Problems with JUCE-dependency in rt-wdf_renderer-Project on Manjaro

Linux
1

Hi there,

I’m planing on experimenting with the Wave Digital Filter library as described here. I’m running Manjaro-Linux, so I’m on an Arch-based distro.

As an initial step I want to build the linux makefile from the rt-wdf_renderer repository. After following the instructions from the documentation (cloning the repository, installing the dependencies using git submodule init and git submodule update, installing the armadillo-library), when I run make inside /Builds/LinuxMakefile, I get the following errors:

As this was already discussed here, I tried to patch the juce_PixelFormats.h-File and the juce_RenderingHelpers.h-File with the code from the developement branch. This “solved” the error-message above, but gave me a series of error-messages so long, that I hesitate to post all of them here. Here are some excrepts:

../../../Libs/JUCE/modules/juce_graphics/colour/juce_Colour.h:121:22: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘argb’
  121 |     Colour (PixelARGB argb) noexcept;

…

  139 |         juce::LeakedObjectDetector<OwnerClass> JUCE_JOIN_MACRO (leakDetector, __LINE__);

…
most of them evolving around the juce_LeakedObjectDetector.h-Header.

I haven’t changed anything in the other files, and directely followed the instructions on the libraries github-page. Can anyone see my mistake or have any idea what might be wrong?

I’m fairly new to JUCE, which means it could be a pretty silly mistake. If that’s the case, please forgive me for the noob-question :wink:

Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help me fix this and continue with my project!
