RapidLib on Bela for embedded interactive machine learning

jarm · Jul 12, 2022

I have started exploring RapidLib for doing 'IML' on Bela

https://github.com/jarmitage/RapidLibBela

I added a "release" uploading my built files so that others could try it: https://github.com/jarmitage/RapidLibBela/releases/tag/v0.1.0-bela

But when I try this myself on another Bela (running the same image and IDE, and with the appropriate Make Params) it says that it can't find librapidLib.so. I changed the permissions of the whole dir with chmod -R +x RapidLib but that didn't help.

Is there some other reason why another Bela can't use the library built on another device?

jarm Is there some other reason why another Bela can't use the library built on another device?

no. But there may be reasons why the library cannot be found. Where do you place the library? You will need to place it in one of the usual places (e.g.: /usr/local/lib ) and run ldconfig after that to rebuild the library cache.

giuliomoro ahhh jeez forgot the ldconfig, it was probably that...!

Indeed you were correct! Updated the README

I see you are building this with cmake. Perhaps the best option for shipping it would be to use cpack to create a .deb package and distribute that. This may even be clever enough to run ldconfig for you, or there may be some way of adding it as an extra step upon install. Here's how I use it elsewhere https://github.com/supercollider/supercollider/blob/develop/README_BELA.md#building-a-debian-package-for-bela
