compile for windows - how to? #63

Open h00g opened 6 years ago

h00g commented 6 years ago

I've been looking for info on how to compile the v0.6.0 release for windows but found no such info.

In a bash-shell in cygwin I did:

git clone https://github.com/mschack/VCV-Rack-Plugins.git
cd VCV-Rack-Plugins/
make

This throws the error

Makefile:26: ../../plugin.mk: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target '../../plugin.mk'. Stop.

Makefile defines a reference to RACK_DIR as ../.. and I've seached my entire disk for a file named plugin.mk but no match.

What are the prerequisites to build the binaries? Will you make them available through the plugin manager?

phdsg commented 6 years ago

you need to install rack from sources first: https://github.com/VCVRack/Rack#setting-up-your-development-environment then clone this repo here into rack's plugins folder.

edit: this plugin is also queued for the next plugin manager build cycle

h00g commented 6 years ago

Ok but isn't it more convenient to have the package available for easy install via the plugin manager?

phdsg commented 6 years ago

the plugin was in fact queued for the last cycle but there was a problem with the size of the repo. i believe this was all fixed and the plugin will probably appear in the next round.

Awesome.
