Build Jost (FOSS VST, DSSI, LADSPA host) on Debian Sid

[mzilikazi]

I must confess that I wrote this some time ago and have not had the time to test it again. If you try to build Jost (according to this howto) and it fails just say so and we'll have a look.

Jost is the first open source multi-technology (native VST, DSSI, LADSPA) host in linux. It uses JUCE for the GUI.

JUCE (Jules' Utility Class Extensions) is an all-encompassing C++ class library for developing cross-platform applications.

Install some prerequisites:

Code: Select all

apt-get install libxml2-dev libjack0.100.0-0 libjack0.100.0-dev jackd libuuid1 uuid-dev xorg-dev libasound2-dev dssi-dev dssi-utils ladspa-sdk liblo0 liblash-dev liblash2

Get jost

Code: Select all

wget http://www.anticore.org/jucetice/get.php?file=jost_src-v0.4.3.tar.bz2
unp jost_src-v0.4.3.tar.bz2

You must get the VST SDK yourself. It is unfortunately not redistributable. (insert rant about software patents here)
http://www.steinberg.de/553_1.html
Enter some name and email address (you need not confirm it), accept the licensing agreement and click "Send form" to download the sdk.

Code: Select all

unp vst_sdk2_3.zip
rm -f vstsdk2.3.dmg vstsdk2.3.sit
unp vstsdk2.3.zip
cp -a vstsdk2.3/source/* ~/jost-v0.4.3/vst/source

Now jost should build

Code: Select all

cd jost-v0.4.3/juce/build/linux
make CONFIG=Release
cd ../../../plugins/Jost/build/linux/
make CONFIG=Release

It is not required that you install Jost as you can simply execute the binary

Code: Select all

../../../../bin/jost

Jost will be empty. You need some plugins.
http://www.anticore.org/jucetice/?page_id=8
If you get the precompiled binaries, e.g. Vex, Audjoo Helix, Peggy2000 you DO NOT need to compile anything.
Simply unpack the archive and put the binary (some_file.so) somewhere (like ~/vst), then start Jost, select Plugins tab
and browse to the binary.

*NOTE* 1
If you wish to build any of the VST plugins yourself you need the VST SDK to be available by all plugins.

Put it here:

Code: Select all

su
mkdir /usr/include/vst
cp -a vstsdk2.3/source/* /usr/include/vst
