Linux installer

Do you make installers for Linux? How? @d-healey, in some post I read that you decided to deliver the files manually since the installers you made were not compatible in different versions or distros of Linux. My idea is to deliver the vst3 file and AudioResources.dat

I understand that most Linux users have some knowledge to install the plugin manually, but a simple installer to place these files correctly wouldn't hurt :)

Also, does the HISE_SAMPLE_DIALOG_SHOW_LOCATE_BUTTON=1 definition work on Linux? I just compiled my first plugin on Linux with this definition, but the sample location window didn’t appear when I opened the plugin.

HISE_SAMPLE_DIALOG_SHOW_LOCATE_BUTTON=1

Should work but I haven't used it.

For installers I use make self but just a zip and instructions is also acceptable

Thanks, it's exactly what I was looking for! :)

I found the issue. Placing only the VST3 file in the user/.vst3/ folder prevents the samples window from appearing. After creating the installer and running it, the samples window shows up because the .config/Brand Name/Plugin Name folder was created by the installer. I'm not sure why, but this makes the samples window work.
