README
JUCE is an open-source cross-platform C++ application framework used for rapidly developing high quality desktop and mobile applications, including VST, AU (and AUv3), RTAS and AAX audio plug-ins. JUCE can be easily integrated with existing projects or can be used as a project generation tool via the Projucer, which supports exporting projects for Xcode (macOS and iOS), Visual Studio, Android Studio, Code::Blocks, CLion and Linux Makefiles as well as containing a source code editor and live-coding engine which can be used for rapid prototyping.
Getting Started
The JUCE repository contains a master and develop branch. The develop branch contains the latest bugfixes and features and is periodically merged into the master branch in stable tagged releases (the latest release containing pre-built binaries can be also downloaded from the JUCE website).
The repository doesn't contain a pre-built Projucer so you will need to build it for your platform - Xcode, Visual Studio and Linux Makefile projects are located in extras/Projucer/Builds (the minumum system requirements are listed in the System Requirements section below). The Projucer can then be used to create new JUCE projects, view tutorials and run examples. It is also possible to include the JUCE modules source code in an existing project directly, or build them into a static or dynamic library which can be linked into a project.
For further help getting started, please refer to the JUCE documentation and tutorials.
Minimum System Requirements
Building JUCE Projects
- macOS: macOS 10.11 and Xcode 7.3.1
- Windows: Windows 8.1 and Visual Studio 2015 64-bit
- Linux: GCC 4.8
Deployment Targets
- macOS: macOS 10.7
- Windows: Windows Vista
- Linux: Mainstream Linux distributions
