Hi, Im coding a VST host for windows and linux. The
linux version will
support VSTs compiled on linux and not using wine or aything. Of course,
there is not alot of native linux VST plugins around but that will
change (I already made one :P )
:) cool welcome abord. so you ported vstGUI ?
how will that work ?
does a vst plugin coder only recompile his plug then ?
There is one challange though, event dispatching in X11. Unlike windows,
X11 windows doesnt have an assotiated window proc for dispatching
events. I can overcome this in my own gui toolkit by passing a Display*
pointer to the plugin etc, but it wouldnt work with other gui toolkits.
So how do I make a soution that work with any toolkits on linux?
we are still searching for a solution with a window generated in the
same process. with different toolkits etc.
to my knowledge
this has not really been solved. believe me, there would be a much nicer
standard than dssi already.
1) the plugin calls its own event loop in effEditIdle
2) make a new atom "wndproc" for storing wndproc function per window,
the host will send XEvents to the wndproc if found.
I prefer 1) but I dont know if toolkits supports manually calling the
event loop?
i am not sure i understand what you want to do but.....
for gtk see:
