Greetings:
I've recently updated my tutorial on using VST/VSTi plugins under Linux :
http://www.djcj.org/LAU/quicktoots/toots/vst-plugins/
It now includes material regarding the fst project as well as the
vstserver.
Best regards,

Thanks Dave. You can be assured that I will at least be trying it out.
No luck so far with my favorite VSTi - Groove Agent. I just cannot get
audio out of it at all. Maybe your new material will help.
Thanks!

Cool!
I have questions about using jack_fst. When I run it with a VST, should
the VST interface come up or does it become available as a LADSPA plugin
in a JACK client? I only have one VST plugin I am using, the M-Tron
Mellotron emulator, and when I run it with jack_fst, nothing happens,
the program hangs and I have to 'kill -9' it eventually. If the VST
plugin also uses sample files (there are many for this synth) from a
sub-directory underneath where the binary sits, will it be able to find
them under a Linux filesystem or do I need to place them under the Wine
'fake_windows' file hierarchy?

The VSTi runs like a standalone application (which might explain why
Mark K can't get Groove Agent working). See the screenshots for the
tutorial.

Where are the samples located on a Windoze filesystem ? Are they
supposed to be installed by the Win installer ?

Yeah, it isn't working with jack_fst at all, after more experimentation.
It just hangs and I have to manually kill it all. Running under
vstserver, though, I get a unresolved symbol error when it tries to load
the DLL, and it's unusable with that as well.
They are installed in a subdirectory directly under the directory where
the VSTi dll installed. I notice the manufacturer (GMedia) has a small
utility to run the VSTi as a standalone application now. I might try
that and see if it works under Wine.

excellent work, Dave!
i just wondered whether it might be worth mentioning in
the tutorial about the tricky subject of wine versions.
Perhaps it could save a newcomer lots of headaches.
Afaik, vstserver requires an old version, fst requires a
new but not too new version, and some distributors wine
packages dont work (eg gentoo, maybe mandrake).
