Linux support #21

Hi!

First of all thank you for your hard work. I’m currently using Linux (Ubuntu 20.10 more precisely) as my primary OS for making music. I’m also a programmer, so I’m opening this issue mostly for tracking purpose as I’ll be able to work on my own.

VSTs are supported on this platform so a major refactoring shouldn’t be needed. I have access to multiple Linux distributions too so I will be able to test other popular ones like Archlinux, and maybe package it as well so people could install it from their package manager. I could loo into CI/CD to streamline the building process too.

I’ll keep you updated :)

Hi there! A good place to start would be to take a look at the linux support in iPlug2. I beleive there is a branch/pull request that adds support. Then you'd need to fix up the premake scripts to support linux which shouldn't be too much of a problem. Let me know how you get on!

This would also be great!
