OSC is weird.

Announcing the 20070418 release of WhySynth, a
DSSI softsynth
plugin.
New since the last major release:
* Two new oscillator modes: phase distortion similar to that used
in the Casio CZ series synths, and another FM mode.
* GUI enhancements.
* Improvements to the envelope generators, making them more
responsive to realtime parameters changes.
* A few new patches.
* Some GCC 4 fixes.
Find WhySynth here:

and plugins can be found here:

Thanks for this great synth!
I built it for my new system, and the GTK libs were discovered by configure, and the gtk
WhySynth stuff was apparently built and stuffed into /usr/local/lib/dssi/whysynth, as
expected:
checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... yes (version 2.8.20)
GTK support: yes (version 2.0)
checking for ALSA... yes
checking for COMMON... yes
checking for PLUGIN... yesl
checking for GUI... yes
But when I launch whysynth via jack_dssi_host, I get only a headless WhySynth instance,
no GUI.
Mind you, I like headless stuff with no GUI, but in this case, I'd really like to
have some way of adjusting parameters and patches, and the GUI that worked with the old
version was plenty useful.
It appears that the GUI is running, but it too is headless:
