One big drawback about this is the need for VST2 SDK… I don't think we can merge this as is in nixpkgs, for licensing matters.

I'm open to suggestions on how to fix this, it would be nice to have squeezer-vst available in nixos by default, for audio people like myself.

I could cheat and bundle pre-built binary vst, but I find it silly to do so, when the project is GPLv3

This pull request has been mentioned on NixOS Discourse. There might be relevant details there:

@jpotier Thanks! A while ago, I tried to package it as well, but gave up...

So, this PR needs either:

• help in figuring out how to build the VST2 version without legal problems, or
• wait, until the upstream repo includes a VST3 version of it that we can distribute.

Meanwhile, this package definition is working (I'm using it in a personal overlay) and you can use this if you want to add squeezer to your VST collection on NixOS, by creating an overlay and adding it manually.

This is stale, and I'm not actively working on it anymore. Anyone, feel free to reopen as your own if you're interested.
