Hi IOhannes, libfaustwithllvm.a library is a way to ease use of libfaust, without having the use to install/compile LLVM on its own.
as said before: this is not an issue on Debian.i can make sure that 'apt install faust' will end up with a working LLVM toolchain.
i *already* make sure that 'apt install faust' has a working compiler.
We correctly use in faustgen~ (where we really need to link LLVM statically),
but as I said: does your faustgen~ work on Linux?
but also FaustLive on Windows AFAICS
but then: what about Linux?
Embedding LLVM in a library is not so unusual as Cmajor project also demonstrates: https://github.com/SoundStacks/cmajor, with a 143 MO binary on macOS.
but again: not on Linux.i'm really talking about the 'faust' package for the Debian GNU/Linux distributions.
so far, all the use-cases for this library appear to be non-linux.grepping for "withllvm" on the files installed by the current package yields 0 (zero) results (unlike grepping in the sources, of course).
which functionality will break if i drop this library from the package?if there is *some* functionality (and please tell me), then I might consider shipping the library in a supplementary package (that people can choose to install).
So I would suggest to but another harddisk !?
nah, seriously. my little /user/-story was anecdotical (and hence in parens).i'm much more concerned about people with modest hardware who are not having a university job in a well-paying 1st world country like austria, and who just want to install faust on their RPi0 with 'apt install faust'
