hi

i've got most everything else in place, and now i'm trying to get vst
access on my ccrma box. i've read back over this thread, and have
managed to get fst 1.6 installed ok by following these instructions

and then i've replaced jfst.c with mark's patch (i'm using wine
20040914, so maybe i shouldn't be using that patch, but i get the same
problem without it), and then make clean, make, make install, but this
is what i get:

should i perhaps just delete that whole function?

also, if i happen to get this working, where do i put my vst plugins? is it in the /usr/local/ directory or something?
am i able to set the plugins directory to be in my wine windows drive?

i'm using fedora core 2 ccrma (with 2.6.8 R9 kernel) ...


hope you can help :)
