That .so binary is compiled/linked against library versions that were correct for a different version of Debian.

You could compile the binary yourself with the newer system, or maybe someone else could provide a built binary package of Surge and the libraries required.

Or you could move to a rolling release distro and deal with what some would describe as a lesser evil with it comes to upgrading.

Maybe adding a symbolic link is sufficient.
In the directory where libxcb-util0.so.1 is located:

Code: Select all

sudo ln -s libxcb-util0.so.1 libxcb-util.so.1

I try to compile it, but there's a problem with premake5. I donwloaded the executable and put it into /home/marco/bin

When executing

Code: Select all

./build-linux.sh build
I get

Code: Select all

ERROR: You do not have premake5 on your path

Please download and install premake from https://premake.github.io per the Surge README.md

Code: Select all

which premake5
also gives me nothing. How can I make it find the premake file?

The VST Variant crashes the QT5 Based DAW Muse upon adding it to the arranger and the LV2 misbehaves from time to time. Also, the GUI is kind of slow. However, the sounds are awesome. Here are some crash logs from Muse.

It is also possible to install the self compiled surge in the home directory. It's described in this bug report.
