Interesting. My aeffectx.h does not include those lines, I believe those 
are the lines that ought to be commented out. Here's what I have for the 
VstFileType structure:

//---Used by audioMasterOpenFileSelector-----------
struct VstFileType
{
        char name[128];
        char macType[8];
        char dosType[8];
        char unixType[8];
        char mimeType1[128];
        char mimeType2[128];
};


One thing you'll notiuce is that your code is missing a semicolon after 
the second curly brace, I think that's why you're getting this syntax error:

>>In file included from jfst.c:25:

You can probably fix that by adding the semicolon. If you still have a 
problem, delete the lines you've shown above and replace them with what 
I've shown (they may already be there, so make sure they're not 
commented out).

And yes, jack_fst works well on my system.

Best,
