  1. Build system

Source directory structure

The source tree is organized as follows:

  • buildtools: Some tools used by build system or maintainers

  • cmake: CMake modules, helper scripts and installation/packaging scripts

  • data: assets such as demo projects, factory samples, translations, etc.

  • include: header files

  • plugins: built-in plugins and bundled 3rd-party plugins(ex. LADSPA plugins)

  • src: the LMMS codebase

    • src/3rdparty: source code for 3rd-party libraries used by LMMS

    • src/core: LMMS core implementation(with some GUI dependencies ATM)

    • src/gui: UI parts of LMMS

      • src/gui/widgets: Implementation of various widgets used in LMMS

    • src/tracks: Implementation of track classes which inherit Track

  • tests: Source code for unit tests
