Building Cagire

Prerequisites

Rust (stable toolchain): https://rustup.rs

System Dependencies

brew install cmake

cmake is required by rusty_link (Ableton Link C++ bindings). Xcode Command Line Tools provide the C++ compiler. CoreAudio and CoreMIDI are built-in. The desktop build needs no additional dependencies on macOS (Cocoa/Metal are provided by the system).

sudo apt install cmake g++ pkg-config libasound2-dev libjack-jackd2-dev

sudo apt install libgl-dev libxkbcommon-dev libx11-dev libxcursor-dev libxrandr-dev libxi-dev libwayland-dev

Linux (Arch)

sudo pacman -S cmake gcc pkgconf alsa-lib jack2

For the desktop build:

sudo pacman -S libxkbcommon libx11 libxcursor libxrandr libxi wayland mesa

Linux (Fedora)

sudo dnf install cmake gcc-c++ pkgconf-pkg-config alsa-lib-devel jack-audio-connection-kit-devel

sudo dnf install libxkbcommon-devel libX11-devel libXcursor-devel libXrandr-devel libXi-devel wayland-devel mesa-libGL-devel
