Let me get this straight...
You guys are NOT using the Windows version of Reaper so you can use Carla to run WindowsVST's on the Linux version of Reaper... when the Windows version of reaper runs just fine in Wine...?
BTW I don't know what the expected behavior of the panning knobs is, they work with latest libSwell but they are very erratic to mouse input
The Linux version is native to Linux as the OSX version is native to OSX and as the Windows version is native to Windows.
Same goes for Ardour and Tracktion and Bitwig etc and their OS native versions.
Wine can run Windows Reaper on Linux but it's running another operating system version through layers.
Linux native Reaper is a Linux app and so is Carla and Carla can use Wine to load some Windows vst's, but the focus is on using the native OS version of Reaper on that operating system rather than using another OS version of Reaper through Wine layers.
There are quite a few Linux native vst's around now and using them with maybe the occasional Windows vst via Carla (and lv2 via Carla) might be the way to go for some.
A user could have Linux native Reaper and Wine Windows Reaper set up and bounce between them if they wanted to.
A user could maybe run both Windows Ardour using Wine and Linux native Ardour on Linux as well.
A user could run the Windows Reaper version on OSX via Wine.
Whatever.
The Linux native version uses GDK and is a compiled Linux native app and connects directly to Jack.
The updates are against the 534 Reaper Linux version, so that version should be used together with the latest libswell from the WDL github.
For anyone who doesn't know
download the 534 version of Linux Reaper (do a search for Landoleet/dev)
download WDL from github (do a search for WDL github Justin)
change into the swell directory and make GDK3=1 or make GDK2=1
copy the libswell.so to where the Reaper binary program is.
