Suil is a lightweight C library for loading and wrapping LV2 plugin UIs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Suil makes it possible to load a UI of any toolkit in a host using any
|
||
|
|
other toolkit (assuming the toolkits are both supported by Suil).
|
||
|
|
Hosts do not need to build against or link to foreign toolkit libraries
|
||
|
|
to use UIs written with that toolkit; all the necessary magic is performed
|
||
|
|
by dynamically loaded modules. The API is designed such that hosts do not
|
||
|
|
need to explicitly support specific toolkits at all - if Suil supports
|
||
|
|
a particular toolkit, then UIs in that toolkit will work in all hosts
|
||
|
|
that use Suil automatically.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Suil currently supports every combination of Gtk 2, Qt 4, and X11, e.g. with
|
||
|
|
Suil a Gtk program can embed a Qt plugin UI without depending on Qt,
|
||
|
|
and a Qt program can embed a Gtk plugin UI without depending on Gtk.
|
||
|
|
On Windows, embedding native UIs in Gtk is also supported.
|
||
|
|
I (David Robillard) would be happy to work with plugin authors
|
||
|
|
to add support for new toolkits, please contact me if you're interested
|
||
|
|
in writing a plugin UI using a toolkit that is not yet
|
||
|
|
supported in the LV2 ecosystem.
