Thanks for the response.

The only untoward thing that happened during the build is as follows (appeared towards the end of the build process, just before the package was compressed and created):

libfakeroot internal error: payload not recognized!

This error appeared the first time I built this package and again after I clean built it following your comment. My system is up to date (I also did a pacman -Syu beforehand).

The package was installed with no further complaints.

Still nothing in reaper.

Hi @Mezzy12,

I just re-built a working airwindows-git on 2024-12-22

Just to confirm I just did a full pacman -Syu as well as ensured my vst2sdk (AUR) package was up to the latest (i.e. git fetch) and even rebuilt vst2sdk. I then rebuilt airwindows-git and it's fully working in my environment (as of about 5 minutes ago 2024-12-25). I confirmed the plugins work in both Reaper and Bitwig studio.

Do you have any error messages or further information?

Hey, building this seems to make unusable plugins again. Do we need to go back to using the workaround @galuise suggested?

Thanks.

@HurricanPootis,

Thank you! Sorry my gratitude is quite delayed!

vst2sdk was updated, my apologies for not paying closer attention to my comments.

Yes, it appears that the vst2sdk aur package was updated 5/20/2024 and that modified the PKGBUILD to no longer pull the archive.org copy of "vstsdk3610_11_06_2018_build_37.zip" file...

Also, it appears the steinberg-vst36 AUR package that used to exist has been removed (I'm guessing maybe a DMCA via Steinberg as it was distributing said file directly and unauthorized - judging by my own previous AUR checkout circa April 8th 2022...)

I've been trying to get this working using the existing vst2sdk AUR package to no avail...

I tried removing the following line from CMakeLists.txt:

  ${VSTSDK_ROOT}/vstplugmain.cpp

While that does get the project to successfully compile it produces a package that does not work. Firing up a DAW like Reaper results in no airwindows plugins...

I'm afraid at this point things are really kind of stuck as far as "officialy fixing" this package (at least to my knowledge). However, here's a thought:

A very Manual Work-around...

If you grab the "previous release" of the vst2sdk AUR package (prior to said 5/20/2024 update - i.e. Commit ending in 3fda6) it will build using said cached archive.org copy of the previous vst36 SDK download... Then one could modify this package's PKGBUILD file to depend on vst2sdk (instead of AUR steinberg-vst36 which no longer exists) and one would get a working build...

I can confirm that this work-around does work.

Why I haven't made any changes yet...

I'm reluctant to do any of this "Manual Workaround" officially for the following reasons: 1) I don't control the vst2sdk package 2) I'm pretty sure referencing the vst36 SDK download from archive.org might get said AUR package DMCA'ed as well as I do not want to knowingly violate any software licensing agreements (no matter how much I disagree with them on principle).

I'm not giving up, but I wanted to share those thoughts since adopting this package. I'm also open to suggestions.

build fails with this error: CMake Error at Helpers.cmake:5 (add_library): Cannot find source file: /usr/include/vst36/vstplugmain.cpp

replacing steinberg-vst36 with vst2sdk and vst3sdk doesn't seem to solve this

hey there, is it possible to include airwindows consolidated in this build? Cheers -nika

Dependency "steinberg-vst36" is missing (would switching to vst2sdk work?)

Edit: manually installed vst2sdk and the build worked..

@Teteros To install this package through pikaur, I had to replace "steinberg-vst36" with "vst2sdk" in the makedepends section.
