Dear Cabbage farmers, I’ve been trying to get Cabbage to work on my Raspberry Pi 2. I’ve installed all the dependecies but I get serious errors, and don’t know how to deal with them. Any advice would be much appreciated! This is the first error I get, many more like this one follow: Compiling ComponentLayoutEditor.cpp cc1plus: error: bad value (native) for -march switch I’m running Raspbian (not sure which version, not yet fully up to speed with Linux). Thanks, RM PS. Rory, thank you for making CSound so much fun again! ---

Hi, What version of g++ do you have? You’ll have to modify the Makefiles. I’ve found this on the [raspberrypi.org](http://raspberrypi.org) forum: For gcc 4.8 I use gcc-4.8 -mcpu=cortex-a7 -mfpu=neon-vfpv4 -mfloat-abi=hard This gave me the best code and was the only option that enabled sdiv/udiv. To get gcc 4.8 just do sudo apt-get install gcc-4.8 For gcc 4.6 (the default compiler on rasbian) gcc -march=armv7-a -mfpu=neon-vfpv4 -mfloat-abi=hard For a Pi 1 (B+) gcc -mcpu=arm1176jzf-s -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard ---

Best to change the arch flags in the makefiles. I haven’t used Cabbage on a PI myself, but I know someone who is using Cabbage and PI for live music, so it definitely works. Good luck with your Cabbage Pie! ---

Thanks for the tips! They helped me a lot. I managed to build Cabbage! 😄 The only problem now is that the UI doesn’t get updated properly. So menus pile up on top of each other. When I load an example the window size will change but it still show the start-up screen. Also I cannot get the source editor to open up. Any ideas? I’ll leave a note of what worked to build on Raspbian for reference. I had to update gcc and g++ to version 4.8 sudo apt-get install gcc-4.8 sudo apt-get install g+±4.8 I then changed the symlinks to gcc and g++ to point to the 4.8 versions, so that the gcc and g++ commands pick the right version. rm /usr/bin/gcc rm /usr/bin/g++ ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.8 /usr/bin/gcc ln -s /usr/bin/g+±4.8 /usr/bin/g++ Also make sure to have the correct version of CSound installed (the default was 5.x, and 6.0.3 is needed). Building CSound is easy, just follow these instructions: [http://ikenberrypi.tumblr.com/post/90967171834/compiling-csound-6-on-the-raspberry-pi](http://ikenberrypi.tumblr.com/post/90967171834/compiling-csound-6-on-the-raspberry-pi) The last thing is to make sure the VST SDK is at ~/SDKs/vstsdk2.4 I was not able to make it work with any other location, some Juce sources would fail. ---

I’ve just emailed one of the guys who had it running as part of a live setup. I’ll let you know what he gets back to me with, or perhaps he’ll join the discussion directly. ---

Hi I am about to TRY to compile Cabbage for Raspberry Pi 3 with Csound 6.08 Can someone give me some caveats before i go down a painful rabbit hole with this? I have SuperCollider + Pure Data working plus some python audio apps but i would like to bring my csound skills back up from the ancient days So Dr. B recommended cabbage. Will it work? ---

I believe people have got it running there before. I’ve built Csound before, that should be fine. Just follow the Linux guidelines and you might get lucky! ---

I’ve been able to build Csound quite easily on MacOS & Arch. Arch was a bit easier. I have yet to build Cabbage however. Fun thing about DIY building is you can checkout branches and test new features. ---

I think it should build relatively easily on RPi. Let us know how it goes. I’m pi-less for the next few weeks so I won’t be able to try it out myself. ---

Pi-less during Christmas? Sounds like a good present! 🙂 ---

Really? I do most of my testing and development on a 4gb i3 laptop(Linux) and I’ve never been horrified by the performance. I also have access to more powerful machines, but I reckon a RPi might not be the worst 😉
