RNBO Max Adapter Code

Building for Development

We use CMake and Conan to build our externals. You'll also need some exported c++ source from a rnbo patcher.

There are a few varaibles you might like to set with CMake:

• RNBO_CPP_DIR
• RNBO_CLASS_FILE
• RNBO_DESCRIPTION_FILE
• RNBO_WRAPPER_HAS_AUDIO
• RNBO_WRAPPER_HAS_MSG_OUT
• RNBO_WRAPPER_INC_TRANSPORT_ATTR
• EXTERN_OUTPUT_NAME
• CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE

Here is an example of how I build for debugging with Xcode:

cd external
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G Xcode -DEXTERN_OUTPUT_NAME="foo~" -DRNBO_WRAPPER_HAS_AUDIO=True -DRNBO_WRAPPER_HAS_MSG_OUT=True \
    -DRNBO_CPP_DIR=/Users/xnor/dev/rnbo.core/src/cpp/ \
    -DRNBO_CLASS_FILE=/Users/xnor/Documents/export/bufferplayer/rnbo_source.cpp \
    -DRNBO_DESCRIPTION_FILE=/Users/xnor/Documents/export/bufferplayer/description.json
cmake --build .

You can also use ccmake or cmake-gui to set these values interatively.

Notes

To easily load an external after I've built it, I created a symlink to my build folder from the Max Packages directory:

/Users/xnor/Documents/Max 8/Packages/rnbo-extern-debug -> /Users/xnor/dev/rnbo.core/src/cpp/adapters/max/external/build

This lets Max find the built external and allows you to hit breakpoints in the external code from your debugger.
