+Yet Another way to use Windows VST plugins on Linux. Yabridge seamlessly
+supports using both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows VST2 and VST3 plugins in a
+64-bit Linux VST host as if they were native VST2 and VST3 plugins, with
+optional support for plugin groups to enable inter-plugin communication
+for VST2 plugins and quick startup times. Its modern concurrent
+architecture and focus on transparency allows yabridge to be both fast
+and highly compatible, while also staying easy to debug and maintain.
+
+This script will build yabridge bitbridge both 64bit and 32bit
+on Slackware64 and only 32bit plugin host on Slackware32 with
+yabridgectl helper tool for all versions of Slackware.
+This program depends on any 64+32 (Slackware64) or 32 (Slackware32)
+version of wine with esync and/or fsync. No ARM support yet.
+
+Make sure you have configured you're system with real-time priority.
+visit https://docs.slackware.com and search: minimizing_latency
+Don't forget WINEESYNC=1 or WINEFSYNC=1 environment variables or
+you will have problems with performance and xruns.
+You can set them in /etc/profile like this:
+export WINEFSYNC=1
+export WINEESYNC=1
+
+Read the documentation in /usr/doc/yabridge-*
+
+OPTIONAL DEPENDENCIES NOT NEEDED FOR COMPILING

+winetricks: For correct fonts displayed by plugins
+rtirq: For better latency of audio peripherals
