Basics of LV2

Create a new LV2 plugin

Get the build tools

A LV2 plugin is just a binary. However to run in a MOD Device it must be compiled for that particular hardware and software (libraries). This mean you'll have to use a custom compiler called MOD Plugin Builder which takes care of that process for you.

Just follow the instructions to get it installed and running.

A few notable packages that are neede:

  • gperf
  • makeinfo
  • texinfo
  • libtool
  • automake
  • libncurses5-dev
