LADSPA Dependency

Greetings!
I've had experience with both audio/midi, and with Linux, but I'm new to Linux audio/midi. I'm trying to build Qtractor on a Ubuntu 16.4 machine. It builds ok, (configure, make, and make install complete with no errors) but there is no lv2 support.

I did install the lv2 package. But ./configure shows a list of lv2 capabilities as not avaliable (just say as "no" in the list)

I tried to install LADSPA on my machine, but ladspa.org is now just a placeholder for a domain name reseller.

There is an archive site that can be reached from Wikipedia, but that lists a header file and an SDK. I'm not sure what to do. Should I try to install the SDK? Is that the dependency?

Thanks in advance!

try this,

- for having LADSPA support, which is mandatory anyway, you shall install ladspa-sdk package;
- for having LV2 support, you need lv2-dev and liblilv-dev at least to most of those options become a positive "yes";

hth.
cheers

Awesome!
"sudo apt-get install lv2-dev", and "sudo apt-get install liblilv-dev" did the trick.
Lots of plugins available now. Thank you!
