Mja, confirmed. The Mac installer actually ships an ancient version of
QSampler and liblscp. This issue exists since the transition of liblscp/
QSampler from autoconf to CMake.
I guess the same applies to the Windows installer.
The thing is, the binaries are automatically built on our server. Once they
are (re)built, they have to be installed into a specific directory on our
server for the Mac/Win installer scripts to grab them up.
The problem I have is, I don't see an obvious way how to output where cmake is
installing to, or how exactly. I tried the only documented way which is
cmake --install build --verbose
But that does not output anything more than without --verbose.
Rui, you don't have a clue either, right?
BTW the auto built binaries look fine. QSampler is correctly linked to latest
libgig etc. So it is really just the cmake --install step on server that's
flawed.
