I can't compile linvst3

[ghost]

Running make results in this:

Not sure what I need to do to get this working to use vst3s in Reaper.

I got nearly the same error:

[osxmidi]

The Makefile is set up for https://download.steinberg.net/sdk_downloads/vst-sdk_3.7.1_build-50_2020-11-17.zip

Download the file above and unzip it.

Unzip the LinVst3 source file (which will unzip a LinVst3 source folder).

The LinVst3 source folder needs to be placed within the VST3 SDK main folder (the VST3_SDK folder or the VST3 folder that contains the base, public.sdk, pluginterfaces etc folders) ie the LinVst3 source folder needs to be placed alongside the base, public.sdk, pluginterfaces etc folders of the VST3 SDK.

Then change into the LinVst3 source folder and run make and then sudo make install

---

Assuming that your system has all of the libraries that are needed, which are listed in the LinVst3 Readme.

[osxmidi]

There are LinVst3 pre made binaries on the Releases page as well, that should work with most systems.
