New subject: New(ish) OSS synth plugin

 Hi all.

 Just found out that one of the Bitwig devs has released an older (commercial)
 project of his as open source: https://github.com/kurasu/surge

 Doesn't yet build on Linux, but quoting from the github page:
 "It currently only builds on windows, but getting it to build on macOS again &
 Linux should be doable with moderate effort."

 How about we get it building at the next Berlin LAU meeting?

I took a quick procrastination-shot at it:
https://github.com/kmatheussen/surge

(first copy various VST directories into the build)
premake5 gmake
make surge-vst2 verbose=1 -j8

ldd -r target/vst2/Debug/Surge-Debug.so
undefined symbol: _ZN6VSTGUI8soHandleE  (target/vst2/Debug/Surge-Debug.so)
undefined symbol:

So, a little bit work left, but maybe it's enough to link with a newer
version of
gtkmm than I did.

Don't know how well VSTGUI works on linux though. Using
gtkmm as the underlying GUI to implement VSTGUI on top of
seems worrying.
