Requirements:
+ libc6, libstdc++ for gcc 4.x or later
+ libgdk-3 (you can also target headless or libgdk-2 if you build your own
libSwell from WDL, see below)
+ ALSA
Supported architectures:
+ x86_64
+ i686 (with SSE2)
+ ARM with Thumb2+ and VFP (Raspberry Pi 2 or later, Chromebooks)
Installation:
1) You can run REAPER directly from the extracted .tar.xz -- simply navigate to
REAPER/ and run "reaper".
2) If you would like to install REAPER to your system (either globally in /opt,
or in ~/opt) and/or integrate with the desktop environment, you can run the
included "install-reaper.sh" script from the terminal. It will offer you
choices on how to proceed. If you choose to install REAPER, the script will
also generate an uninstall script in order to remove it at a later date.
You can always install a new version over the old version, there is no need to
remove the old version first.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This version of REAPER uses libSwell.so, which by default targets libgdk-3. You
can build your own version if you wish to make a headless REAPER install, or if
you would like to target libgdk-2, or if you want to customize and/or improve
libSwell!
To build libSwell:
SWELL_SUPPORT_GTK=1 -- Load and initialize full GTK+ rather than just GDK.
This fixes compatibility issues with some plug-ins
that use GTK+3, but prevents using GTK+2 plug-ins.
Once your make succeeds, you can do (replace ~/reaper_linux_x86_64/REAPER/ with the
actual path)
