How to build (Windows)

Prerequisites:

If you want to build the dependent libraries, you may need additional SDKs. Precompiled libs can be found in the dep/lib/msvc/ folder.

$ git clone https://github.com/bsp2/VeeSeeVSTRack.git
$ cd VeeSeeVSTRack/

Edit dep/yac/install_msvc.mk and adjust the LIB_INSTALL_PREFIX, WINDDK_PATH, VCTK, W32API_INC, W32API_LIB as required.

EDIT setenv_msvc.sh and adjust the VST2_SDK_DIR as required.

$ alias m="make -j 20 -f makefile.msvc"
$ . setenv_msvc.sh
$ m all

If the build succeeded, the effect and instrument plugin DLLs can now be found in the vst2_bin/ folder.

Last but not least, please don't ask me for the VST2 SDK. It is not permitted to redistribute it and Steinberg has discontinued it. I heard that the aeffect.h / aeffectx.h files are still included in the VST3 SDK.

Dynamically loaded plugins

$ m clean
$ m shared_lib

(creates plugins/Rack_shared.lib)

$ cd plugins/community/repos/<yourplugin>
$ m bin
$ cp <yourplugin.dll> ../../../../vst2_bin/plugins/<yourpluginname>/plugin.dll.fx
$ cp <yourplugin.dll> ../../../../vst2_bin/plugins/<yourpluginname>/plugin.dll.instr

(and don't forget to copy the res/ directory to vst2_bin/plugins/!)

Dynamically loaded plugins (via plugin SDK)

  1. Install the Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition IDE
  2. Download the VeeSeeVSTRack plugin SDK
  3. Open the solution file (example\Template_shared\vs2017\Template_shared\Template_shared.sln)
  4. Make sure that the Release / x64 configuration is selected
  5. Rebuild the solution to create the "plugin.dll" file.

How to build (Linux)

Prerequisites:

$ git clone https://github.com/bsp2/VeeSeeVSTRack.git
$ cd VeeSeeVSTRack/

EDIT setenv_linux.sh and adjust the VST2_SDK_DIR as required.

$ . setenv_linux.sh
$ alias m="make -j 20 -f makefile.linux"
$ m all
