was/is (win)vst excluded from Ardour 3?

[Capoeira]

configure option (--vst) of svn package is unknown

[StudioDave]

it's now --windows-vst

./waf configure --help is the way.

thanks.

it was "./waf --help" before wasn't it? thats why I didn't find it out, it always gave me an error.

has anybody tried it lately?
I got it build but:

Code: Select all

[studio@myhost ~]$ ardour-3.0-vst 
wine: cannot find '/usr/bin/ardour-3.0-vst.so'

Hi, all of the ardour 3 installs I have tried wind up in /opt.
If yours is there, maybe you could link it to the location wine is looking for?

Capoeira: I had the same experience as you (missing /usr/bin/ardour-3.0-vst.so) I had the impression that to build for windows VST you must supply either Steinberg or Vestige headers which I did not do so maybe that was the problem.

slowpick: I suspect you are speaking of the Ardour3 tarballs about /opt being the location of ardour3. When you build from source then Ardour3 will be in your build directory or wherever you install it to with "./waf install".

I have steinberg vst sdk installed. That's not the problem.
I'll give it up for now.
Using Ardour3 with festige does work, too. (though it more work)

Works for me now. I installed it and played with ./ardev then it started working. You may also need to add that path to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig (provided you have the binary there).

Hi,

It's not working with Wine properly if you launch it with ardev, my guess is since they are now sharing some code between LinuxVST and Windows VST that you have some sort of 'fortunate' bug happening there for now. In order for Ardour to use Wine as intended it has to be launched with ardevst. It may be working right now but I'd be quite surprised if you chatted with the developers on Ardour IRC that this is an intended behavior.

[StoneCut]

Well, myat first ./ardev didn't work but my installed version also wouldn't work. After installing, however, the ./ardev version started to work, too - and it would load VST. After that the installed version worked, too.

I'm pretty sure this is not intentional - I also had to manually copy some files and whatnot. In the end I don't fully know what made my installed version work but I did write a protocol if anyone wants it. Anyway, what matters (to me) is: It works now. Just not as good as I had hoped

[varpa]

Dumb question - to compile with do you need to supply the Steinberg or Vestige headers and if so where do you put them? Or maybe it is Vestige headers are used automatically?

What malfunctions?

Hi Capoeira,

I've had the same experience for more than 3 months, I've tried several different Wine versions, at least a dozen A3 SVN checkouts and no dice. I suggest you ask on #ardour irc that way at least they will know that there is user interest in this. I've mentioned it there a few times but it is very time consuming to debug. I think if they get enough inquiries about Ardour 3 with WinVST support then they might be a little more willing to help.

What is frustrating is that my ArdourVST builds (Ardour2) all run as expected...?

[slowpick]

The windows version of ardour will likely get more work done on it,
than built-in vst support for the linux version. It only makes sense
to play to their strengths. Enough vsts work in linux without placing
more work requests to the ardour coders.
