But I could be wrong about this. > Well, I don't know about LADSPA plugins, but the fact is that in Arch for building from source in a pacman-aware (pacman is Arch's package manager) manner, you need the DESTDIR option... infact you first install all the files with the exact same direcotry tree as would do 'make install' but, instead of in root, in a working directory... i.e. you do 'make DESTDIR=/pathtotmpdir install' Then you point pacman to /pathtotmpdir, so he knows what to install and where on the system and keeps neatly track of it (you can then easily remove the package). So for Archers the DESTDIR is important, but on the other hand it's easy to patch a Makefile if it doesn't have the DESTDIR option, so no real big problem for now... just a heads up for the future. > > and also btw, good plugin - I've used it with good results with the > > settings suggested by Gabriel :) > > Fine ! > > Ciao, > ciao, Renato _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
