Replying to list. I went a bit further, but got an error with `cmake
--build .` after the selftests were run successfully. Here's the error:

I think you're almost there but now I'm goint to revise the README to
be more explicit. From the (empty) build directory
I type this:
SRC=[...path-to...]/purevst
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DSMTG_ENABLE_VST3_PLUGIN_EXAMPLES=FALSE
-DSMTG_ENABLE_VST3_HOSTING_EXAMPLES=FALSE -DHOME=$HOME $SRC
(all on one line) and then this:
cmake --build .
It could be that as you looked at the README you saw the 'cmake
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release...' command broken into two lines -
I should find a way to prevent that from happening :)

OK, I downloaded PureVST (sorry, had to figure this out earlier) and
unpacked it. I created a build directory and changed to that. I also
corrected the paths to the VST3 SDK and Pd's source (well, Pd's
directory that includes the src/ directory, not the actual src/
directory; that's what I got I should do from the CMakeLists.txt
file) and I run:
`cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release`
but I got the following error:
```
CMake Warning:

Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
```
Perhaps something is missing in the command, like a double dot? I
know nothing about CMake, so this could be rather trivial...

Hmm... the directions could have been clearer, sorry....
vst_cleanser.c is in the pureVTS source, not in the Pd source. If
you've downloaded and unpacked the PureVST source tarball it should
be just "purevst/source/vst_cleanser.c". And yes, no trailing period
(I think my markdown-to-html converter remove the space I had put
between the filename and the period).
and yes, 'wherever the sources landed" refers to the pureVST source
(currently https://msp.ucsd.edu/tools/purevst/PureVST-0.5.src.tgz )
whic need dwonloading and unpacking before even making this version
of libpd.
cheers

I'm trying to compile pureVST from source on Debian 12. I built the
VST SDK and following pureVST's README, I've gone up to the
following step `make MORECFLAGS=-DVST_CLEANSER` insinde the libpd
directory.
I don't quite understand the following steps. Right after this, the
README reads that I should type
`MORESRC=../../work/vst/purevst/source/vst_cleanser.c.`
Being inside the libpd directory, where will the two parent
directories lead me, since the path starts with ../../? Also, where
is this `work` directory supposed to be? Or `vst` and `purevst`?
Are these directories Miller created in his system?
I did a `find . -name vst_cleanser.c` from my home directory and
found nothing (BTW, is the dot at the end supposed to be there?).
Then the instructions follow like this:
```
Then using the PureVST source tree, consult the CMakeLists.txt file
and correct the path settings for the VST SDK and for the Pd
source. Then make an empty build directory, and using a shell or
terminal window, change directory to the build directory and try to
get these to work in sequence:
|SRC=~/work/vst/purevst|
[… or wherever the sources landed]
|cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
-DSMTG_ENABLE_VST3_PLUGIN_EXAMPLES=FALSE
-DSMTG_ENABLE_VST3_HOSTING_EXAMPLES=FALSE -DHOME=$HOME $SRC|
|cmake --build .|
```
It mentions "or wherever the sources landed". Which sources? After
building libpd? And in which directory should all the cmake command
be executed?
