Summary0006030: Ardour doesn't follow symlinks or searching recursive for linux vst plugins
DescriptionArdour3.5.3558 (built using 3.5-3558-g4a17f9e and GCC version 4.9.2)

I installed the U-he plugins to test, but after adding the ~/.vst path into edit-preferences-plugis ardour isn't finding the plugins.

The plugins are installed in ~/.u-he/Ace etc, but the ~/.u-he directory is symlinked into ~/.vst/u-he

I placed a vst plugin(AF210.so) in ~/.u-he and ardour didn't find it also. I had to add ~/.u-he for finding the plugin, so symlinks aren't being followed.

Now the u-he plugins are place in subdirectories and ardour wasn't able to find them also. I had to add every subdirectory for the plugins.

On the end i had a 'big' list.

~/.u-he/Ace
~/.u-he/Diva
~/.u-he/Bazille
~/.u-he/Podolski
~/.u-he/Satin
~/.u-he/Uhbik
...


I suppose it's not the intension that you have to add subdirectories and add vst path however there are symlinks provided.

mmh works here:

rgareus@soyuz:/usr/local/lib/lxvst-uhe$ ls -l
total 28
lrwxrwxrwx 1 rgareus rgareus 33 Nov 17 10:29 ACE.32.so -> /home/rgareus/.u-he/ACE/ACE.32.so

lrwxrwxrwx 1 rgareus rgareus 41 Nov 17 10:31 ZebraCM.32.so -> /home/rgareus/.u-he/ZebraCM/ZebraCM.32.so


I ran the u-he installer as ./install.sh --vstdir=/usr/local/lib/lxvst-uhe/
and added /usr/local/lib/lxvst-uhe/ in the preference dialog. Then 're-scan'.

IIUC the problem is not symlinks - but that Ardour does not search subfolders
e.g vst-path = ~/.vst/ does not look for plugins in ~/.vst/u-he/

is that correct?

You are correct. Tried it again with symlink to a plugin on different location and ardour found it. It's indeed that it's not searching in subdirectories.

This was resolved in Ardour 4.0 (really 3.5-4593-ga2d1f894b0 2015-03-03)
