Raspberry Pi and Supernova

Development
1

Did anyone have success with using the Supernova server on Raspberry Pi?
In README_RASPBERRY_PI.md compiling Supernova is disabled:

# For a GUI-less build:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DSUPERNOVA=OFF -DSC_ED=OFF -DSC_EL=OFF -DSC_VIM=ON -DNATIVE=ON \
    -DSC_IDE=OFF -DNO_X11=ON -DSC_QT=OFF ..

I compiled Supernova successfully using -DSUPERNOVA=ON, but when I do

Server.supernova;
s.boot;

I get the following error:

Supernova booting
Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory
Cannot connect to server request channel
jack server is not running or cannot be started
JackShmReadWritePtr::~JackShmReadWritePtr - Init not done for -1, skipping unlock
JackShmReadWritePtr::~JackShmReadWritePtr - Init not done for -1, skipping unlock

*** ERROR: could not start audio backend: Unable to connect to JACK server
Server 'localhost' exited with exit code 0.

Silly question but did you boot jack before starting the server ? That might help

I will try, but when using scsynth jack is automatically booted. But it might be different for Supernova.

As far as I remember that’s a difference between scsynth and supernova on Linux - supernova does not start jack automatically.

Thanks, it worked when starting jack manually, pretty silly of me :slight_smile:
