A lot of the LinVst changes over the last year were to support Waves in a solid sort of way and submitting corresponding changes to the Wine code to support Kontakt and Waves Central.
Are you part of the linvst development ? Just asking. It's such a corner stone for musical production that it would be nice to know that there's a direct contact here.
Cheers.
Yes I am.

Hi,
I've got the Linux, as well as the Windows version via wine of
GR FloorBoard installed.
Code: Select all
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ ls -hAl /usr/local/bin/gr-55_floorboard*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 Apr 30 2018 /usr/local/bin/gr-55_floorboard -> /opt/gr-55_floorboard/packager/GR-55FloorBoard
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 114 May 4 2018 /usr/local/bin/gr-55_floorboard_wine
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ cat /usr/local/bin/gr-55_floorboard_wine
#!/bin/dash
wine '/home/rocketmouse/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/GR-55FloorBoard/GR-55FloorBoard.exe' &
exit
The Linux version is that buggy, that it is rendered useless, while the Windows version installed to wine works without any issues at all.
This post isn't an April Fools' joke. Just saying, since I hope another post to the forum, an April Fools' joke, will pass moderation.
Regards,
Ralf

I've got the Linux 64 bit version of this, and it works. Your paths look odd. On my system floorboard is an executable in the GR-55 folder -- it's not in /opt or /usr/local/bin.
I've got this working on KX, AV 32 bit and Arch. The 32 bit version was the most difficult to get working as it needed libraries, like libjasper. It didn't work on a standard Ubuntu, so it seems to prefer it if JACK is running.

There's nothing odd with the path. I tested the pre-build Linux binary and I compiled it myself. One issues with the Linux version is, that on my Arch Linux install only a bulk dump of 25 or less patches works. A bulk dump of more patches doesn't. The other issue is, that it could crash while editing a sound. Using the Windows version it's possible to dump all patches at once and it never crashes.
