When following the build instructions in the README, I get the following error:

Makefile:20: ../plugin.mk: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target '../plugin.mk'. Stop.

You should run the makefile for your platform, make -f Makefile.lin

I did that originally:

Also, the README says

just call make on its own to build for Linux.

Is there some context I'm missing? Should this project be cloned into a subfolder of another project?

brylie commented 2 years ago

Oh, I think I missed this step:

Then cd to Rack/plugins/ and run ...

It's a bit awkward to have to develop this project from within the Rack/plugins directory, since I try to keep my development stuff under /home/<user>/code/. I can set up a symlink, but it's still unconventional.

The environment variable approach might be a good compromise to allow developers to organize their filesystem in any way while providing enough context for CabbageRack to build:

In your terminal, run

export RACK_SDK_DIR=/path/to/Rack/SDK

OK, I was able to get make to run successfully. Now I'm left wondering what to do to get the Cabbage Export as VCV Rack Module to pick up the location of CabbageRack https://github.com/rorywalsh/cabbage/issues/125
