oxe-synth compilation errors

[rwman]

Hi. I am trying to build oxe-fm-synth. I got source code from https://github.com/oxesoft/oxefmsynth
I downloaded vst 3 sdk from official steinberg website: http://www.steinberg.net/sdk_downloads/ ... ild_67.zip
(i renamed it to vstsdk2.4, but that does not matter)
When i tried to compile, I got a lot of weird errors (see below).
Can anyone please confirm this?

Just curious, why compile this ? ("because I want to" is a valid answer)

Ready made plugins (for linux too) are on the website of oxefm. http://www.oxesoft.com/oxevst134.zip

[davephillips]

Just for fun try building with this command sequence :

Code: Select all

export VSTSDK_PATH=/your/path/here
make

Build the whole enchilada, without specifying the DEBUG version. Let me know how it works.

Best,

Still the same result - tons of same errors

I am aware of these. I need to compile debug version to investigate crash in the qtractor: https://github.com/oxesoft/oxefmsynth/issues/7

Greets,

Btw, what system and compiler ?

I found the reason of all these errors. There is a bug in VST 3 SDK source. It was also found few months ago here: https://sourceforge.net/p/lmuse/mailman ... @yahoo.de/

In the VST SDK, aeffect.h header should be fixed as follows:

Code: Select all

------- VST3 SDK/pluginterfaces/vst2.x/aeffect.h   line 67:
#elif defined(__GNUC__)
    #pragma pack(push,8)
    #if defined(__linux__)
            #define VSTCALLBACK
    #else
            #define VSTCALLBACK __cdecl
    #endif
