Linux: Build from the source

To build Drumlabooh form the source, you need to install some dependencies first. Drumlabooh is based on JUCE. JUCE source code will be fetched by configuration process, but JUCE needs additional libraries.

Dependencies (Ubuntu packages names):

libasound2-dev libfreetype6-dev libx11-dev libxcomposite-dev libxcursor-dev libxext-dev libxinerama-dev libxrandr-dev libxrender-dev

Dependencies (Arch packages names):

alsa-lib freetype2 libx11 libxcomposite libxcursor libxext libxinerama libxrandr libxrender

Install them if not installed, and then, under sudo or root:

mkdir b
cd b
cmake ..
make
make install

This installs Lv2 and VSTi versions of the plugin to /usr/local/lib/LV2 and /usr/local/lib/VST3 by default. To redefine te destination dir, set another dest dir via CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable. For example, from /usr/local to /usr:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..

Drumlabooh uses:

JUCE (GPL3)
