Linux support is partly done but there is a lot more still to do

you can read this lengthy issue on github

> <https://github.com/iPlug2/iPlug2/issues/105>
>
> 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`
