- Install Git from: https://git-scm.com/download/win
Compiling
First clone the repository and create the build directory using:
git clone --recurse-submodules -j4 https://github.com/Dougal-s/Aether.git
cd Aether
mkdir build && cd buildThen compile the plugin using:
Linux/MacOS
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release"
make -j4Some systems may default to an older version of the compiler causing compilation errors. To fix this, clear the build directory and then run
cmake ..with theCXXenvironment variable set to the newer compiler (e.g.g++-10orclang++-10)
Windows
cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" ..
cmake --build . --config=release -j4Additional Options
| Option | Description | Values |
|---|---|---|
| BUILD_GUI | Build gui. | on / off |
| BUILD_TESTS | Build unit tests. The tests can be run using make test and individual tests can be found in builds/tests/tests. |
on / off |
| BUILD_BENCHMARKS | Build benchmarks. The benchmarks can be run using make test and individual benchmarks can be found in builds/tests/benchmarks. |
on / off |
| CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE | Debug adds runtime checks and debug information. Release enables additional optimizations. Can also be set using the --config flag when running cmake. |
debug / release |
| FORCE_DISABLE_DENORMALS | Disables denormal floating point numbers at the beginning of every processing block. This is usually redundant as the plugin host should already do this. Defaults to on. |
on / off |
Installing
The build process will create an lv2 plugin bundle called aether.lv2 in the build directory, which can be copied to the appropriate platform specific location(~/.lv2, $HOME/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/LV2, %APPDATA%/LV2), where it can be picked up by an lv2 plugin host.
