SOLVED: Installed Yabridge and yabridge ctrl but still have to use Terminal?
Is that correct? even though installed automatically from pacman, I can not locate these in the program list, so I am assuming they must be run from terminal, yes?
If so, what is the procedure please? Not for setting u[ VST's that is on the Yabridge page, I mean opening yabridge in the first place? Last edited by pax-eterna; 07-28-2021 at 05:51 PM. |

~/.local/share/yabridge/yabridgectl add "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/VSTPlugins/" The second command says now bridge (sync) the plugins at the location from the first command. ~/.local/share/yabridge/yabridgectl sync Then you are done unless you add more Windows plugins where you would need to run only the sync command again so that they get bridged. |

Cool, thanks Glenn... I'm sure the last time around on the mery go round I asked about this, but couldn't recall where.
EDIT: tried that first command and got : bash: /.local/share/yabridge/yabridgectl: No such file or directory - I'm assuming as it was an automated install it would be the same syntax as your post? |

That expands to /home/USERNAME, and if you omit it, you will get the error you saw. ~/.local/share/yabridge/yabridgectl sync |

When installing yabridge through a package manager like pax-eterna did, yabridgectl will just be installed to /usr/bin/yabridge. Pacman won't place any files in your home directory. So you should just run `yabridge`, since it's in your search path, not `~/.local/share/yabridge/yabridgectl` because that doesn't exist. (don't include the backticks of course)

As mentioned in the readme, you either install yabridge-bin which, being a -bin package, means that you won't have to compile anything, or you install both the yabridge and the yabridgectl packages. But, if you're not planning to use any Windows plugins then, there's also no reason to even install any of this in the first place. REAPER supports native Linux VST2, VST3, and LV2 plugins out of the box.

Yabridge isn't for running anything other than Windows VST, in Linux. It's not for running any "apps" at all. You don't need it to run anything that Wine could run. Yabridge uses Wine (it has to), but Yabridge isn't Wine.
As for whether those apps will run in Wine or not, that's another story. (Including if they're supposed to talk to some hardware using Windows drivers.) |

After it compiled I ran REAPER without doing a sync to confirm that a newer version was in place. I got the version mismatch error that I expected to see. So then I opened a terminal and thought, "Yabridge is in the path now" and I issued "yabridgectl sync", but to my surprise, I got back "bash: yabridgectl: command not found". Then I issued the full command I had used previously, ~/.local/share/yabridge/yabridgectl sync which worked and REAPER opened with no error. Is this a case of some config file that was in place from the original zipped version, so yabridge ends up where I used to run it? Issuing "cd /usr/bin/yabridge" results in, bash: cd: /usr/bin/yabridge: No such file or directory I searched my whole drive, and yabridgectl was only found in my .local/share/yabridge folder.

I had only tried the AUR version to see what the compile time was like. |

You can also use the yabridge-bin AUR package which simply repackages the prebuilt yabridge and yabridgectl binaries from GitHub. Installing that is even faster than manually downloading and extracting tarballs.

Thanks Robbert. I might just give that a go.
