How to have a beautiful interface

[TheFtg]

Hi,

Thanks for your works.

I use Mixbus (a cousin of Ardour) and I use calf plugins from your "brew compilation" with generic UI. It works fine.

But are they a meaning to have the nice UI ?

I try
brew install gtk+ cairo
brew reinstall calf

With no success ... It must be a little more complex ... what can I try ?

I use macbook pro with M1 .

Regards
David

Hi David,

try brew install calf --with-cairo --with-gtk+ to build with the GUI.

Unfortunately I expect that it will not really work reliably because of the problems with using GTK for plugin GUIs.

Hi David,
Indeed, no miracle. The button "edit" of the plugin in Mixbux , is enable. The plugin is launched with no ui mode but I have the "wheel" if I launch the graphics part.
Is the pb located? Can we help?

Not sure what you mean with pb?!

I tried with Mixbus and for me it just segfaults directly:

0   org.ardour.Mixbus6            	0x0000000100c4c9b3 LV2PluginUI::lv2ui_instantiate(std::string const&) + 4675

Thats kind of what I expect, since Mixbus is compiled against a different dependency stack/ABI.

You could try to compile the plugin with the same GTK/suil/lv2 versions, but I think its everything but easy.
