A good friend.

also how easy is it to build on linux in general for a target debian based system?

I think it's super easy, but as with all operating systems it depends on your familiarity with it.

@d-healey familiar enough with linux distros, but not audio related stuff on linux. I must admit the only reason i use windows 10 is because i bought tons of plugins over the years and im now kinda stuck with it. I have a pinebook pro laptop thats about it, but it's arm processor. What do plugins even look like on linux and how do you package them.

[d.healey]

@ospfeigrp VST2 plugins have a .so extension, VST3 plugins have a .vst3 extension. Plugins compiled on an ARM processor aren't compatible with x86 processors, but I guess you knew that.

@ospfeigrp Virtual machine.

@ospfeigrp I can compile it for you, then I just send you the compile version

[d.healey]

@Jay Can't code sign/notarize it for him though (unless he gives you his credentials)

@d-healey oh yeah that's right, I totally forgot about it.

I was just trying to help
