Code::Blocks / Compile Errors ... help?

[hudsonm4000]

Hi, I have been been dabbling for a couple of months with with some plugin making on Windows and have now started on Linux (Ubuntu 11.10), but when I try to compile the same code I get errors that I don't know how to fix!

For example, I am trying to get to get the again VST plugin demo from the Steinberg SDK to compile using Code::Blocks. I have successfully done this on a Windows PC, but on Linux it isn't working. I have done everything the same (except directories and linker paths are different), but I am getting errors:

For example, the aeffect.h header file contains this line of code:

126.  typedef VstIntPtr (VSTCALLBACK *AEffectDispatcherProc) (AEffect* effect, VstInt32 opcode, VstInt32 index, VstIntPtr value, void* ptr, float opt);

which is generating this error:

/home/mark/SoftDev/SDK/vstsdk2.4/pluginterfaces/vst2.x/aeffect.h|126|error: expected ‘)’ before ‘*’ token|

Why is the compiler expecting  ‘)’ before ‘*’ ??  It's fine on Win7  and I am using GNU GCC as the compiler for both platforms.

None of the code is mine, it's all just the SDK demo code that I am using as a means of testing a setup for working on Linux. But as it worked on Win7 I need some guidance on what I am missing & what is going wrong here.

Many thanks
Mark

I had some build issues on linux with VST2.4 - it was to do with the way VSTCALLBACK is defined for different compilers / OS etc - see the #ifdefs at the start of the file. If VSTCALLBACK is incorrectly defined for your gcc that will most likely cause the error (or something like it)

Hi linuxdsp.... and many thanks for replying

So although I'm using GNU GCC for both platforms, it may work slightly differently on linux compared to windows?

I will take a look at the VSTCALLBACK definition.
