cargo-reaper-link

NAME

cargo-reaper-link -- Manually symlink extension plugin(s) to REAPER's UserPlugins directory.

SYNOPSIS

cargo-reaper link [path]...

DESCRIPTION

Manually symlink one or more extension plugins to REAPER's UserPlugins directory.

This may be useful in circumstances where finer grain control is necessary between building and symlinking the plugin, for instance, in CI or when using build tools like Nix or Docker.

By default cargo-reaper-build will symlink extension plugins automatically, unless specified otherwise.

OPTIONS

-h
--help

EXAMPLES

1. Create a symlink from an absolute path to a compiled REAPER extension plugin to REAPER's UserPlugins directory.

cargo reaper link /absolute/path/to/target/release/reaper_my_plugin.{so|dylib|dll}

2. Create a symlink from a relative path to a compiled REAPER extension plugin to REAPER's UserPlugins directory, using shell scripting (Linux and MacOS only).

cargo reaper link $(realpath target/release/reaper_my_plugin.*)

REAPER extension plugins are dynamically linked libraries, which have differing extension names depending on their target platform. Below is a list of platforms and their corresponding extension names, though in most cases, a regex catchall will suffice (reaper_my_plugin.*).

• Linux -- .so
• Darwin (MacOS) -- .dylib
• Windows -- .dll
