Disable audio devices if only bulding plugins
falkTX opened this issue · comments
In order to minimize the amount of code in the final binary, and also to reduce the size and amount of dependencies, it would be great if the juce-audio-devices was disabled if only building plugin versions.
Currently all modules are built regardless of build config.
There should be no need for alsa, jack dependencies on Linux if only building LV2/VST2, also ASIO SDK if on Windows.

Hi, How much of a problem is this actually in practice?
would not the linker take care of eliminating code which is not used?
I also would like to study a transition to Juce6 to switch to a less complicated cmake solution, which has clean selection of modules to link, but all while retaining the compatibility with my current fork.
The build requires ASIO, only needed for standalone, so it is a problem at least there since ASIO SDK is not easy to get by (and non-free)
OK I've added a fix for ASIO in 34e91db
Thanks, that helps a lot!
Is it possible to ask for the same for alsa and jack? or is it too much?
The root of this issue is that the UI requires MidiKeyboardComponent, which pulls juce_audio_utils and in turn juce_audio_devices.
The problem can't be dealt with just by removing juce_audio_devices from the link.
Perhaps, I need to resort to a hacky solution where I take only the midi keyboard source off juce_audio_utils and ignore all of the rest.
from what I see, simply removing alsa and jack as active would work, like you just did with asio.
It's resolved at d9ccf3d
That is great, thanks a lot!
With this set, do you mind if I add this project's binaries to https://github.com/DISTRHO/PawPaw as an lv2 plugin to install?
You have binaries for macOS and windows, but no installer

Sure, please do.
