DPF VS Vcpkg

DPF, short name for Distrho Plugin Framework, is a framework for building audio plugins in C++, compared to JUCE is smaller and more "raw", but there's no commercial licensing or limitation, also it supports open formats like LADSPA and LV2. It has support for Linux and Windows, here I will assume you're using Linux, so some commands may differ in Windows.

For crossplatform plugin building - consider checking out https://github.com/DISTRHO/DPF

Re 1: Why not create a DPF wrapper for this and have DPF create the ladspa/dssi/vst2/vst3/lv2 for you? -> https://github.com/DISTRHO/DPF

Nice to see you are interested in making audio plugins. Especially with LV2 support. OK, you can do LV2 plugin programming from scratch (like I did). The LV2 book https://lv2plug.in/book/ is a good starting point. But I would recommend the use of a plugin framework like DPF https://github.com/DISTRHO/DPF instead.

I use DPF as a plugin framework so any wayland stuff should come to that. I have no clue how to implement such features. I'm not a real programmer. I only act as one on the internet.

Alternatively you could look at using DPF to make the plugin: https://github.com/DISTRHO/DPF

There are free (as far as licensing goes) alternatives such as DPF, but you will be doing a lot more of your own legwork with this system as not as much is provided for you.

5.4.5 can be compromised

vcpkg may expire assets after 1.5 years, so achieve long-term reproducibility you will need to cache your dependencies.... Somewhere. Not sure what the expected solution is.

There were various approaches recommended depending on our language and ecosystem. My classmates who developed using Node.js were recommended npm, and PyPI or poetry for Python. Since my program is written in C++, I was recommended to look into one of vcpkg or conan, but I ultimately did not use either package manager.

Which dependencies are not in vcpkg? We can ask them to add it. It’s pretty easy just open an issue there https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues .

The hyperscan update to vcpkg seems to have happened from 5.4.0 to 5.4.2 in this commit on Apr 20.

Dear Fictrac team, I am hoping to install Fictrac in our windows 11 x64 laptop (Visual Studio 2019, cMake 3.26.4). I followed the installation guideline on github page fictrac and used the latest vcpkg

This works fine if one wants to do stuff like clang main.cpp -lvulkan, or even find_package(Vulkan REQUIRED) in CMake, but it doesn't define VULKAN_SDK, and therefore doesn't work with vcpkg's Vulkan support, for instance. A fair bit of Vulkan development, tutorials, etc. assume that the entire SDK is installed, as-is.
