VST export problem

#1

Hello
I’m a new user of Cabbage. Version 2.8.162
I managed to create a standalone synthesizer that works perfectly
but I have a problem exporting plugins in VST, with the following error message:

error message:
Error
/usr/bin/CabbagePluginEffect.so cannot be found?
It should be in the Cabbage root folder.

I’m on linux, with the different CabbagePlugins located like this:

VST:
/usr/lib/vst/
CabbagePluginSynth.so

VST3:
/usr/lib/vst3/bin/CabbagePluginSynth.vst3/Contents/x86_64-linux/
CabbagePluginSynth.so

VST:
/usr/lib/vst/
CabbagePluginEffect.so

VST3:
/usr/lib/vst3/bin/CabbagePluginEffect.vst3/Contents/x86_64-linux/
CabbagePluginEffect.so

MIDI VST3:
/usr/lib/vst3/bin/CabbagePluginMidiEffect.vst3/Contents/x86_64-linux/
CabbagePluginMidiEffect.so

I created a symbolic link to the CabbagePluginSynth.so file that I placed in /usr/bin/ where the executable cabbage is located.
It works but I don’t know if it’s the right method.

Could you tell me about the best practices?
Thank you in advance.

Linux is a little behind in terms of packaging. I’d say your approach is fine. There is a discussion about these issues on the GitHub tracker if you want to read more there.

I hope to resolve all of these issues with cabbage 3.

hi Rory

update,
I’m on manjaro and I get Cabbage from Aur repository.
Finally I directly downloaded Cabbage linux from the cabbageaudio site
and then ran the script.
Problem solved.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I’m happy you got it sorted :grinning:
