Can't get it built on Linux

[the-bass]

Thanks a lot for this project, it's exactly what I need. I am having problems building it on Linux, though. I am trying to follow the instructions in BUILDING.md:

$ uname -a

$ cmake --version

$ apt-get -qq update && apt-get -y install g++-multilib libc6-dev libc6-dev-i386

$ mkdir build && cd build && cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..

$ make

I'd appreciate if someone could give me a hint. It would already be helpful if someone could name a working set of versions for gcc and cmake, so I can exclude that as a problem. A working Dockerfile, of course, would be great as well.

Can someone tell me if this project is supposed to work with gcc (GCC) 5.2.0 and cmake version 3.11.1 or if I should install other versions?

Can someone tell me if using this project on Linux, what kind of VST format should I use since most Commercial VST only supports Mac and Windows, thanks in advance

I have spent a bit more time on this. In the notes for the audiofile package I have found information about the gcc version that should work and am using version 4.7.4 now. Also another error message hinted that cmake should be 3.2 or higher, so I'm using 3.2.
However I am still getting an error when running cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .. (a lot shorter this time, though, for what it's worth):

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this issue?

Hey did you manage to build it @the-bass ?

I'm running it on a docker container however I'm getting an error from the libaudiofile
I'm getting a compiler error. The code in that dependency requires
Shifting a negative value left. Which is not supported in c99
I changed it to c89 but more errors appear.

@CarlosBalladares I didn't try any further to get it to run in a Docker container and went another way for my project. I'd still be happy to learn how you did it, if you get it to run!

@the-bass
This worked for me
