Plugins are not found #4

I tried to install Ildaeil, but when I run it (inside Bespoke), I get an error "There are no LV2 audio plugins on this sytem".

But I do have many lv2 plugins, and they are detected in Carla (ok, in carla I need to configure the paths), Ardour, lv2ls…:

$ lv2ls 
http://arcticanaudio.com/plugins/thefunction
http://arcticanaudio.com/plugins/thepilgrim
http://au.tomatl.org/essp
http://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/Analyzer
http://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/BassEnhancer
http://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/CompensationDelay
http://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/Compressor
http://calf.sourceforge.net/plugins/Crusher
[...]

In which path is Ildaeil searching for the plugins? Is it looking for the environment variable $LV2_PATH?

$ echo $LV2_PATH
~/.nix-profile/lib/lv2/:~/.lv2:/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/lib/lv2:/var/run/current-system/sw/lib/lv2

EDIT

It seems plugins are found if they are in ~/.lv2. However, it would be better to also look for the $LV2_PATH which seems to be more standard.

Yeah this is a bug, it should be using LV2_PATH but instead it uses an internal var. Try changing the line https://github.com/DISTRHO/Ildaeil/blob/main/plugins/Common/IldaeilUI.cpp#L498 and replacing nullptr with getenv("LV2_PATH"). Let me know if that improves things, thanks.

This works perfectly, thanks!
