and I have installed Calf
but I can’t see any LV2 plugins in my Ardour.
in http://ardour.org/node/1647 I’ve read that I shoud check out LV2 from SVN. But what is the adress for the repos?
And how do I install it?
Hmmm, that is strange, shouldn’t really crash with LV2 plugins. Which are you using?, the CALF plugins are really sweet and stable ones, especially the Vitage Delay, Multichorus and Phaser, well I’m mostly a gitarist, so this are plugins I use quite a lot instead of recording them off my BOSS GT-8.
Open Ardour from term and fiddle around with the CALF or other LV2 plugins and if it crashes see if the term shows any errors.
Joe is quite correct, however you will require both the latest slv2 and lv2core. Ubuntu has packages for this, I’m not sure what other distros do, I had to build both for myself in Debian.
Hi.
I recently did the same thing… took me a while so I wrote it down. This was on Ubuntu 9.04. As you see below I had a problem with the compilation and found a patch (got lucky…). If you should run into that problem, I can send you the patch (or you get from the homepage). The part on building with LV2 is below the error explanation. I’m actually not sure about the lv2core part, but I think I took those from the repos . Hope it helps…
Build Ardour with minimum requirements:
do >>sudo apt-get install scons
do >>sudo apt-get install liblrdf0-dev
do >>sudo apt-get install libgnomecanvas2-dev
do >>sudo apt-get install libjack-dev
do >>sudo apt-get install libsamplerate0-dev
do >>sudo apt-get install libfftw3-dev
do >>sudo apt-get install libaubio-dev
do >>sudo apt-get install liblo-dev
do >>sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev
do >>sudo scons
if the following error occurs:

Strange, no more crashes now. But I got a warning while starting Ardour:
Warning: Unable to create “trees” RDF storage.
Performance can be improved by upgrading librdf.
I think I’m gonna get myself a new ‘librdf’. Mine is from synaptic (Ubuntu Studio 8.04)
By the way, also I’m guitarist (using GT-6).
Thanks again for all your help (joegiampaoli, GMaq and packoman).
To make sure others with the same question got a properly entitled post to search (assuming you learned the implicit lesson in [1] and made a proper post) instead of having to delve into a completely unrelated question.
