Re: [LAD] axonlib

i'm new to lists like this, and don't know how to reply to specific
posts in a discussion.. (teach me?)

some clarification is needed for axonlib (earlier post), i guess...

yes, axonlib is:

>> "standalone/vst-plugin library for linux/win32"

but the plan/idea is to expand the 'vst' part to other plugin formats
too, linux things like ladspa, dssi, (lv2), and a future mac port is
possible. support for the various plugin/binary formats of course
depends on the platform you compile for. there's no point in compiling a
lv2 for windows, for example... vst and standalone binary (exe) is
probably the most 'universal', since they exists for all three major
platforms..
and it's also good to be able to compile in one batch, (from a script)
to all supported formats and platforms, with no changes to the source
code...

and

>> " But the standalone part doesn't quite make sense"

some things can be nice to have available as a standalone binary on
linux, for example to use with jack.. ( but we're missing some parts for
standalones yet, audio and midi i/o being some of them :-/ haven't
decided on which lib/backend yet, possibly portaudio/midi )

and, it helps development a lot, when you can compile to an exe/binary
and run it from within an ide or something, and test various small
changes almost instantly, than needing to go through the often lengthy
process of starting up a host, and load the plugin there,
