Building 0.9.4 release on Win32 - how to properly compile with Portaudio?

I started out from the http://trac.assembla.com/hydrogen/wiki/coding%3Apackagingwin guide and made a few changes along the way.

1. I used the 2009 Sep 14 sources from the main download page:

http://prdownloads.sf.net/hydrogen/hydrogen-0.9.4.tar.gz?download

2. I installed the QTCreator bundle and added QT and mingw32 to my path.

http://www.qtsoftware.com/downloads/sdk-windows-cpp

3. Installed pthreads as described and linked on the following page. Probably redundant, but I also installed duplicate copies of the files in the /mingw32 subfolders as well as /mingw.

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythTV_on_Windows#libpthread

4. Installed libarchive to:

C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libarchive.htm

I did have to edit C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\include\archive_entry.h Line 325:

REPLACE:

LIBARCHIVE_DLL_IMPEXP struct archive_entry_linkresolver;

WITH:

struct archive_entry_linkresolver;

5. Install libsndfile to:

C:\Program Files\Mega-Nerd\libsndfile

http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/#Download

6. I wasn't able to find Linux version.cpp and config.h files, so I attempted to create them manually copying from Sconstruct.

(Note that my Qt path in on D: rather than the default C:. Change your file to match your own installation path, if you're following along.)

*This may be where I left out something to include Portaudio. Please let me know if there is a line I can add to this file for Portaudio. I would also appreciate if someone could post a link or copy of their Linux version.cpp and config.h files.

config.h

#ifndef HYD_CONFIG_H
#define HYD_CONFIG_H
#include

#define CONFIG_DEBUG

#ifndef QT_BEGIN_NAMESPACE
# define QT_BEGIN_NAMESPACE
#endif
#ifndef QT_END_NAMESPACE
# define QT_END_NAMESPACE
#endif

#define CONFIG_PREFIX "D:\Qt\hydrogen-0.9.4"
#define DATA_PATH "D:\Qt\hydrogen-0.9.4\data"

#endif

version.cpp

#include "version.h"
#include "config.h"

static const std::string VERSION = "0.9.4";
std::string get_version() { return VERSION; }

7a. Following the http://trac.assembla.com/hydrogen/wiki/coding%3Apackagingwin guide, I did disable portaudio the first time through. After that, I made the following edits in an attempt to get portaudio working:

gui.pro win32 section, near line 30:

INCLUDEPATH += ../portaudio

near line 35:

LIBS += "D:\Qt\2010.02.1\mingw\bin\portaudio_x86.dll"

features.pri win32 section, line 51:

H2DEFINES += PORTAUDIO_SUPPORT

7b.Downloaded http://trac.jackaudio.org/log/jack2/branches/windows/windows/Release/bin/portaudio_x86.dll?rev=2552 rev 2552 06/20/08 and put it in:

\mingw\bin
\mingw\mingw32\bin

I also use this portaudio_x86.dll file in the final running hydrogen.exe folder.

7c. Downloaded portaudio http://www.portaudio.com/archives/pa_stable_v19_20071207.tar.gz and put the extracted \portaudio folder into the main hydrogen-0.9.4 folder

7d. from the extracted folder I copied portaudio\include\portaudio.h as well as the other "win" files to the mingw\include and mingw32\include folders.

* Did I put the portaudio folder in the wrong location? Should it be in another subfolder?

* Will using the rev2552 portaudio_x86.dll in the mingw folder as well as the final hydrogen.exe running folder cause a conflict with the 20071207 source?

8. I edited gui\src\PlaylistEditor\PlaylistDialog.cpp to comment out lines 163 -173 (addSongBTN to clearPlBTN), to avoid "not declared in this scope" errors.

9. gui.pro around line 33 updated to reflect my paths to .dlls

LIBS += "C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\lib\libarchive.lib"
LIBS += "D:\Qt\2010.02.1\mingw\lib\libpthread.a"
LIBS += "D:\Qt\2010.02.1\mingw\bin\libsndfile-1.dll"

10. manually edited in patches from patches\portaudio.patch to:

libs/hydrogen/src/IO/PortAudioDriver.h
libs/hydrogen/src/IO/portaudio_driver.cpp

11. In QTCreator I opened all.pro the did "Run qmake"

12. from the command prompt in the hydrogen directory I entered:

mingw32-make

Alternatively, I also tried Build All in QTCreator with the same result.

13a. I copied the resulting folders and file to a new program folder:

Hydrogen.exe
/data
/plugins

13b. I added various dlls from the previously downloaded files and packages

libsndfile-1.dll
from C:\Program Files\Mega-Nerd\libsndfile

libarchive2.dll
bzip2.dll
zlib1.dll
from C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin

mingwm10.dll
QtCore4.dll
QtGui4.dll
QtNetwork4.dll
QtSvg4.dll
QtXml4.dll
from D:\Qt\2010.02.1\qt\bin

portaudio_x86.dll
downloaded from jackaudio.org
(I also tried renaming it to just portaudio.dll without success.)

pthreadGC2.dll
downloaded from redhat.com via the mythtv.org link
(I wondered if this might need to be renamed or if I should use an older version, since the old 2006 build comes with pthreadGC1.dll)

14. THAT'S IT. Running Hydrogen.exe launches the program and it seems to run, but there is no sound. Going into Preferences, Audio System and selecting PortAudio shows a "Not Compiled" message.

Any suggestions on where to go from here to get portaudio compiling and working right? What's the correct path for the extracted \portaudio folder? Which files do I need in \mingw and/or \mingw32? What changes do I need in config.h?

