Zyn-Fusion Build Scripts

These are the build scripts used to generate the Zyn-Fusion packages.

These build scripts (and only these build scripts) are licensed under the WTFPL.

How to build

Zyn-Fusion now uses Makefile. Each platform has a corresponding Makefile (Makefile.<platform>.mk):

Since they are not in the default Makefile name, you need to explicitly specify them via parameter-f when invoking make.

Makefiles will automatically download ZynAddSubFX and Zest, as well as their dependencies. Then, automatically build them altogether.

Built packages are put in directory ./build/ :

• ./build/zyn-fusion: Ready-to-use Zyn-Fusion files. You can directly use them as you wish, or copy this folder into your DAW's search-path.
• ./build/zyn-fusion/zyn-fusion-*.{tar.gz|zip}: Compressed package(s) ready for distribution.

Building for Linux (native build)

Generic

# Install build dependencies
make -f Makefile.linux.mk install_deps

# Start building
make -f Makefile.linux.mk all

# Or, you can also build a specific component,
# then finally use `package` to get a package file
make -f Makefile.linux.mk zynaddsubfx
make -f Makefile.linux.mk zest
make -f Makefile.linux.mk package

NOTICE: You need to run install-linux.sh within the built folder to install Zyn-Fusion properly, or it won't run, moreover you'll only see a black window in your host.

Building for Windows (cross-compile on Linux)

# Install build dependencies
make -f Makefile.windows.mk install_deps

# Start building
make -f Makefile.windows.mk all

# Or, you can also build a specific component,
# then finally use `package` to get a package file
make -f Makefile.windows.mk zynaddsubfx
make -f Makefile.windows.mk zest
make -f Makefile.windows.mk package

Building for Windows (native build via Msys2)

You must install Msys2 first, then remember choosing Mingw-w64 64 bit in MinTTY (you can find it in Start Menu).

The default MSYS environment is based on Cygwin, which won't work!

steps in order to build for windows:

• Download msys2 then open the shell and type those commands respectively:

  • run update pacman -Syu.
  • run pacman -su.

• Open msys2-mingw64 shell from the start menu.

• run pacman -s.

• run pacman --needed -s git mingw-w64-x86-gcc base-devel.

• run pacman mingw-w64-x86-toolchain.

• Add path to bin directory for both msys64 and mingw64 to the system enviroment variables.

  For msys64: ..\msys64\mingw64\bin For mingw64 ...\msys64\usr\bin

Continue with the commands below:

# Install build dependencies
make -f Makefile.mingw64.mk install_deps

# Start building
make -f Makefile.mingw64.mk all

# Or, you can also build a specific component,
# then finally use `package` to get a package file
make -f Makefile.mingw64.mk zynaddsubfx
make -f Makefile.mingw64.mk zest
make -f Makefile.mingw64.mk package

Moreover

• Build types (modes): You can choose either demo or release, and demo is the default. Demo build will automatically mute after 10 minutes.

  You can explicitly specify build type:

  make MODE=release -f Makefile.<platform>.mk <target>

• Get help: You can get a list of make targets by invoking:

  make -f Makefile.<platform>.mk help
