Building from source

Linux (Ubuntu)

Install libraries for the sample engine (use brew on mac, MinGW on win):

$ sudo apt install libsndfile1-dev portaudio19-dev liblo-dev libfftw3-dev

Install dependencies for the interface:

$ sudo apt install build-essential qtcreator qt5-default

On ubuntu 22.04 it's:

$ apt install build-essential qtbase5-dev qtchooser qt5-qmake qtbase5-dev-tools

Build & run it:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ qmake ..
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ samplebrain

Install libraries for sample engine:

$ brew install fftw portaudio liblo libsndfile

Install dependencies for the interface:

$ brew install qt
$ brew link qt

Build & run it:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ qmake ..
$ make

samplebrain.app should then be in the app folder for you to run.

To make a mac app bundle:

Run macdeployqt which copies all dependencies inside the app.

$ cd build
$ macdeployqt

If the icon is not visible, you might need to copy desktop/samplebrain.icns (the icon) to the Resources directory in the app bundle.

$ cp ../desktop/samplebrain.icns samplebrain.app/Contents/Resources

Then edit Info.plist to add samplebrain.icns to CFBundleIconFile. Key CFBundleIconFile should match:

<key>CFBundleIconFile</key>
<string>samplebrain.icns</string>

You might also need to resign the app bundle after making any changes

$ codesign --force --deep --sign - samplebrain.app
