Of course it can be done, VST is just a simple header file.
But there is no reason to, as almost no programs supports VST,
and almost none free non-gui/platform-independent-gui open source vst
plugins exist.
Additional, theres the political reasons. VST is closely tied
to Steinberg, and its license is stupid (and possibly evil as well).
So descent open-source people rather use ladspa or dssi instead.
(Why hasn't anyone made a ladspa plugin with a GUI by the way? Its
really simple just spawning of a gui process program.)
in LADSPA you cant feed back the control signal of the GUI to the host
app. so it doesn really make sense to have an own GUI for a LADSPA
plug...
things are different with dssi though.
(thats what dssi is for... apart from midi in)
for VSTs
natively compiled on Linux
Can this be done?
