Important Note

This repository is only getting mirrored to GitHub. Since April 2023, the "main" hosting location is https://sr.ht/~hannes/airwindows-lv2. I'll still keep the GitHub mirror up-to-date for some time and you can still open issues and pull requests on GitHub, if you prefer that. If you'd like to do me a favor though, submit the issue/patch to the airwindows-lv2-devel mailing list on SourceHut. Thanks!

Installation

There are different methods for installing these plugins. Some of them are listed in the following.

Pre-built versions

Download the latest pre-built version from SourceHut. Click on the latest version (e.g. v18.0) and you should find the downloads for macOS and Windows.

These plugins are bundeled within a single directory called Airwindows.lv2. Just copy or move this directory to the appropriate path for your system:

• Linux: /usr/local/lib/lv2
• macOS: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/LV2
• Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\LV2

If you're using Linux, please consider packaging this software, so you can install it through your system's package manager. If you've got problems doing this, let me know on the airwindows-lv2-devel mailing list and I'll try to help you packaging. In the following Linux distributions, airwindows-lv2 is already available through your package manager:

• openSUSE Tumbleweed (as lv2-airwindows)
• NixOS

Building the plugins yourself

You can also build and install the plugins yourself as described in Building.

Building

Meson, LV2 and a C compiler are required to build this project. Setup the build directory as follows:

meson setup build

# Alternative: use a custom LV2 plugin directoy
# For installing the plugins into the user library on macOS:
meson setup build -Dlv2dir=/Users/<username>/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/LV2

Compile and install the plugins:

meson compile -C build
meson install -C build

If you have problems with building this project, have a look at the CI build instructions. Those might be helpful.
