I'll test this program :), because I'm not fine with programming for Linux and I need some applications that has to be programmed. > with or without programming knowledge (and what language would be best > to learn) ? C and C++. I programmed for other OSs, most times using Assembler, but C and C++ is better for Linux because of the APIs, but take a look at LADSPA's homepage http://www.ladspa.org/. "And here are some tools for generating plugins: * csLADSPA <http://www.ear.ie/csLADSPA.htm> allows plugins to be written with the Csound <http://www.csounds.com> programming language. * Faust <http://faust.grame.fr/> is a compiled DSP language that can be used to produce LADSPA plugins. * GDAM <http://gdam.ffem.org> provides facilities to generate plugins automatically from graphs of simple plugins." C and C++ is a disaster, when programming for Linux. For me it was to hard to do the makefiles and also experienced coders for Linux have the same problem, see Ardour's homepage http://ardour.org/building : "SCons Ardour uses an excellent software build system called SCons <http://www.scons.org/>. Please refer to its web site for more detailled information and the SCons manual <http://www.scons.org/doc/HTML/scons-user/book1.html>. We switched to SCons because of the amazingly poor quality, consistency and overall design of the auto* tools traditionally used by Unix software projects. There comes a point in time where adding another 200 lines to a multi-thousand line shell script should be taken as a sign that something is wrong with the basic idea for the tool. SCons has proved itself entirely worthy of the few days of transition that were required. On the other hand, SCons is not without its problems, and we look forward to the emergence of variants such as |waf| in the future If you have any additional questions on SCons, please post them on the ardour-dev mailing list. ardour-users should not be bothered about it yet to not confuse normal users." Cheers, Ralf
