Okay, a few things:
Are you starting jack_fst from /usr/lib/wine, i.e., from the same
directory as the plugin ?
I removed the spaces too, it works fine.
You don't need to start Wine. These applications (jack_fst, vsti) make
use of libwine's functions, you don't need to run Wine before starting
jack_fst.
Try these steps:
Make sure Jack is running (I use Rui Nuno Capela's qjackctl).
Open a terminal, enter this command from your home directory prompt:
jack_fst /usr/lib/wine/HyperCanvas
Let me know what happens.
Also, please
give me some more detail about how you're launching the plugin.
vsti, namely Hyper Canvas, is in /usr/lib/wine directory. Name had a
space in it so I truncated it because clearly fst want's it that way.
Then with Wine running, from a shell as user "jack_fst HyperCanvas"
Jack_fst is responding...If jack isn't running, it complains.
Dig it! I wasn't slamming you or the quick
toot...and I think you know
that...and I am greatful it was there at all because frankly, it's the
ONLY reference material for any of the vst implementations out there!
Just saying it would be nice to cover the stuff like "oh...BTW, here's
what the hell ./mkdirectories, or whatever it was, means and it's bloody
well not there! :) That one cost me an hour!!!
No slam taken, I think you're being pretty patient with the whole thing.
I'd have given up a while ago... ;)
The tutorial should be wiki-ized. I wrote it testing libfst 1.5, the
mkinstalldirs bug's in 1.6. I do try to be specific about version
numbers tested, but I don't have time to keep the tutorial up to date.
There is a small but very active community of VST/VSTi plugin testers,
and I would rather see the users keep the tutorial current. Wikis seem
like a good way to maintain things like the toot.
