Use later version of JUCE to compile VST2 without using the official SDK #1

Open fpesari opened 5 years ago

Hello,

JUCE implemented building VSTs without relying on the proprietary Steinberg SDK since version 4.2.4.

Could RPG2A03 be adapted to a later version of JUCE so that it can be built without relying on the Steinberg VST SDK?

If this is done, I will for sure make a package for openSUSE (which can easily be ported for RPM-based distros like Fedora). Thank you!

Unfortunately this 'custom' SDK was removed from juce again due to issues with Steinberg. The only way to build VST2 is to use an older version of juce (which I don't want to do) or only build VST3 (which I don't want to do because my Linux host only supports VST2)

So I'm kinda stuck right now depending on having VST2 SDK to compile.

What about using this fork of JUCE which supports LV2 export? It's a format which is very solid on GNU/Linux.