Thanks for your help.

Almost forgot to mention, I do get this warning during the compile:

src\hydrogen.cpp: In function 'void H2Core::audioEngine_seek(long long int, bool)':
src\hydrogen.cpp:590: warning: unknown conversion type character 'l' in format
src\hydrogen.cpp:590: warning: format '%d' expects type 'int', but argument 3 has type 'long long int'
src\hydrogen.cpp:590: warning: too many arguments for format

Thanks for your reply, mauser. From your results, it sounds like portaudio support may not work at all with the 0.9.4 Release build on Windows.

I would still appreciate your specific advice and details on properly compiling hydrogen with portaudio. I look forward to hearing from you next week when you can access your Windows PC.

* Is this what you mean by defining PORTAUDIO_SUPPORT or do I need to edit defines in other files?

features.pri win32 section, line 51:

H2DEFINES += PORTAUDIO_SUPPORT

(uncommented, by removing #)

I also tried moving the \portaudio folder (full extracted contents of pa_stable_v19_20071207.tar.gz) to the following folder:

\hydrogen-0.9.4\libs\hydrogen\include\portaudio

in gui.pro I added these lines:

INCLUDEPATH += ../libs/hydrogen/include/portaudio

LIBS += "D:\Qt\2010.02.1\mingw\bin\portaudio_x86.dll"

* Is that the correct location? If not, what is the correct path?

* Do I have to run qmake and mingw32-make in the \portaudio folder first, before running qmake and mingw32-make in the main hydrogen directory?

I also added the same \portaudio folder to (although this is probably wrong):

qt\src\3rdparty\portaudio
mingw\include\portaudio

As before I have copied the following files to my Qt folder (also to mingw32):

\mingw\bin\portaudio_x86.dll
mingw\include\portaudio.h
mingw\include\pa_win_ds.h
mingw\include\pa_win_waveformat.h
mingw\include\pa_win_wmme.h

Even with these changes, the PortAudio Driver still does not work and says "Not Compiled".

I look forward to hearing exactly the process you used to include Portaudio, such as your exact file edits, full path for the extracted \portaudio folder and the placement of all portaudio files in the \qt and \mingw folders.

Thank you.

Thanks again, Sebastian. Working from your files, I was able to successfully compile 0.9.4.1 Release with Portaudio support. It does play sound with .wav only drum kits. I didn't test much but the basic functions seem to work, edit patterns, songs, load and save, etc.

Now, I've been trying to enable FLAC support without any luck.

I am seeing compile errors such as these:

---------------------------------------------------------------------

../libs/liblibhydrogen.a(flac_file.o): In function `FLACFile_real':
D:\Qt\hydrogen-0.9.4.1\libs\hydrogen/src/flac_file.cpp:71: undefined reference t

Decoder::File::init_ogg(std::string const&)'

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I have enabled FLAC support in the features.pri

win32 {
H2DEFINES += FLAC_SUPPORT

I'm using http://sourceforge.net/projects/flac/files/flac-win/flac-1.2.1-win/flac-1.2.1-devel-win.zip/download which contains:

.h headers in:

/include/FLAC
include/FLAC++
/include/ogg

.dll, .lib and _static.lib in:

/lib

I put this /flac-1.2.1-win folder in my /hydrogen project root folder and tried to duplicate the includes that made Portaudio work.

I've tried variations of absolute and relative links with includes. I've tried including .lib, _static.lib and .dll individually and in combination, but nothing seems to work.

in hydrogen.pro and gui.pro I have tried various combinations like these:

INCLUDEPATH += ../../flac-1.2.1-devel-win/include
INCLUDEPATH += ../../flac-1.2.1-devel-win/lib
INCLUDEPATH += ../../flac-1.2.1-devel-win

win32 {
LIBS += "D:\Qt\hydrogen-0.9.4.1\flac-1.2.1-devel-win\lib\libFLAC.dll"
LIBS += "D:\Qt\hydrogen-0.9.4.1\flac-1.2.1-devel-win\lib\libFLAC++.dll"
LIBS += "D:\Qt\hydrogen-0.9.4.1\flac-1.2.1-devel-win\lib\libFLAC.lib"
LIBS += "D:\Qt\hydrogen-0.9.4.1\flac-1.2.1-devel-win\lib\libFLAC++.lib"
LIBS += "D:\Qt\hydrogen-0.9.4.1\flac-1.2.1-devel-win\lib\libFLAC_static.lib"
LIBS += "D:\Qt\hydrogen-0.9.4.1\flac-1.2.1-devel-win\lib\libFLAC++_static.lib"
LIBS += "D:\Qt\hydrogen-0.9.4.1\flac-1.2.1-devel-win\lib\ogg_static.lib

I also tried variations on the includes in flac_file.cpp, such as:

#include "FLAC/all.h"
#include "FLAC++/all.h"
#include "ogg/ogg.h"

#include
#include
#include

----------------------------

I didn't try any of these, but I see the commented out section in gui.pro:

#old windows libs..
#LIBS += ../libflac++.lib ../libflac++_dynamic.lib ../libflac++_static.lib ../libflac.lib winmm.lib
#LIBS += ../libflac++_static.lib ../libflac_static.lib winmm.lib
#LIBS += ../optarg.lib
#LIBS += ../ogg_static.lib

The old 20060309 build does have FLAC support and it seems to be static, since there are no FLAC .dlls with the installed Hydrogen.exe.

Does anyone have any ideas about including these FLAC .dll and/or .lib files?

I have FLAC 1.2.1 support now working after patching a number of the FLAC source files to compile with MinGW.
