bbbradsmith a37260bcaa Move pattern finishSelection out of SDL-triggered pointUp, and replace with ImGui release trigger in drawPattern. This prevents down/up events from being processed out of order by two separate event systems, causing selection to be stuck on if the up event is recieved within 1 frame of the down event.

packages

Packaging status

some people have provided packages for Unix/Unix-like distributions. here's a list.

  • Arch Linux: furnace is in the official repositories.
  • FreeBSD: a package in ports is available courtesy of ehaupt (warning: 0.5.8!).
  • Nix: package thanks to OPNA2608.
  • openSUSE: a package is available, courtesy of fpesari.

developer info

Build furnace

if you can't download these artifacts (because GitHub requires you to be logged in), go here instead.

NOTE: do not download the project's source as a .zip or .tar.gz as these do not include the project's submodules which are necessary to proceed with building. please instead use Git as shown below.

dependencies

  • CMake
  • Git (for cloning the repository)
  • JACK (optional, macOS/Linux only)
  • a C/C++ compiler (e.g. Visual Studio or MinGW on Windows, Xcode (the command-line tools are enough) on macOS or GCC on Linux)

if building under Windows or macOS, no additional dependencies are required. otherwise, you may also need the following:

  • libpulse
  • libx11
  • libasound
  • libGL

some Linux distributions (e.g. Ubuntu or openSUSE) will require you to install the -dev versions of these.

getting the source

type the following on a terminal/console: (make sure Git is installed)

git clone --recursive https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace.git
cd furnace

(the --recursive parameter ensures submodules are fetched as well)

compilation

your typical CMake project.

Windows using MSVC

as of now tildearrow uses MinGW for Windows builds, but thanks to OPNA2608 this works again!

from the developer tools command prompt:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

then open the solution file in Visual Studio and build.

alternatively, do:

msbuild ALL_BUILD.vcxproj

Windows using MinGW

setting up MinGW is a bit more complicated. two benefits are a faster, hotter Furnace, and Windows XP support.

however, one huge drawback is lack of backtrace support, so you'll have to use gdb when diagnosing a crash.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" ..
mingw32-make

you may use "MSYS Makefiles" instead, depending on how you installed MinGW.

macOS, Linux and other Unix/Unix-like

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

on macOS you may do the following instead:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G Xcode ..

...and then load the project on Xcode or type xcodebuild.

CMake options

To add an option from the command-line: -D<NAME>=<VALUE>
Example: cmake -DBUILD_GUI=OFF -DWARNINGS_ARE_ERRORS=ON ..

Available options:

Name Default Description
BUILD_GUI ON Build the tracker (disable to build only a headless player)
USE_RTMIDI ON Build with MIDI support using RtMidi
USE_SDL2 ON Build with SDL2 (required to build with GUI)
USE_SNDFILE ON Build with libsndfile (required in order to work with audio files)
USE_BACKWARD ON Use backward-cpp to print a backtrace on crash/abort
WITH_JACK ON if system-installed JACK detected, otherwise OFF Whether to build with JACK support. Auto-detects if JACK is available
SYSTEM_FFTW OFF Use a system-installed version of FFTW instead of the vendored one
SYSTEM_FMT OFF Use a system-installed version of fmt instead of the vendored one
SYSTEM_LIBSNDFILE OFF Use a system-installed version of libsndfile instead of the vendored one
SYSTEM_RTMIDI OFF Use a system-installed version of RtMidi instead of the vendored one
SYSTEM_ZLIB OFF Use a system-installed version of zlib instead of the vendored one
SYSTEM_SDL2 OFF Use a system-installed version of SDL2 instead of the vendored one
SUPPORT_XP OFF Build a Windows XP-compatible binary
WARNINGS_ARE_ERRORS OFF (but consider enabling this & reporting any errors that arise from it!) Whether warnings in furnace's C++ code should be treated as errors
WITH_DEMOS ON Install demo songs on make install
WITH_INSTRUMENTS ON Install demo instruments on make install
WITH_WAVETABLES ON Install wavetables on make install

console usage

(note: if on Windows, type furnace.exe instead, or Debug\furnace.exe on MSVC)

./furnace

this opens the program.

./furnace -console <file>

this will play a compatible file.

./furnace -console -view commands <file>

this will play a compatible file and enable the commands view.

note that console mode may not work correctly on Windows. you may have to quit using the Task Manager.

frequently asked questions

it doesn't open under macOS!

this is due to Apple's application signing policy. a workaround is to right click on the Furnace app icon and select Open.

it says "Furnace" is damaged and can't be opened!

as of Monterey, this workaround no longer works (especially on ARM). yeah, Apple has decided to be strict on the matter. if you happen to be on that version, use this workaround instead (on a Terminal):

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/Furnace.app

(replace /path/to/ with the path where Furnace.app is located)

you may need to log out and/or reboot after doing this.

where's the manual?

see doc/. it's kind of incomplete though.

is there a tutorial?

sadly, the in-program tutorial isn't ready yet. however, a video tutorial is available on YouTube, made by Spinning Square Waves.

I've lost my song!

Furnace keeps backups of the songs you've worked on before. go to file > restore backup.

.spc export?

not yet! coming in 0.7 though, eventually...

ROM export?

not yet! coming in 0.7 though, eventually...

my .dmf song sounds odd at a certain point

Furnace's .dmf compatibility isn't perfect and it's mostly because DefleMask does things different.

my song sounds terrible after saving as .dmf!

you should only save as .dmf if you're really sure, because the DefleMask format has several limitations. save in Furnace song format instead (.fur).
