welcome to the wonderful world of software installation.
if you get it working please send me the steps so no one else has to
go through what you are doing.
i dont understand why you need to set the define by hand. in my
premake.lua i have:
if vst then
add(juce_config, "JUCE_PLUGINHOST_VST=1")
add(juce_library.includepaths, vst)
end
so that the vs2008 project file that builds cm should already have
that in it.
