Zyn-Fusion Build Scripts

These are the build scripts used to generate the Zyn-Fusion packages.

These build scripts (and only these build scripts) are licensed under the WTFPL.

Fetch repositories

You need to fetch this repo first (if you're using Windows, see below for how to do it).

git clone https://github.com/zynaddsubfx/zyn-fusion-build zyn-fusion-build

cd zyn-fusion-build

How to build

Zyn-Fusion now uses Makefile. Each platform has a corresponding Makefile (Makefile.<platform>.mk):

Since they are not in the default Makefile name, you need to explicitly specify them via parameter-f when invoking make.

Makefiles will automatically download ZynAddSubFX and Zest, as well as their dependencies. Then, automatically build them altogether.

Built packages are put in directory ./build/ :

• ./build/zyn-fusion: Ready-to-use Zyn-Fusion files. You can directly use them as you wish, or copy this folder into your DAW's search-path.
• ./build/zyn-fusion/zyn-fusion-*.{tar.gz|zip}: Compressed package(s) ready for distribution.

Building for Linux (native build)

Generic

# Install build dependencies
make -f Makefile.linux.mk install_deps

# Start building
PARALLEL=1 make -f Makefile.linux.mk all

# Or, you can also build a specific component,
# then finally use `package` to get a package file
PARALLEL=1 make -f Makefile.linux.mk zynaddsubfx
PARALLEL=1 make -f Makefile.linux.mk zest
make -f Makefile.linux.mk package

NOTICE: You need to run install-linux.sh within the built folder to install Zyn-Fusion properly, or it won't run, moreover you'll only see a black window in your host.

Building for Windows (cross-compile on Linux)

# Install build dependencies
make -f Makefile.windows.mk install_deps

# Start building
PARALLEL=1 make -f Makefile.windows.mk all

# Or, you can also build a specific component,
# then finally use `package` to get a package file
PARALLEL=1 make -f Makefile.windows.mk zynaddsubfx
PARALLEL=1 make -f Makefile.windows.mk zest
PARALLEL=1 make -f Makefile.windows.mk package

Building for Windows (native build via Msys2)

Msys2 installation

You must install Msys2 first. Remember to always use the Mingw64 terminal (you can find it in Start Menu). Any other terminal will not work.

Then finish updating the Msys installation by running in the Mingw64 terminal: pacman -Suy (twice). See https://www.msys2.org/docs/updating/ for details and https://archlinux.org/pacman/pacman.8.html for ̀pacman`.

Bootstrapping

Checking out the code:

pacman -S git make
git clone https://github.com/zynaddsubfx/zyn-fusion-build zyn-fusion-build
cd zyn-fusion-build

Then install the required tools through pacman:

make -f Makefile.mingw64.mk install_deps

Compile ZynFusion

To compile everything:

make -f Makefile.mingw64.mk all

Alternatively you can also build a specific component, then finally use package to get a package file:

make -f Makefile.mingw64.mk zynaddsubfx
make -f Makefile.mingw64.mk zest
make -f Makefile.mingw64.mk package

Moreover

• Build types (modes): You can choose either demo or release, and demo is the default. Demo build will automatically mute after 10 minutes.

  You can explicitly specify build type:

  make MODE=release -f Makefile.<platform>.mk <target>

• Get help: You can get a list of make targets by invoking:

  make -f Makefile.<platform>.mk help
