hi all...
this is fst-1.8.
loads vst instruments... and makes them a jack client.
you need to have lash installed to build it.
download is at:
http://galan.sf.net/fst-1.8.tar.gz
webpage is at:
http://www.joebutton.co.uk/fst
*** IMPORTANT ***
there seems to be a "BUG" in wine, which prevents simultaneous startup
of fst instances. (this happens on lash project restore)
to circumvent this you need to have a persistent wineserver running.
so just start "wineserver -p" before reloading a lash project.
i hope to be able to fine a better workaround soon. So expect this in
fst-1.8.1 which will also have complete vst state restore.
currently only the parameters are restored. But this is a good start.
please report back on wine version usage...
and yes... many vsts NEED a lashing ;)

New subject: [linux-audio-user] fst-1.8 README revised
Greetings:
Following the suggestion given at the end of the original document
I've revised the README for the FST-1.8 package.
Some questions:
1) Does the Steinberg link work for anyone ? I just get the same
page appearing over and over, no matter where I go on the site.
2) Are there other option flags besides the -r switch ?
3) What exactly does this mean :
"... it interprets transport info correctly"
Is it referring to JACK or something else ?
My edits are just minor readability improvements. Further improvements
are also welcome.
Best,
dp
Getting Started
---------------
0) Requires LASH now :
http://lash.nongnu.org
1) Download Steinberg's VST SDK, currently available here :
http://www.steinberg.de/Steinberg/Developers8b99.html
It's been known to move about in the past. Also, you must agree to Steinberg's
non-free licensing terms - that's how it is, sorry.
2) Unzip the SDK into the FST directory.
3) Type 'make'. If everything works correctly this should create an executable
file named fst.
4) To run your VST plugins :
./fst /path/to/someplugin.dll
Set up the audio/MIDI inputs and outputs with QJackCtl's Connections window.
5) Optional: To build Ardour 0.99.x with FST support :
Copy the SC* files from the Ardour directory into your Ardour build path, then build
Ardour with these flags :
scons VST=1 VSTPATH=/path/to/compiled/fst
Further notes
------------
According to the original README this software "... interprets transport info
correctly". [JACK transport or ... ?]
If Step 4 above results in a zombified plugin try running it with the -r option :
./fst -r /path/to/someplugin.dll
[Any other flags or switches ?]

New subject: [linux-audio-user] fst-1.8 README revised
Greetings:
Behold the revised standard version of the FST README.
Some further questions:
How to build FST support for Ardour2 ?
Any other options besides the -r switch ?
Contact addresses ? (a.k.a. "Who's in charge here ?!")
Btw, Ismael: Feel free to translate, it's not my project. ;-) But you
might want to wait a day or so until this version is community-ratified.
Best,
dp
Getting Started
---------------
0) Requires the following software :
LASH - http://lash.nongnu.org
JACK - http://jackit.sf.net
WINE - http://www.winehq.org
VST SDK (see next step)
These packages are required, you will not be able to build
the FST system without them (and their devel packages).
1) Download Steinberg's VST SDK, currently available here :
http://ygrabit.steinberg.de/~ygrabit/public_html/index.html
or possibly here instead :
http://www.steinberg.de/324+M54a708de802.html
It's been known to move about in the past. Also, you must agree
to Steinberg's non-free licensing terms - that's how it is, sorry.
Note that you'll select the SDK version after reading the Steinberg
license. Download version 2.3.
2) Unzip the SDK package into the FST directory.
3) Type 'make'. If everything works correctly this should create an
executable file named fst and a shared library named fst.exe.so.
4) To run your VST plugins :
Start your JACK server.
Start LASH (lashd).
Enter the FST directory and run this command :
./fst /path/to/someplugin.dll
If your plugin zombifies at start-up try running it with the -r option :
./fst -r /path/to/someplugin.dll
Set up the JACK audio/MIDI inputs and outputs (with QJackCtl,
jack_connect, Patchage, etc).
5) Optional: To build Ardour 0.99.x with FST support :
Copy the SC* files from the Ardour directory into your Ardour build
path, then compile Ardour with these options :
scons VST=1 VSTPATH=/path/to/compiled/fst
Further notes
------------
According to the original README this software "... interprets transport info
correctly". [JACK transport or ... ?]
Lars Luthman advises that you can set JACK_START_SERVER and LASH_START_SERVER in
your environment to eliminate the need to manually start JACK and LASH before
running the fst program (or any other JACK/LASH application).
Ismael Valladolid Torres notes that the fst.exe.so shared object library must be in
the same dir as fst. FST currently does not include a 'make install' step, so you
must either run the fst binary from the fst-x.x directory or copy the binary and the
fst.exe.so library to a common place in your PATH, e.g. /usr/local/bin/.
If your plugin zombifies at start-up try running it with the -r option :
./fst -r /path/to/someplugin.dll
Torben Hohn has written that there appears to be a bug in WINE that prevents
simultaneous startup of fst instances when a LASH project is restored. The problem
can be avoided by having a persistent wineserver running, so just start 'wineserver
-p'
before reloading a LASH project.
[Any other flags or switches ?]

Autostarting should really be made the default behaviour.

Dave,
Of late, I have been unable to find the VST SDK on their website.
Didn't Yamaha take over Steinberg? I clicked on that link, and it

Sorry for being so insistent, but the correct link's (right now the
one you include) been referred from [1]here since years:
1. http://ygrabit.steinberg.de/~ygrabit/public_html/index.html
So IMHO this is the link which should be included in any docs.
I wonder how long it'll stay there.
No matter how long as far as *my link* is the one referred. :)

Watch out, as fst.exe.so needs to be in the same dir as fst (at least
for 1.7 series). I'd suggest copying both to /usr/local/bin.
I'd be glad to translate the finished README to spanish if you wanted
to include it in the source distro.

Thanks a lot Dave. Much apreciated.
but changing the fst-1.8.tar silently is not nice, because md5 would
change. I could roll a 1.8.1 in the meantime...
we should at least put the README onto the webserver...
