How to setup own LV2 plugins?

Codeman · May 4, 2016, 1:15pm

Hi,

how can I install my own LV2 plugins?
And if I have written a LV2 plugin, can I get this into the Modshop? How to do this?

Regards, Holger

Hi @Codeman,

I’m at this moment writing a HowTo guide exactly on this.

It should be ready in a few days then I’ll post back the link here.

For now you can start looking at our mod-plugin-builder which is how to cross-compile the plugin:

Hi!

Thanks a lot!

Regards, Holger

@Codeman I have a first draft of the HowTo in here:

http://wiki.moddevices.com/wiki/How_To_Build_and_Deploy_LV2_Plugin_to_MOD_Duo

It describes the process of getting a LV2 Plugin properly compiled with the build script that we have in here:

Keep in mind this is a draft. Let us know of any issues you have.
I will be adding the deploy and publish sections soon.

A few updates have been made to the wiki page by @falkTX which fixes a few inconsistencies we had.

Also for those familiar with docker we have now a docker image that provides the MPB fully built: https://hub.docker.com/r/moddevices/mod-plugin-builder/

So starting the MPB becomes as simple as:

$ docker run -ti moddevices/mod-plugin-builder

Hi Guys,

./bootstrap.sh just hangs while trying to connect to crosstool-ng.org

ubuntu:~/ModDuo/mod-plugin-builder$ ./bootstrap.sh

Connecting to crosstool-ng.org (crosstool-ng.org)|140.211.15.129|:80...

pinging also hangs:

ubuntu:~/ModDuo/mod-plugin-builder$ ping crosstool-ng.com
PING crosstool-ng.com (92.242.132.15) 56(84) bytes of data.

Is this just a temporary problem with the site or has it gone for good?

While getting crosstools-ng built from git the ping I had running leapt into life so the server is back.

compiling the build environment goes ok for me for a while, but then i’m running into this:

The plugin builder does not work with gcc-6.
Cleanup the ~/mod-workdir folder, then install gcc-4 if you can (known to work) and run it like this:

export CC=gcc-4.9
export CXX=g++-4.9
./bootstrap.sh

vm1 · June 25, 2017, 12:58pm

same on debian stretch.
it took more then hour to get the error message.

vm1 · July 12, 2017, 3:26pm

fixed bootstrap issues on master
you are welcome to test

What version of Perl ar you using?

c0ntact0 · August 24, 2018, 12:22pm

v5.26.1

Jarno · August 24, 2018, 1:36pm

My guess it has something to do with a library. (I am running perl version 5.22.1) The error made me think a character was missing on line 3936 of the automake file. I looked into it on my computer and it seems to be good. You could try to place a blackslash where HERE is pointing to:
m/\ ${ <-- HERE ([^ \t=:+{}]+)}/ at /home/rui/mod-workdir/plugins-dep/host/usr/bin/automake
if that doesn’t work, revert and replace the m with a s at the beginning of that line

FWIW I started developing for Duo recently via the docker route which at least guarantees a working toolchain + dependencies.

c0ntact0 · August 27, 2018, 10:53am

@Jarno and @devcurmudgeon, thanks for the replays, but I’m using docker and “solve” my problem that way last Friday.

c0ntact0 · August 28, 2018, 5:35pm

Hi everyone,

I return to linux because docker (for MacOS at least) have some limitations.
I solve the compilation problem changing this regex:

 $text =~ s/\${([^ \t=:+{}]+)}/substitute_ac_subst_variables_worker ($1)/ge;

with this one…

$text =~ 's/\$\{([^ \t=:+{}]+)}/substitute_ac_subst_variables_worker (\$1)/ge';

Hi! not sure to be on the appropriate topic but I discovered very good free plugins (amps emulations)from execonsultingtx ,that would be great to be able yo use it on the Dwarf.
