Hi Robert,
Thank you for your comments, hints and information.
1. I checked the Ubuntu packages: There is no MDA VST package in Ubuntu
Studio. Only for LV2.
2. Regarding the content of the aeffect.h.
I have the same content regarding the "#elif defined(__GNUC__)" block. It
looks like this:
#elif defined(__GNUC__)
#pragma pack(push,8)
#if defined(__linux__)
#define VSTCALLBACK
#else
#define VSTCALLBACK __cdecl
#endif
I corrected this section, so that it now looks like this, because of a
readme.txt file in the mda-vst directory (located somewhere in this
directory).
As advised by you, I copied the directory steinberg_vst_vdk_3.65/VST3\
SDK/public.sdk to the folder mda_vst_plugins/mda-vst/vst, result:
Compiling fails. I noticed that there is no aeffect.h file in
mda_vst_plugins/mda-vst/vst/public.sdk/source/vst2.x
The file aeffect.h is part of the folder steinberg_vst_vdk_3.65/VST3\
SDK/pluginterfaces. The file aeffect.h is also part of the folder
mda_vst_plugins/mda-vst/vst/pluginterfaces/vst2.x - so it makes no sense
to copy the pluginterfaces folder from the "VST3 SDK" folder to
mda_vst_plugins/mda-vst/vst. Because it is already there.
4. About KXStudio: This webpage tells which plugins KXStudio contains:
http://kxstudio.linuxaudio.org/Repositories:Plugins
The list there tells me that this distribution offers MDA plugins, but
only in the LV2 format.
Regards,
Jens
