How to build MiniDexed on a RASPI 4 ?

[Mistahbrock]

Hello people, I have a hard time compiling MiniDexed on my RPI 4 running Ubuntu.

The link to build.yml is broken and I get a
"Error: Unable to determine include path for stddef.h, exiting
STDDEF_INCPATH is ""

Does anyone have a working procedure for compiling this ?

Best regards, Ole

I have never tried to compile it on a Raspberry Pi. We build it on GitHub Actions. So I don't know.

Whilst not an official answer, this is what I had to do last time my Ubuntu VM broke and I had to rebuild it for MiniDexed building :)

As I say though, this is in a VM not on a Pi.

To build under this setup, I use build.sh in the MiniDexed directory once RPI= has been set.

Hi, maintainer of circle-stdlib here, which is used in the MiniDexed build.

Hello people, I have a hard time compiling MiniDexed on my RPI 4 running Ubuntu.

I never built circle-stdlib on an RPI myself, but I have reports from users that this is possible with the correct toolchain.

The link to build.yml is broken and I get a "Error: Unable to determine include path for stddef.h, exiting STDDEF_INCPATH is ""

This is an error message from circle-stdlib's configure script. It looks like you didn't set up your toolchain correctly or that you did not set the --prefix option for the configure script for specifying the compiler prefix.

I would first try to do a circle-stdlib standalone build according to the instructions here: https://github.com/smuehlst/circle-stdlib#building-the-libraries. Once you figured that out, you probably can also run the MiniDexed build successfully.
