lv2plug is a template-based wrapper for writing LV2 plugins. Se the monosynth directory for example usage.
- GCC version 5 or later (C++14)
- The LV2 SDK
- Maike version 0.10.4 or later
- PHP
The project is almost header-only, but has some startup code in static libraries. Also, it features a Maike target hook that needs to be compiled. The project is compiled by running maike from the project root directory.
$ maike
This will write stuff to the __targets directory. The file targetlv2spec.so needs to be copied to a location where Maike looks for target hooks. See the Maike reference for more information about that. The include files in the __targets direcory and the static libraries should be copied into the usual places.
By default, Maike sets the C++ version to at least C++11. If the compiler by default uses a later version, that version is used. This means that for GCC version 5, the version has to be explicitly pushed to C++14. Assuming there is no maikeconfig.json in the current directory (you may cd to monosynth), a suitable configuration file can be done by invoking Maike with appropriate options
$ maike --configdump=maikeconfig.json --no-sysvars --hooks-config='targetcxx_default:["cxxversion_min":201402]'
You will also need to install the target hook for generating the LV2 manifest, and the plug-in descriptor file.
$ maike --configdump=maikeconfig.json --no-sysvars --hooks-load='targetlv2spec:.lv2spec'
If you did this in the monosynth directory, you should now be able to compile the monosynth example.
$ maike
Test the example with
$ ./install.sh && jalv.gtk http://example.org/monosynth
