| description | Build, package, and install the Synth Duster plugin into the local VCV Rack 2 user plugin directory so it can be tested in the running app. Use after a build to actually see the change in Rack. |
Run from the repo root:
make install RACK_DIR=$HOME/Rack-SDK
This:
- Compiles (same as
make).
- Creates
dist/Duster/ with the dylib + res/ + plugin.json.
- Packages it as
dist/Duster-2.0.0-mac-arm64.vcvplugin (zstd-compressed tar).
- Copies the
.vcvplugin into ~/Library/Application Support/Rack2/plugins-mac-arm64/.
The user needs to restart VCV Rack 2 to pick up the new plugin
binary. The module shows up under the Synth Duster brand in the
module browser.
For iterative testing, after make install tell the user to restart
Rack and try the specific behaviour the change was supposed to affect
(drag, mode switch, cable contact, etc.). Don't claim a change "works"
without the user confirming visually — neither tests nor a successful
build verify UX.
