Mixlab

Digital audio/video workstation. AGPLv3.

Building

Make sure you have wasm-pack installed first: cargo install wasm-pack

Unices

$ make [build]   # build frontend and backend
$ make release   # build frontend and backend in release mode
$ make check     # check frontend and backend
$ make run       # build frontend and run backend

Windows

1. Install Microsoft Visual C++

2. Install LLVM as per the rust-bindgen documentation. Do not install the Mingw64 version from MSYS2's pacman.

3. Install MSYS2 - a distribution of core GNU utilities for Windows. Required for dependencies that have unixy build systems with configure scripts and such.

   https://www.msys2.org/

   Mixlab also requires a few additional packages from pacman, MSYS2's package manager. In an MSYS2 bash session, run:

   $ pacman -S make nasm

4. Open "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt" from the Start Menu, and type:

   > C:\msys64\msys2_shell.cmd -mingw64 -full-path
   

   A bash shell will appear. You will use this bash shell for the rest of the instructions and for building Mixlab.

5. Rename /usr/bin/link.exe to /usr/bin/link2.exe.

   This is pretty gross but as far as I can tell seems to be required to prevent MSYS2's link.exe from clashing with MSVC's. See the "Gotchas" section of http://anadoxin.org/blog/bringing-visual-studio-compiler-into-msys2-environment.html for more information.

6. Set the CC environment variable to cl

   $ export CC=cl

Then run make as described in the Unices section above.

Running

Running the mixlab binary starts an HTTP server on localhost:8000 serving the web UI
