I wrote up the steps I took to get Tidal up and running on Arch Linux, a process that’s gotten considerably easier since the first time I did it Hope it will be useful for somebody!
Thanks for sharing this. I use almost the exact same setup on Arch. The haskell-tidal package really is a life saver as I could never get Tidal to compile without errors.
Indeed... I was so happy when I discovered the package in AUR! I've been away from Tidal for some time now, and I did manage to get it up and running on my previous arch install a couple of years ago, but there was a lot of fiddling going on with ghc-static libs and whatnot to make it compile... I'm also super happy that tmux is no longer a requirement for making it run in nvim!
What I'll like to do is getting it to work in tandem with a script for running supercollider server in the background. Someone has an idea on how to implement this?
One of the key features of using nvim is that you don't need tmux since neovim can embed a terminal natively thus simplifying your plumbing requirement significantly - my understanding is you are bypassing this feature though?
Sure, but my comments where for myself, not for newcomers. In general, my rule of thumb is, use (small) applications that are made for the task. Tmux is made to manage terminals, so I do use that. Tmux itself is not hard, but it has a learning curve. You've to set down and learn some basic shortcuts, before it becomes useful. https://leanpub.com/the-tao-of-tmux/read
No problem, but you've shared quite a deal of setup code to a public forum so you'll have to forgive me for thinking that it was going to be targeted at more than personal use.
Fwiw I'm a daily tmux user of about 10 years (work context), but I still prefer the neovim terminal containment for tidalling
