[LAD] axonlib

[ccernn]

i'm new to lists like this, and don't know how to reply to specific 
posts in a discussion.. (teach me?)

some clarification is needed for axonlib (earlier post), i guess...

yes, axonlib is:

 >> "standalone/vst-plugin library for linux/win32"

but the plan/idea is to expand the 'vst' part to other plugin formats 
too, linux things like ladspa, dssi, (lv2), and a future mac port is 
possible. support for the various plugin/binary formats of course 
depends on the platform you compile for. there's no point in compiling a 
lv2 for windows, for example...  vst and standalone binary (exe) is 
probably the most 'universal', since they exists for all three major 
platforms..
and it's also good to be able to compile in one batch, (from a script) 
to all supported formats and platforms, with no changes to the source 
code...

and

 >> " But the standalone part doesn't quite make sense"

some things can be nice to have available as a standalone binary on 
linux, for example to use with jack.. ( but we're missing some parts for 
standalones yet, audio and midi i/o being some of them :-/ haven't 
decided on which lib/backend yet, possibly portaudio/midi )

and, it helps development a lot, when you can compile to an exe/binary 
and run it from within an ide or something, and test various small 
changes almost instantly, than needing to go through the often lengthy 
process of starting up a host, and load the plugin there,
