Compiling FluComa for pd on Bela Gem?

Rodrigo

Has anyone compiled FluCoMa for Bela Gem?

I've used Jack Armitage's compile of FluCoMa for the previous gen Belas (using this, though that won't work with the current architecture.

As far as I understand it, the Gem needs to be plugged in and compiled directly on the device, but I have little-to-no experience compiling things, much less for something niche like this.

Try these archives, see if they works:

https://files.bela.io/flucoma-pd-arm64.zip
https://files.bela.io/flucoma-sc-arm64.zip

Reproducible instructions to build them are below:

Prerequisites:

internet connection on the board

update cmake:

apt-get install -t bookworm-backports cmake

Build flucoma-sc:

Setup

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/BelaPlatform/supercollider/
git clone https://github.com/flucoma/flucoma-sc
cd flucoma-sc
mkdir -p build && cd build

Configure and build:

if you have distcc set up:

cmake -DSC_PATH=/root/supercollider -DDOCS=OFF -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=distcc-clang++ -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=distcc-clang -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-Wno-pedantic -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-Wno-pedantic ..
make -j5

otherwise:

cmake -DSC_PATH=/root/supercollider -DDOCS=OFF  ..
make

Package:

make install/fast
cd ../install
zip -r flucoma-sc-arm64.zip FluidCorpusManipulation

Build flucoma-pd:

Setup

cd ~
git clone --recursive https://github.com/BelaPlatform/libpd/
git clone https://github.com/flucoma/flucoma-pd

Configure and build:

if you have distcc set up:

cmake -DPD_PATH=~/libpd/pure-data -DDOCS=OFF -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=distcc-clang++ -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=distcc-clang -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-Wno-pedantic -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-Wno-pedantic ..
make -j5

otherwise:

cmake -DPD_PATH=~/libpd/pure-data -DDOCS=OFF ..
make

Package:

make install/fast
cd ../release-packaging
zip -r flucoma-pd-arm64.zip FluidCorpusManipulation/

Amazing!

Sadly I'm on the road away from the belas, so will test when I'm back home.

Failing that, the instructions that follow are super clear.

I've not messed with dependencies in the revamped IDE, but is it similar to how it worked on the old bela? (in terms of having FluCoMa being accessible to pd on the bela).

Can confirm that this is working (at least with a couple simple test patches).

I'm not sure if this is the best/intended way to access FluCoMa in pd on the bela but here are the steps I did:

create a new project on the bela (type doesn’t matter but I used C++)
call the project pd-externals
copy the contents of FluidCorpusManipulation (from flucoma-pd-arm64.zip) to project (ignoring sub-folders /data, /docs, /examples, and /media)
create a separate puredata project, the one you plan on using
in the _main.pd file create an object that says declare -lib fluid_libmanipulation
