MusE Sequencer • Tip for users on Debian Testing/Trixie

Muse DAW still works fine, but I got problems loading the Surge plugin (still running 1.7.1).

MusE error message:

lilv_lib_open(): error: Failed to open library /usr/lib/lv2/Surge.lv2/Surge.so (/usr/lib/lv2/Surge.lv2/Surge.so: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Invalid argument)

So we need to clear the flag in Surge.so indicating it needs an "executable stack".

Problem is, the execstack command is (no longer) available in Debian Trixie.

I found this replacement, which is easily compiled using cc: https://github.com/skeeto/scratch/blob/ ... xecstack.c

Then run

sudo ./a.out -c /usr/lib/lv2/Surge.lv2/Surge.so

to make it work again.
