Examples need SoundFont.Ports

[newlandsvalley]

It should work as advertised. I suppose one thing I don't mention is that you can't just load the html of an example directly into a browser - you have to host it on some web server. I use Apache on linux. I find the simplest thing to do is to place a symbolic link to my overall elm development directory inside /var/www, browse to localhost and then just drill down to the html I want to load.

Is this the problem?

Here's what happens when I try to compile the examples:

[rofer@laptop-2017 examples]$ ./compilep.sh
I cannot find module 'SoundFont.Ports'.

Module 'Piano' is trying to import it.

Potential problems could be:

• Misspelled the module name
• Need to add a source directory or new dependency to elm-package.json

A similar thing happens with compilep.sh

I've got a fresh installation of elm 0.18.0 and I already compiled the main project with compile.sh. Is there something I'm missing?

Ah - I see the problem. I had included SoundFont in examples/src but had excluded it in .gitignore. I guess I must have found the necessity of copying the code distasteful. I think I was waiting (in vain) for a resolution of the problem of not being allowed to publish packages with native dependencies.

Can you try it again? Sorry for the pain.

That fixed it, thanks!

There might be an even clear solution with a Git submodules, but I'm not sure. Either ways I'll close this.

Many thanks. Yes, I remember briefly considering Git submodules - these would work, I think. My main issue was that I wanted to publish a general MIDI library but couldn't - I had to split it up into publishable and unpublishable parts.
