Hello,

there is a vst~ external available for pd + linux?

This plugin is the opossite (to convert pd patches to vst or I am wrong?)
http://crca.ucsd.edu/~jsarlo/pdvst/

I found this page
http://puredata.info/community/pdwiki/Vst

That redirects to:
in CVS @ /externals/grill/vst

I downloaded grill/vst but it says that I have to compile flext.

Sooooo, I compiled flext succesfully (not so easy, I am not a programmer)
http://grrrr.org/ext/flext/

Now - almost done - I have to compile somehow grill/vst but I don't understand how.

Anyone?

Moved a little bit further

cd grill/vst
bash ../flext/built.sh pd gcc PKGINFO=package.txt

It says that OS is not supported, very logical since ./grill/vst/src/main.h writes:
#if FLEXT_OS == FLEXT_OS_WIN || FLEXT_OS == FLEXT_OS_MAC

I added

|| FLEXT_OS == FLEXT_OS_LINUX

so it became

#if FLEXT_OS == FLEXT_OS_WIN || FLEXT_OS == FLEXT_OS_MAC || FLEXT_OS == FLEXT_OS_LINUX

But, some files are missing so...

cp -p build/gnumake-mac-gcc.inc build/gnumake-lnx-gcc.inc
cp -p build/config-mac.def build/config-lnx.def

vi build/config-lnx.def, to add vstsdk2.3 source path.

But HERE I am stuck. My programming skills are at 1%

I suppose that I have to include a linux header file, but I don't know which one!

I suppose this is the problem (grill/vst/src/vsthost.h):

#if FLEXT_OS == FLEXT_OS_WIN
#include <windows.h>
typedef HWND WHandle;
typedef HMODULE MHandle;
#elif FLEXT_OS == FLEXT_OS_MAC
#include <CoreServices/CoreServices.h>
typedef Handle WHandle;
typedef void *MHandle;
#else
#error Platform not supported!
#endif
