Hi Mark. Sorry about the last post. There are about 2 lines of info. Tried to
progress to sourceforge to download dssi-vst, but konqueror suddenly starting
using 100%+ cpu. Don't know if some disgruntled windows user has knobbled the
sourceforge dssi-vst page. I was going to DL dssi-vst and see if there was
anymore info about it in the README. Doh. Nigel.

Hi Mark.
Theres a bit about it on the DSSI home page, that I accessed from DSSI on
planetccrma audio software list.

Dave,
I'm only here for a few minutes this evening. In the make file
there seems to be more or less a a single invocation of winebuild that
has 'debug' in it. Can we just remove it?
Since the option isn't supported, and wasn't in the man page, I
don't know what Torben intended in it's use.
Anyway, part of this exercise, in my mind, is finding a solution
that works AND is maintainable out into the future. I suspect that
when we get past this we will see it as our first, small maintainance
patch. What's important is that we don't go backward with old Wine,
but always forward with new Wine.
Cheers,
Mark
Hi Mark:
Unfortunately merely removing the --debug option doesn't resolve the
options problem. Winebuild now uses "modes" to define its actions, and
those modes are further defined by a set of options pertaining to that
mode. The problem now is that I can't figure out the right combination
of mode + option(s). The --dll mode requires a .spec or .def file
that's not present in the xfst package. The --exe mode requires no spec
file, but either it's not working as advertised or I'm still missing
something about it. One of those modes is supposed to be used when
winebuild creates a .c file. Btw, this is wine-20050930, I think you're
on the same version, yes ?
Yes.
We should also be sure to test DSSI.
What's DSSI? Answering self:
http://dssi.sourceforge.net/
From a quick read, how does DSSI allow me to run
commercial VST's? Not
clear. Seems like something homegrown that competes.
As far as I can tell, the vstserver
project is dead, and the fst project is on a back-burner, so perhaps we
should concentrate on xfst and dss-vst with the latest WINE releases ?
xfst & latest Wine - definitely yes. What's dss-vst? Google didn't
tell me anything. Also,
I'm in the process of rewriting the VST+Linux tutorial, I'm
displacing the vstserver and fst material and putting up front new
material regarding my experience with xfst and DSSI. It should be
completed tomorrow (I'm not at my Demudi machine).
Seems possibly a bit premature based on these results but I probably
don't have a good view. Clearly the jack_fst stuff that's been there
for the last year or more is probably no longer helpful to many. It
seems like xfst and at least last months Wine is probably a better
solution, but has it been tested with enough VST's to think it works
well? Performance? xruns? All the messy stuff of real life? ;-)
I certainly agree that any writing you do will be helpful.
Cheers,
Mark
