I’m reading iPlug2 is cross platform but can’t find the Linux scripts. Is this a planned feature? If one would implement this where would be the largest challenges? Are there any showstoppers? ---

Linux support is partly done but there is a lot more still to do you can read this lengthy issue on github > > > Reaper now runs on linux and WDL/Swell has GDK support > It shouldn't be hard to make the stand-alone app run with Linux... and try the linux branch > **[iPlug2/iPlug2](https://github.com/iPlug2/iPlug2/tree/linux)** > > C++ Audio Plug-in Framework for desktop, mobile and web \[PRE-RELEASE\] - iPlug2/iPlug2 to compile you can install the following packages … `sudo apt install build-essential libjack-dev libjack-jackd2-dev libgtk-3-dev php libx11-xcb-dev` then go to e.g. Examples\IPlugEffect and `make -f ../Makefile IDEBUG=YES APP` ---
