Documentation of output directory target

[JorenSix]

After building successfully, or so it seems, no output is found in ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/CLAP/

Athough the readme states the following:

The plugin will be automatically built and installed to: ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/CLAP/your_file.clap

See below for the output of a CLI session:

j@laptop faust % python3 tools/faust2clap/faust2clap.py ../../../Downloads/binary\ \(3\)/untitled.dsp

@JorenSix thank you for pointing this out, I had the same issue.

Hi, did you specify the specific file path for your desired .dsp file? What I usually do is navigate to the directory where that dsp file's in and run faust2clap “name of dsp file”.dsp and it generates it without issues. I just ran it and this is what it looks like:

(base) cucu@Mac cucu % faust2clap modern_moorer.dsp     
[i] JSON metadata not available, falling back to C++ parsing.
[i] Detected as EFFECT (has 1 audio inputs)
[i] Add this to your CMakeLists.txt:
    include_directories("/Users/cucu/Documents/GitHub/faust2clap/examples/cucu/build/modern_moorer")
[*] extracted metadata:

    name:        Modern Moorer Reverb

[✓] build completed successfully. Plugin is in: /Users/cucu/Documents/GitHub/faust2clap/examples/cucu/build/modern_moorer
✓ Done in 2.84s
(base) cucu@Mac cucu % 

and then on the desired location folder it appears:

$ ls ~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/CLAP/                                                                 
  barrImplementation.clap    modern_moorer.clap    reverbDesigner.clap

etc.

Could you please try:

1. Pull the latest changes
2. cd into the directory containing your .dsp file (or otherwise specify the path)
3. Run faust2clap your_file.dsp

Thanks,
Facundo
