# build-lives-rfx-plugin-multi(1)

builds rendered effects for LiVES

## NAME

build-lives-rfx-plugin-multi - builds rendered effects for LiVES

## SYNOPSIS

**build-lives-rfx-plugin-multi** type \[scripts\_dir exec\_dir\] \[build\_bindir\]

## DESCRIPTION

This perl script builds rendered effects (RFX) plugins for LiVES. If scripts\_dir is not defined then type is used to locate the plugin scripts directory and output directory. Type can be builtin (the default), custom,\
  test, or builtinx. The type builtinx forces scripts\_dir and exec\_dir to be read from parameters and is used during LiVES install, and is the only type which should be used if scripts\_dir is specified.

Each plugin script in input directory is scanned to find its language code. The script is then passed to the script compiler for that language. The directory location of the script\_compiler may be specified by the build\_bindir parameter (as is the case during LiVES installation0; otherwise the user's $PATH will be searched.

Return values the script returns the following values

0 - success 1 - the "type" parameter was not defined, or set to an invalid value 3 - the builder for a plugin script was not found
