Help-Video to Create Standalone?

Paul_Rhys · June 13, 2022, 4:31pm

I wondered if someone has already created a help-video, or might be interested in creating one to guide the less experienced SC-programmer, like myself, to create a Standalone app. I appreciate this will be a different process depending on platform (Mac, Windows, Linux). The instructions and code in the SC Help take some digesting, and a video could be very useful to the community of SC users.

not what you’re asking for but:
If you’re on osx this might help GitHub - dathinaios/sc_osx_standalone: A minimal SuperCollider standalone template for macOS.
on Linux GitHub - miguel-negrao/scStandalone: A template for a sclang based SuperCollider standalone

Paul_Rhys · June 13, 2022, 9:25pm

Thanks for this - I’m on MacOS, so will take a look at the first resource, which seems to be based around using Platypus to create a standalone.

semiquaver · June 14, 2022, 1:34am

the project gives you a working standalone in the form of a shell script. Platypus bundles the resources into a more familiar Mac App which is nice but it works fine even without Platypus.

Paul_Rhys · June 18, 2022, 11:25am

Thanks for your help with this. I’ve made some progress with the method to create a mac Standalone, described at GitHub - dathinaios/sc_osx_standalone: A minimal SuperCollider standalone template for macOS.. However, I’ve obtained the error messages below. Can anyone advise how to put this right? Thanks in advance!

To resolve this, either create the directory or remove it from your compilation paths.

semiquaver · June 18, 2022, 2:59pm

inside the Resources folder there should be a folder called ‘plugins’. you’ll need to copy this from Library/Application Support/Supercollider/Extensions

moreover anything you want in the way of Extensions would to copied as well - Downloaded Quarks folder etc

you can check the contents of your slang_conf.yaml file to see which quarks you are currently loading.

Paul_Rhys · June 19, 2022, 2:06pm

Thanks again for your help. I’ve advanced quite a bit further, but now hit a new error whe executing run.sh (“exception in GraphDef_Recv: UGen ‘Control’ not installed”). See below. Any ideas how to sort this out?

hmm I fear I may have steered you wrong regarding copying the plugin folder

I notice in the vanilla project gives the “plugin folder not found error” but does play the sound in init.scd even so.

looking around I see that “plugins” does already exist in resources.

Your version has the line “Compiling directory ‘plugins’”

that suggests that the plugins directory is not in the right place -

I think the folder heirarchy should be

Resources

plugins
Extensions

SCClassLibrary

is that what your seeing??

semiquaver · June 19, 2022, 2:37pm

@Dionysis may know better as that is his repo!

Dionysis · June 19, 2022, 3:55pm

Hello

The plugin folder is already included. Not sure why it gave you that error. Can you delete everything and re-download the last release to try again? Also can you share which OS you are currently on?

Paul_Rhys · August 4, 2022, 3:38pm

Hi Dionysis - I’m back once again, trying to create a standalone on Mac OS 11.6.7 Big Sur, using your code on Github dated 1st June. After a fresh download of your code bundle from Github, I need to reassure Mac OS that sclang and scsynth are not security risks. Having done this, I obtain the following output on Terminal. Very grateful for your advice and help. (Is the standalone creation completely insulated from the normal Supercollider resources that I am running on my laptop? If not, could there be some problem here?) Thanks again - Paul

Hello,

In theory it should be completely insulated yes. It is complaining about the plugin folder specifically but I downloaded it on my machine (M1 with Monterey) and it worked fine…

You could try creating a temporary user account to test it there maybe… ?

Paul_Rhys · August 4, 2022, 6:44pm

Thanks for getting back to me so swiftly. Yes, I will try creating a new temporary user account on my laptop and test it there. It is also time I updated to Monterey, so that’s another option too. Thank you.

Paul_Rhys · August 9, 2022, 3:40pm

After upgrading to Monterey and creating a separate user account on my laptop, the Standalone has worked successfully. Currently in the process of selecting the best settings for Platypus, and may return to ask your advice on this. Thank you!
