Luke,
First, thanks for the help. It's working now. I wouldn't have gotten
there without your inputs.
Now, I was not able to quite understand what you meant above but,
since fst_1.5 works and fst_1.6 doesn't, I thought I'd find a copy of
mkinstalldirs in the fst_1.5 directory somewhere and get that. I was
surprised to find that it wasn't there either.
I then did a compare of the two Makefiles and it turned out that the
fst_1.6 Makefile had two extra lines in it concerning mkinstalldirs. As
an experiment I commented one out and moved the other since a comment
seemed to upset vim. Now fst_1.6 builds!
I do not understand how fst_1.5 and fst_1.6 really generate these
Makefiles but clearly there are differences.
There is the one mistake in the instructions on
the QuickToot page where
it seems to tell me to run fixheaders from the wrong place, but I
haven't figured out how to get past this.
You need to get the vst header files, and put them in the vst subdirectory
of the tarball. Then from the vst directory, run ../fixheaders. However, there
is more you have to do to the headers. I am not at my audio box right now, and
can't remember off the top of my head.
Yes - your instructions were correct, and this is what I was doing.
My comment was more that Dave's instructions didn't tell you to cd to
vst before doing ../fixheaders. That's all.
So I now have 1.6 built (I guess...) and I'll see if I can get
jack_fst and Ardour rebuilt to take advantage of this.
Cheers,
Mark
