it just existed for them…

Greetings. First time poster here. I am curious if there are any updates on guidance for building for Bela. The flucoma-bela-feb-23 release requires Bela image [v0.5.0alpha2](https://github.com/BelaPlatform/bela-image-builder/releases/tag/v0.5.0alpha2) but that Bela image is listed as “v0.5.0alpha2 EXPERIMENTAL - DO NOT USE THIS IMAGE” so I am a little hesitant to try it. Thank you.

Hey you seem to have managed?

I’m posting here so @rodrigo.constanzo might get excited 🙂

yes, i did get flucoma running on bela, thank you.
as reflected in the github repository referenced above i am currently exploring the flucoma-sc code on Raspberry and am very excited by the prospect of having the flucoma capabilities on a tiny machine. 🙂
