How to disable VST in Surge XT?

[yurivict]

Bug Description:
I'm getting this error on FreeBSD:

error: To build JUCE VST3 plug-ins on BSD you must use an external BSD-compatible VST3 SDK with JUCE_CUSTOM_VST3_SDK=1

Rather than making VST work, how to disable it altogether for now?

Surge XT Version
1.0.1

if you disable it, how will people use the software?

but if this error is in the build phase, you can simply not build the vst3 target. and if it is in the initial cmake phase you can remove "VST3" from SURGE_JUCE_FORMATS in src/CMakelists.txt with a patch and replace it with Standalone.

[baconpaul]

and if this turns out to be useful to your user base, easy for us to add a SURGE_SKIP_VST3 cmake option to our 1.1 release. Just let us know!

@baconpaul I just want to disable VST, and leave LV2, etc.

Adding SURGE_SKIP_VST3 should be useful.

Ok I’ll add it to head this week and the you can apply as parch against 101 if you want.

Thanks

Hi

Commit 3ba6b82 provides both the features you asked for (VST3 off; ALSA off) as options.

You should be able to merge that diff as a patch against 1.0.1 for your purposes.

It will be in our next 1.1. release, but there's currently not a scheduled date for that.

Thanks!
