48No binaries are included, you'll need to compile the plugins yourself.

52BUILDING
53========
54To build the plugins the you'll need the following items installed:
55* a working build environment with core includes
56* the lv2 header file (lv2.h)
57* the gtk2 developer libraries & includes
58* the cairo developer libraries & includes
59* the glade2 developer libraries & includes
60
61Go to the directory that was created when you unpacked this archive and then run:
62
63make
64make install-user (to install in ~/.lv2)
65or
66make install-sys (as root to install in /usr/local/lib/lv2)
67
68Change the Makefile if you'd like to have them in an alternate system location.

72BUILDING (Debian and derivatives)
73=================================
74Packages for Debian and derivatives (Ubuntu etc) can be built from this archive. You'll need a Debian build environment.
75To install the build environment and dependancies run the following:
76
77sudo apt-get install build-essential debhelper fakeroot lv2core libgtk2.0-dev
78
79Go to the directory that was created when you unpacked this archive and then run:
80
81dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -tc
82
83Once done you'll find a 'deb' package for your system in the directory above. Use your favourite package manager to install.
84The plugins will install into "/usr" by default.

88PACKAGES (Ubuntu and derivatives)
89=================================
90Pre built binary packagaes for ubuntu are available from https://launchpad.net/~invada/+archive/ppa
91
92
93
94PACKAGING FOR DISTROS
95=================================
96An alternative download is available at launchpad which has no 'debian' packaging information in it. Look for the 'nopkg' tarball.
97When building in fakeroot type environments, the installation directory can be prefixed with a destination directory like so:
98make install-sys DESTDIR='/a/fake/root/location'
99which will install into /a/fake/root/location/usr/local/lib/lv2
