Build for Linux: VST3 and JUCE_JACK

[dextersLabRat]

Hi. I'm building Frequalizer on Linux. I'm used to using the Projucer to configure the build--not so savvy with CMake. I got a coworker to help me through some build issues. I can post those fixes below.

My main goal is to build Frequalizer for a JACK target to use as a JACK plugin. I know how to do this with the Projucer but not with CMake.

How I can I build this for JACK (JUCE_JACK is probably the JUCE definition)?

I can't even compile the VST3 on Linux (Manjaro). I get a linking error I don't understand.

I tried compiling with:

mkdir build; cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -Wno-dev ..
cmake --build .

I get this error at the linking stage:

[...]

make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:240: CMakeFiles/frequalizer_VST3.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:136: all] Error 2

Anyone have an idea what is going wrong?

Sorry that this reply is so late!! Just saw this. I'm no expert, but I have seen this kind of thing before, and I believe that the issue is dynamic library linking vs. static. See if a Google search can get you more info based on that.
