Even if you don't like it, but the situation is very clear.

I wouldn't care too much about legal actions, though. Legal actions can only be taken by the copyright holders whose rights have been violated, and 3 of the 4 copyright holders of the libgig source code are linuxsampler developers...

@falkTx: No. it is illegal. Linuxsampler (or better liblinuxsampler.so) is linked against libgig. The license of linuxsampler is not GPL compatible, the license of libgig is GPL. The GPL does not allow to distribute binaries that mix GPL code with GPL incompatible code => illegal.

The funny thing is that nobody in the world is currently allowed to distribute a linuxsampler binary without explicit permission by the 4 libgig authors. Not even the 3 libgig developers who are also developers of linuxsampler without permission by the 4th

@falkTx: I was refering to VST2, with references to the vstgui version 2.2 that was shipped with the vst2.3 SDK.

Actually, your method works because of a silent agreement between host developers to use an undocumented extension to the VST specification, i.e. most host developers simply copy the method that the juce developer introduced 10 years ago. The VST spec does neither enforce the use of an X11 window as...

Correct. Especially because it can be a UI, which would not necessarily need to be a graphical UI at all. Or run on a completely different machine from the host, e.g. Tablet. The mantra that a UI must be a graphical user interface controlled by the host is a host developer only request. A user won't...

Funny read as always. Thanks to external UIs (or better, its fallback) for my own VST plugins the plugins and their UIs work with each and every VST host from the very first
energyXT to the latest reaper release candidate.

You need to grep for the string CXXABI

Further reading is here:

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc+ ... l/abi.html

gcc5 changed its C++ ABI, so that's likely the source of the (missing plugins) problem.

And did you run the installer? i.e. are the fonts installed in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts
Reaper is using the Arial.ttf from there.

@dave you have to install the microsoft truetype fonts.

On my ubuntu 14.04 the package is called ttf-mscorefonts-installer

Use virtual raw midi devices with the snd-virmidi driver ?

If you mean live looping with a loop pedal like in some Ed Sheeran youtube video, then sooperlooper is what you want.

you need to configure waf correctly. You can see all the avaiable configure options using ./waf configure --help Do the following: Check where the distribution as put following files: jackd, jack_net.so In my case this is /usr/bin/jackd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/jack/jack_net.so So i have to do: ./w...

When i wrote, check the paths, i meant the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The jackd binary is searched by PATH, the backends (alsa, net, ...) are loaded as shared library depending on the -d option, and are searched by the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. In the distribution installation they are usually installed in /u...
