distort example produces .so file rather then .vst

[clownpriest]

I'm on a Mac. Am I doing something wrong?

You are doing nothing wrong.
What I do here is that I have a script that creates the bundle.

See here: http://pastebin.com/j058StjR (edit: change the values for something that works for you)

I might make it a proper program ouf of this script and put it in the dplug repo.

Note that currently there is multiple caveats associated with using OS X. One user told me plugins don't scan in 10.9

Let me know if it works for you and what is your system.

If you use LDC and OSX, you will need a modified dub: dlang/dub#681

Build the release tool in tools/, then build the distort example with release -c dmd or release -c ldc (default)
This will make a bundle with the .so

i'm on OS X 10.10.4. I tried to build with a dub built from your branch and got this error:

The problem is that DUB sends multiple -march flags: dlang/dub#686

If you use LDC and OSX, you need to checkout and build this modified dub: dlang/dub#681
This branch issue-635-bis is the one that will interest you, it removes duplicated -march flags, and fix other flags with LDC.

About LDC versions: ldc-0.15.2b1 should be ok but most of my testing was with ldc-0.15.2b2

Note that you can also use DMD to build plugins, which happens to work god knows why. You still need a modified DUB when using DMD.

(edit: are you sure you built a DUB from the issue-635-bis branch? you can check it in dub repo with git log and searching for a commit like this: p0nce/dub@2742c74)

[clownpriest]

i just built from the issue-635-bis branch and now it works. thank you!

[clownpriest]

Probably not an issue with dplug, but do you know why Ableton will recognize it but Logic Pro X won't? It's most likely some setting I'm not selecting within Logic.

[clownpriest]

nevermind, just realized Logic doesn't support VST's

Yes. I haven't looked yet on the AudioUnit SDK. It seems like you need inheritance from C++ classes, that should be doable with enough coffee. Probably won't be done this year.
