To install it on such systems, use the distros +package manager, search for it and install it. Please refer to each distro's +documentation for detailed instructions on how to do this. -Compiling and installing the LV2 plugin +NOTE2: Be aware that if you are planning on running the LV2 plugin from within +one of the binary releases of Ardour, you must make sure that drumgizmo is using +the same version of libpng, pthread and expat as Ardour was compiled with (or +at least versions matching the ABI), otherwise the plugin will show strange +behaviour or even crash upon load. + +Compiling and Installing on linux (LV2) ======================================= -If you extracted the code from a tar-ball skip to the "Configuring" section. - -Preparing code from git ------------------------ -If you cloned the repository from git, make sure to run the following commands -in order to obtain the hugin debug code: - git submodule init - git submodule update - -After that you need to run ./autogen.sh - -Configuring ------------ -Run ./configure --enable-lv2 --prefix=/usr -Then run 'make && make install' and the plugin should be installed in -/usr/lib/lv2/drumgizmo.lv2 +This guide will show you how to unpack, compile and install the lv2 version +of the drumgizmo plugin. It will also show how to make it usable for the LV2 +host Ardour3. + +Prerequisites +------------- +* lv2-devel package >= 1.0 +* libsndfile-devel >= 1.0.21 +* zita-resampler-devel (no minimal version specified) +* libexpat-devel (no minimal version specified) +* pkg-config >= 0.23 +* Xlib >= 1.0 +* libpng >= 1.2 +* libsmf (no minimal version specified) +* pthread (no minimal version specified) +* libcppunit-dev (only necessary when compiling from git sources) + +Compiling source tarball +------------------------ +$ tar xvzf drumgizmo-[version].tar.gz (you probably already did this) +$ cd drumgizmo-[version] +$ ./configure --prefix=$PWD/install --enable-lv2 +$ make +$ make install + +Compiling from git sources +-------------------------- +$ git clone http://git.drumgizmo.org/drumgizmo.git +$ git submodule init +$ git submodule update +$ ./autogen.sh +$ ./configure --prefix=$PWD/install --enable-lv2 + If you want to compile only the LV2 parts of the plugin use '--disable-editor --disable-cli' as additional parameters to the configure script. -The LV2 plugin requires the following dependencies: -pkg-config >= 0.23 -lv2 >= 1.0 -Xlib >= 1.0 -sndfile >= 1.0.21 -libpng >= 1.2 -pthread (no minimal version specified) -expat (no minimal version specified) - -Be aware that if you are planning on running the LV2 plugin from within one -of the binary releases of Ardour, you must make sure that drumgizmo is using -the same version of libpng, pthread and expat as Ardour was compiled with (or -at least versions matching the ABI), otherwise the plugin will show strange -behaviour or even crash upon load. +Now compile and install +$ make +$ make install + +Installing for use with Ardour3 +------------------------------- +When the make install step has been successfully performed the source directory +will contain a folder named install. In this folder the: + + install/lib/lv2/drumgizmo.lv2 + +... is located. This folder contain all the files needed for the plugin to run. +In order to make it work with Ardour3, either copy this directory to the lv2 +plugin dir (usually /usr/lib/lv2) or create a symbolic link to the directory +$ ln -s [dg path]/install/lib/lv2/drumgizmo.lv2 /usr/lib/lv2/drumgizmo.lv2 +You need to be root to do this. Keep in mind that the lv2 directory differs from +distro to distro, so do a search for it in order to verify the correct location.
