Too bad it's only for Linux #1

I would love to have an executable of your app for Windows 11, but don't know how to modify the sources and recompile for that...

It requires X11, so as far as I know the only relatively easy way would be to compile with Cygwin .

I don't have a Windows machine to try it, though, so I'd be interested if you could get it to work. Cygwin is easy to install, just download and run their installer. I don't know what they install by default these days, but you'll probably need to install X11, g++, and make, and the development packages for X11, Xpm, and libsamplerate. Separately you need to install the Windows version of Jack .

To compile, you'll probably need to add a CXXFLAG and LDFLAG to the Makefile to point to where you saved the Jack headers and DLL. You might need other minor code changes - e.g. if M_PI is not defined, you might have to define it or #define _USE_MATH_DEFINES ... stuff like that.

I don't know if LV2 will work, but Cygwin does have the LV2 package, so it's worth a try.

Good luck and let me know how it goes.

Thanks for all the technical infos, but I don't have the time nor the skills to make it work on Windows. I just hope some developper will have the same wish as me and will port your project...
