Greetings:
All of this points up why I wish the tutorials were wiki-ized. The fst
1.6 package has not been repaired, even though I sent a notice to the
developers quite some time ago. I certainly deplore the existence of
misleading information as much as anyone else, but I simply can't keep
up with things like this anymore.
I'm sorry for wasting your time, Mark, and I hope you get things
operational despite my instructions. ;) I know how it feels: yesterday
I spent an hour compiling xine for my laptop, only to find that the UI
wouldn't build unless I used a newer version of the library. Grrr...
Luke, if you or anyone else can supply me with updated
compile/installation/configuration details for libfst or the vstserver
I'll do one more update on the tutorial. Please try to point out where
my tutorial is failing for you and I'll make the necessary changes.
Best regards,

But in the end Dave, and will significant kind help from the guys on the
Ardour-Dev chat server, I now have the full version of NI's Battery
working under jack_fst-1.2/fst_1.6/wine-20040505 and it works perfectly
as far as I can tell. It hasn't crashed on my once in a few hours of
using it. The GUI seems perfect. sound it great. Hooks up to Rosegarden
and the timing seems good to me. (Not that much testing, but come
certainly.)
The only problem I had was that for some reason the second disk, which
contains all the drum kits, reads in correupted files on my Linux box.
The CD is fine itself. I took the files in question, saved them on a
windows machine, and then wrote a new CD. That CD copied just fine.
This is NOT a copy protected CD so it's nothing like that. It just
doesn't read correctly and puts corrupted files on my drive. Strange...
Very cool to be able to run this run drum sampler on my Linux box!
I entered it on Tim's Linux VST site.
cheers,
Mark
