I'm using some spare vst plugins in Ardourvst 2.4.1. In my Suse 10.3 with Fluxbox I
still use wine-0.9.52 for this, because newer wineversions cause the following behaviour
of the vst gui: when opening the vst gui, there are 2 windows popping up, the one is
empty, only showing enable/disable button, the other one is the functional vst gui.
Reopening them a second time after having them closed is impossible, the vst gui remains
disappeared. I then have to close and restart Ardourvst for newly gaining access to the
vst gui. Under KDE I have this strange behaviour with every wine version (but this
doesn't bother me so much because I love Fluxbox anyway).
And: YES, I did activate the "allow windowmanager to ... (or so)" option in
wineconfig.
Now, in most actual Suse 11, there is no way to downgrade wine (or I just didn't yet
find a way).
my question: does anybody experience similar problems and how do you solve them?
thanks
Susanne

It's been a while since I built & ran ArdourVST, but I don't recall
having that problem. However, recently someone mentioned that dropping
the native Windows gdiplus.dll into the Wine system might help correct
some VST misbehavior. IIRC you'll also need to add it in the Libraries
tab in winecfg. Make sure the load order is native Windows first, then
the built-in (if there is a built-in of that dll for Wine).
Sorry I can't help more. We're pretty much on our own when it comes to
VST + Ardour. :-/
Best,

Hi Susanne,
I am not familar with Ardourvst, but I have found that vsthost which is based
on DSSI-VST has been the best way for me so far to get my VST to run. And
newer versions of wine have not changed that. On my debian-based distribution
I can easyly update wine and (which occurs rarely) DSSI-VST.
Do You need Ardourvst as a host for running VSTs (only)? If so You might have
greater success in getting Your VSTs to run if You use DSSI-VST.
Have You had a look at websites that tell if a particular VST (Your VSTs) runs
on linux, and with which VST host?
Regards,
Crypto.
