shell installation script for VCV Rack

VCV Rack

VCV Rack is an open-source and cross-platform virtual modular synthesizer.

This repository is use to build VCV Rack in several versions for research and development purposes.

Build

1. clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/derikon/VCVRack.git
2. cd VCVRack
3. ./BUILD_macOS.sh

The build script checks for build dependencies: brew, git, wget, cmake, autoconf, automake, libtool

You can decide which Rack version to build and if the standard plugins should be build as well.

• Fundamental: v0.6 and v1
• Befaco: v0.6 and v1
• Template: v0.6 and v1 (only used for development purpose)
• ESeries: v0.6
• AudibleInstruments: v0.6

Development

Rack by default uses make to build executables. I also want to use cmake and added a CMakeLists.txt.

Configure Clion

1. Open CMakeLists.txt in Clion
2. Go to Run -> Edit Configurations in menu bar. You should see a build configuration for each VCV Rack version.
3. Select build configuration (e.g. Rack_v1)
   1. Executable: select the Rack executable from the version specific subdirectory
   2. Program arguments: add -d for debug mode
4. select a target and run it
