Why no VST3 export on Linux?

[forrcaho]

I noticed there were vst3-related files installed to Linux when I updated the uninstall script, but the VST3 export menu item is not included on the Linux build.

I naïvely tried removing the conditional compilation to see if it would work, but when I tried to save a VST3 on my Linux machine, it wanted to save a .so file, and I guessed that it was creating a VST instead of a VST3.

What issues are preventing the creation of VST3s on Linux? What would it take to get that to work?

No issues I'm aware of. VST3 wasn't supported by JUCE when I started this, and I never got around to adding support on Linux when it did become available. Take a look through https://github.com/rorywalsh/cabbage/blob/develop/Source/Utilities/CabbageExportPlugin.cpp
You'll probably be able to hack that to allow VST3 exporting. You're on a roll ;)
