Using this as a submodule or subtree -named `waflib` in a project allows waf to be used without including binary -encoded data in the waf script. This gets along with revision control and -distributions better, among other advantages, without losing -self-containedness. +Jalv is a simple but fully featured LV2 host for Jack which exposes plugin +ports to Jack, essentially making any LV2 plugin function as a Jack +application. +For more information, see <http://drobilla.net/software/jalv>. -To use this in a project, add this repository as a directory named `waflib` in -the top level of the project, and link or copy `waf` to the top level. +Jalv is a small program which is useful, but also intended to be an appropriate +test host for plugin development. It runs plugins from the command line with +no user interaction, is light enough to run in valgrind, and is capable of +dumping all communication between the plugin and its UI in a human readable +format. -Two waf extras are also included: `autowaf.py` and `lv2.py`. - -The `autowaf.py` module is a kitchen sink of Python utilities for building -consistent packages, and can be imported in a wcript as -`waflib.extras.autowaf`. - -The `lv2.py` extra defines options for LV2 plugin installation paths. It can -be used by calling `opt.load('lv2')` and `conf.load('lv2')` in the appropriate -locations in a wscript. +To make it simple to test plugins in hosts that use different toolkits, there +are several Jalv executables: jalv, jalv.gtk, jalv.gtk3, jalv.gtkmm, jalv.qt4, +and jalv.qt5. -- David Robillard <d@drobilla.net> |
