Re: [PD-announce] PureVST version 0.8

I managed to build it on Debian following the README that comes with the 
source. You'll need the VST SDK for Linux before building. Mind to first 
build libpd inside the Pd sources, not PureVST (it is mentioned in the 
README, but someone might miss it - confession, that was me...). Also 
make sure to correct the paths in the CMakeLists.txt. It's lines 13 and 
14, below the comment that reads that you need to do exactly that.

What you need to do is copy and paste each command from the right place 
(firstly from Pd source/libpd, then inside PureVST to edit 
CMakeLists.txt, and lastly from the `build` directory which you will make).

Explicitly, first go to pd_source/libpd and type:

```
make MORECFLAGS=-DVST_CLEANSER 
MORESRC=[...path-to...]/purevst/source/vst_cleanser.c
```

Then, inside PureVST change the paths in CMakeLists.txt (lines 13 and 14).

Then, create a `build` directory inside the PureVST directory and change 
to it.

Then, inside the `build` directory, type:

```
SRC=[...path-to...]/purevst
```

```
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release 
-DSMTG_ENABLE_VST3_PLUGIN_EXAMPLES=FALSE 
-DSMTG_ENABLE_VST3_HOSTING_EXAMPLES=FALSE -DHOME=$HOME $SRC
```

Then

```
cmake --build .
```

When I built it, a symlink was created in ~/.vst3 for PureVST, so I 
didn't need to do anything.
