LV2
===
LV2 is a plugin standard for audio systems. It defines an extensible C API for
plugins, and a format for self-contained "bundle" directories that contain
plugins, metadata, and other resources. See for more
information.
This package contains specifications (C headers and Turtle data files),
documentation generation tools, tests, and example plugins.
Installation
------------
See the [installation instructions](INSTALL.md) for details on how to
configure, build, and install LV2 with meson.
By default, on UNIX-like systems, everything is installed within the `prefix`,
and LV2 bundles are installed in the "lv2" subdirectory of the `libdir`. On
other systems, bundles are installed by default to the standard location for
plugins on the system. The bundle installation directory can be overridden
with the `lv2dir` option.
The [specification bundles](lv2) are run-time dependencies of LV2 applications.
Programs expect their data to be available somewhere in `LV2_PATH`. See
for details on the
standard installation paths.
Headers
-------
The `lv2/` include namespace is reserved for this LV2 distribution.
Other projects may extend LV2, but must place their headers elsewhere.
Headers are installed to `includedir` with paths like:
#include "lv2/urid/urid.h"
For backwards compatibility, if the `old_headers` option is set, then headers
are also installed to the older URI-based paths:
#include "lv2/lv2plug.in/ns/ext/urid/urid.h"
Projects still using this style are encourated to migrate to the shorter style
above.
