I pointed the makefile in the right direction and did not change anything else and did as was instructed and when I did “make” I got this:

make

What source code are you trying to compile?

3

Probably this Audacity ® | Free, open source, cross-platform audio software for multi-track recording and editing. but more to the point why are you compiling it? Audacity 1.3.8 and later do not need VST bridge. The current Audacity release is 2.0.3 ( Redirecting to: https://www.audacityteam.org/download ) .

Oh I had just been using the same audacity that had been on my computer, I did not know there was a new release.
Thank you for guiding me in the right direction to get this to work.

You’ve not said which “GNU/Linux/Unix-like” OS you are using, but Audacity is available in the repositories for most Linux distributions, so just installing with the package manager is usually the easiest option.

And more to the point still, Audacity doesn’t support VST plug-ins at all on Linux. Sorry, we should have made that clear. Are you are on Linux (the board you posted to)?

On Linux, you can run Audacity for Windows on Windows running in a Virtual Machine, or run Audacity for Windows under WINE. More details and other solutions are here:
