@omar after I wrote the previous tooth I took a very long walk with my wife and my dog. We discussed the situation and I realized that I'll enjoy more writing Ilustrator/Photoshop alternative than spend days or months in Windows, debugging something I hate. That resulted in https://github.com/maolan/maolan/commit/2815992fcb2ef9b9de772e5788dde086dda7b0a4 so once I'm satisfied with Maolan and I make the first song in it, I'll switch to photo editing software. In other words, thank you for making me rethink my decisions.

@hayzam @haddock I ran it with more than 1 CPU.

windows

@omar because my wife is tied to windows and I have to exchange sessions with her. I'm doing all the music, she's writing lyrics, and doing photo/video. If she had Photoshop and Lightroom alternative on Linux or BSD, I wouldn't care about other operating systems

I'm devastated! I made https://github.com/maolan/maolan work on #FreeBSD and #Linux in about 2.5 months, but I can't make it work on #Windows with VST3. I'm banging my head for the last month on what to try next and I'm afraid I spent more time in windbgx than in any debugger EVER! If you're willing to send a patch or tell me what to do to make it work on Windows, I'll be more than grateful!

As long as I needed to support Al other operating systems in mailman I need just for windows. And it still doesn't work. I hate COM objects!

@existentialcomics but did he invent it? Which is even worse

@iamleot wait a minute, this might be bhyve bug:

Assertion failed: (error == 0), function modify_bar_registration, file /usr/src/usr.sbin/bhyve/pci_emul.c, line 706.

I wonder why only NetBSD exerts this problem. That being said, as bhyve crashes, my VNC dies, so I can't take the screenshot. Probably not even needed, as it's not NetBSD problem (I'm just guessing).

Can somebody help me with #NetBSD running in #FreeBSD bhyve? When I run startx inside NetBSD I get kernel panic (in the VM, not host). This is my command:

netbsd

I tried to support #OpenBSD with Maolan, but I failed. The iced doesn't use WGPU on this operating system, and using tiny-skia doesn't show the window in my VM. If anybody patches iced/WGPU on OpenBSD, I'd be grateful if they would let me know so I can try again.

@gnemmi the rust on dfbsd is too old. Is there a way to upgrade it without compiling from ports? In short, this is the error I get

cargo build
error: failed to parse manifest at `/home/meka/repos/maolan/Cargo.toml`

Caused by:
feature `edition2024` is required

The package requires the Cargo feature called `edition2024`, but that feature is not stabilized in this version of Cargo (1.79.0).
Consider trying a newer version of Cargo (this may require the nightly release).
See https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/cargo/reference/unstable.html#edition-2024 for more information about the status of this feature.

@harald that should be fixed now. What OS did you try it on?

https://github.com/maolan/maolan is feature complete, now I'm working on bugs that appear on #FreeBSD. Once that's done, #Linux is next, then #Windows and then other BSDs and Illumos. I can't want to release version 0.0.1 😃

@gnemmi I will need testers once I'm satisfied with how it works for me

@gnemmi good suggestion. I'll add Dragonfly sad support once I finish my current tasks

I started working on my implementation of #audio and #music production software (aka DAW) called Maolan. It supports #FreeBSD and #Linux, with experimental support for #Mac and #Windows. I am currently working on support for #NetBSD and #OpenBSD. When I get it to work on all the mentioned OSes at least in virtual machine, #Solaris is next. Once the core architecture is in place, contributions will be more than welcome. Stay tuned.
