LADSPA_plugins-win is a project to port Steve Harris's LADSPA plugins
|
|
(http://plugin.org.uk/) to Windows OS as DLLs.
|
|
|
|
LADSPA_plugins-win is a part of Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org)
|
|
and is licensed under the Audacity license, which is the GNU GPL. See
|
|
http://www.audacityteam.org/about/license/ or audacity\LICENSE.txt.
|
|
|
|
The primary goal is to port these plugins for use in the Windows version of
|
|
Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org), but the plugins should work in
|
|
any LADSPA host on Windows (if there are any others).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
INSTALL THE PLUGINS:
|
|
The latest LADSPA_plugins-win installer is
|
|
"LADSPA_plugins-win-0.4.15.exe".
|
|
|
|
Run the installer. For the installation location, select the
|
|
Plug-Ins subdirectory of the Audacity you want to add them to.
|
|
The standard location is the default.
|
|
|
|
If you have multiple installed copies of Audacity (e.g., stable and
|
|
beta), run the LADSPA_plugins-win installer for each one.
|
|
Note that if you do multiple installations, there will be only one
|
|
item in the Windows Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, and that will
|
|
remove the last one you installed. To remove the others, find and run the
|
|
"unins000.exe" file in the directory where you installed the plugins.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
REQUIREMENTS FOR BUILDING THE PLUGINS:
|
|
* Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.
|
|
|
|
* audacity\win\LADSPA_plugins-win directory from, e.g.,
|
|
http://www.audacityteam.org/download/plug-ins/
|
|
|
|
* Latest plugin distro from http://plugin.org.uk.
|
|
|
|
* If you wish to use the following plugins, you will need to get the
|
|
libfftw3f-3.dll from http://www.fftw.org/ and place it
|
|
in the Audacity plugin directory:
|
|
|
|
imp_1199.dll
|
|
mbeq_1197.dll
|
|
pitch_scale_1193.dll
|
|
pitch_scale_1194.dll
|
|
|
|
The installer includes these plugins and the necessary
|
|
FFTW DLL and documentation (by permission of
|
|
Steven G. Johnson of FFTW, 9/26/2006).
|
|
|
|
Because the GNU C library ("GLIBC", http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/libc.html)
|
|
#include files typically are part of Linux but not Windows, we need to track
|
|
those too, so another goal is to make it easy to update for new releases of
|
|
GLIBC include files. GLIBC is a big download that changes infrequently,
|
|
and that code requires more changes to work properly on Windows. So, we don't
|
|
keep the same directory structure as the GLIBC release, but instead keep
|
|
them in a simple directory structure that best fits the #include statements
|
|
in Steve's code.
|
|
|
|
LADSPA_plugins-win has been proven with these versions:
|
|
* glibc-2.4
|
|
* fftw-3.1.2-dll.zip from http://www.fftw.org/install/windows.html
|
|
* swh-plugins-0.4.15 from http://plugin.org.uk
|
|
|
|
|
|
BUILD THE PLUGINS:
|
|
1. Put the LADSPA_plugins-win directory inside the latest distro
|
|
from http://plugin.org.uk.
|
|
The glibc and fftw headers and defs are already included
|
|
with LADSPA_plugins-win.
|
|
|
|
2. Open "LADSPA_plugins-win.sln". Build. DLLs will appear in Debug and/or
|
|
Release subdirectories of LADSPA_plugins-win.
|
|
|
|
3. To use them, move the DLLs to the Audacity\Plug-Ins folder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
BUILD THE INSTALLER (requires Inno Setup 5):
|
|
1. Build the Release configuration of the plugins.
|
|
|
|
2. Move the Release folder from the distro's copy of LADSPA_plugins-win to
|
|
audacity\win\LADSPA_plugins-win.
|
|
|
|
3. Download the latest FFTW for Windows from
|
|
http://www.fftw.org/install/windows.html.
|
|
|
|
3a. Move this file into audacity\win\LADSPA_plugins-win\Release:
|
|
|
|
libfftw3f-3.dll
|
|
|
|
3b. Make a new folder,
|
|
audacity\win\LADSPA_plugins-win\Release\FFTW_docs.
|
|
Copy all the documentation (files with no extension) to
|
|
that folder. Currently, the list is:
|
|
|
|
COPYING
|
|
COPYRIGHT
|
|
NEWS
|
|
README
|
|
README-bench
|
|
README-WINDOWS
|
|
|
|
4. Open and compile the LADSPA_plugins-win.iss file in
|
|
audacity\win\LADSPA_plugins-win. The installer will appear in
|
|
audacity\win\LADSPA_plugins-win\Installer.
