Rack is the engine for the VCV open-source virtual Eurorack DAW.
This README includes instructions for building Rack from source. For information about the software, go to https://vcvrack.com/.
Bug reports, feature requests, and even questions/discussions are welcome on the GitHub Issue Tracker for all VCVRack repos. However, please search before posting to avoid duplicates.
You may vote on feature requests by using the Thumbs Up/Down reaction on the first post.
Rack's dependencies (GLEW, glfw, etc) do not need to be installed on your system, since specific versions are compiled locally during the build process. However, you need proper tools to build these dependencies.
Install Xcode. Install CMake and wget, preferably from Homebrew.
Install MSYS2 and launch the mingw64 shell (not the default msys2 shell). Install build dependencies with the pacman package manger.
pacman -S git make tar unzip mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake
With your distro's package manager, make sure you have installed gcc
, make
, cmake
, tar
, and unzip
.
If the build fails for you, please report the issue with a detailed error message to help the portability of Rack.
Clone this repository and cd
into it.
If you would like to build a previous version instead of the master branch, run git checkout v0.3.2
for example.
Clone submodules.
git submodule update --init --recursive
Build dependencies locally.
You may use make's -j$(nproc)
flag to parallelize builds across all your CPU cores.
make dep
You should see a message that all dependencies built successfully.
Build Rack.
make
Run Rack.
make run
Clone your favorite plugin in the plugins/
directory. e.g.:
cd plugins
