I believe this has been said here before, but: In that file aeffectx.h,
after having run the fixheaders script, I had to manually change one
line in it (exactly the line where your error appears, 934):
Change from:
   VstFileType *fileTypes; // list of fileTypes
to:
   struct VstFileType *fileTypes; // list of fileTypes

Then it compiled&linked fine for me (though on my Debian system I still
keep having this problem that any program using libfst/wine gets stuck
at one point, eating 100% CPU doing nothing - which has also been reported
here before).

Greetings,
Frank
