Any successful WSL use? ("Windows Subsystem for Linux")

[JohnnyMarnell]

Hello @psobot old friend!

I can't seem to get pedalboard VST3's to load on WSL, in case anyone is equally masochistic and had success? (It works on Mac + Windows native and probably Linux native, but this plugin binary isn't Linux, plus I don't have a machine to test on hand).

Easy way to get more info here?

% scp /tmp/vst.py desktop_windows: ; scp /tmp/vst.py desktop_wsl:
% python3.12 /tmp/vst.py ; ssh desktop_windows 'python vst.py' ; ssh desktop_wsl 'python3.12 vst.py'

This simple hello world I'm using:

import os
import platform
from pedalboard import VST3Plugin
import sys

    system = platform.system()

    if system == "Darwin":
        return "/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/FabFilter Pro-Q 3.vst3"
    elif system == "Linux":
        if "microsoft" in platform.uname().release.lower():
            return "/mnt/c/Program Files/Common Files/VST3/FabFilter Pro-Q 3.vst3"
        else:
            raise Exception("No Linux binary, plus I no have-y machine-y")
    elif system == "Windows":
        return r"C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\FabFilter Pro-Q 3.vst3"
    else:
        raise Exception("Unknown environment")


print(f"OS {platform.system()} py {sys.version.split()[0]} is using {vst_path()}")
assert os.path.exists(vst_path()), "VST3 plugin not found"
plugin = VST3Plugin(vst_path())
print(f"Loaded {plugin.descriptive_name}")
