Export to VST3 on Linux

#1

I am not much of a programmer, just a Linux audio aficionado

Using the latest Cabbage, when exporting to VST2 is successful, however when exporting to VST3 seems to simply create a VST2 rather than an actual and recognizable VST3.

since JUCE VST3 on Linux is now running well and I’ve been able to build a host of plugins that run well natively in Bitwig, Waveform, Carla, qtractor and Reaper

Am I doing something wrong or is the VST3 export in Linux still needing some tweaking?

#2

Too be honest I was waiting till Juce had sorted its VST3 issues before looking into this. I’m glad to hear things are running better now. I’ll take a look and see what’s going on :+1:

#3

Thanks. Much appreciated.

I have been able to build OB-xD VST3 using Juce 6
Dexed and Odin2 have also now moved over to JUCE 6 and builds VST3 too

Linux and VST3 is looking pretty stable now

#4

Looks like the version of JUCE I’m using doesn’t have the best support for Linux VSTs. Are you building Cabbage yourself from source?

#5

I’ve had limited success building Cabbage. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Currently am using the pre-built Cabbage v2.5.0

You’d have to use JUCE6 for Linux VST3

#6

Yes, it looks like JUCE 6 is much better at handling VST on Linux. I don’t currently use JUCE6, but you could have a go at compiling yourself if you wish.
