Build and installation

Dependencies:

• libc6-dev
• libcairo2-dev
• libx11-dev
• x11proto-dev
• lv2-dev

On Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt install libc6-dev libcairo2-dev libx11-dev x11proto-dev lv2-dev

NOTE: These packages may have different names on different distributions. GxPlugins.lv2 has no configure script, so make will simply fail when one of these packages isn't found.

Build

git submodule init
git submodule update
make
make install # will install into ~/.lv2 ... AND/OR....
sudo make install # will install into /usr/lib/lv2

Debian package

You can build a Debian package directly with:

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us -b

or download a prebuild Debian package here:

gxplugins_1.0_amd64.deb

MS-Windows version (64 bit)

Prebuilt Windows binaries can be downloaded here: gxplugins_1.0_win64.7z

To install, extract the plugins using 7zip into the directory "%APPDATA%\LV2\" (e.g. "C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\LV2\").
Refer to the documentation of your DAW, where it searches for LV2 plugins.

If your DAW doesn't support LV2 yet, you can use Carla as an adapter to plug LV2s into any VST capable DAW (or just run it standalone). Even track automation is supported and it's free software as well.

Build instructions for MS-Windows can be found in README.mswin.
