3 years ago Hi there, I'm trying to get this to run on my MacBook but really struggling with the instructions. I downloaded VST_SDK but it's not clear what files to copy over and what next steps to run. Is it possible that you'd consider documenting your methodology to get this going.

3 years ago The official website doesn't have VST2 sdk we need. It could be found at https://archive.org/details/VST2SDK - updated the readme.
That's what you should copy from vst sdk:
├── pluginterfaces
│ └── vst2.x
│ ├── aeffect.h |
│ ├── aeffectx.h | -> Copy into src/pluginterfaces/vst2.x/
│ └── vstfxstore.h |
├── public.sdk
│ ├── samples
│ └── source
│ └── vst2.x
│ ├── aeffeditor.h |
│ ├── audioeffect.cpp |
│ ├── audioeffect.h |
│ ├── audioeffectx.cpp | -> Copy into src/vst2.x/
│ ├── audioeffectx.h |
│ └── vstplugmain.cpp |
Then you just need to compile the thing:
cmake -Bbuild-x64 -H. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cd build-x64
make Released v1.01 where I used FST instead of VST2 sdk. FST is open source reverse-engineered vst2 headers.
When copying VST SDK files over to src/vst_plugin/vst2.x & src/vst_plugin/plugininterfaces/vst2.x (the filepaths in the documentation seems to have a slightly incorrect filepath), the cmake command that compiles the VST checks for aeffect.h, and spits back the following CMake warning:
CMake Warning at CMakeLists.txt:23 (message): pluginterfaces/vst2.x/aeffect.h does not exist.
Please see vst2.x/FILES.txt and pluginterfaces/vst2.x/FILES.txt
This might be a matter of just updating the CMake txt, given the fact that audioeffect.h exists in the Steinberg pack linked. But I just wanted to mention that the steps for macOS compilation are a bit out of date, most likely. I have also confirmed that I'm copying over the proper VST2_SDK files over to those filepaths mentioned above.
