Installs to incorrect directory #34

Closed hellocatfood closed 4 years ago

hellocatfood commented 5 years ago

I've installed the plugin bundle (Ubuntu 19.04) but it can't be found by programs like Ardour, LMMS etc. Upon further inspection I found that it installed it to /usr/local/lib/lv2 when all of the other plugins are installed at /usr/lib/lv2

Hi, this depends very much on your environment configuration (as to where LV2 plugins are searched for), and in general it is rude for a project to install itself system-wide in /usr/lib. Locally compiled software should go to /usr/local/* unless the user specifies otherwise. With meson this can be achieved using meson configure -Dprefix=/usr. I'll close this, as I don't feel it is an issue.

Thanks for the explanation, makes sense!
