I am feeling stupid right about now.. I had dssi-vst working fine the other day.. rebuilt my system to have mirrored harddrives and some other general stuff and am having problems compliing this time. I am running gentoo and used the gentoo ebuild for dssi and liblo which is different that the previous time. It seems to have something to do with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but dont really know what that is. Thanks for any help! Matt When i do a configure and make here is my output: Make First: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~/Music/dssi-vst-0.3.1 $ make sed -e 's,@bindir\@,/usr/local/bin,g' -e 's,@winelibdir\@,.,g' ./apploader.in >apploader || rm -f apploader LD_LIBRARY_PATH=":$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" /usr/bin/winebuild -o dssi-vst-server.exe.dbg.c --debug -C. dssi-vst-server.cpp gcc -c -I. -I/home/matt/Music/vstsdk2.3/source/common -I/usr/include/wine/windows -g -O2 -fPIC -D_REENTRANT -o dssi-vst-server.exe.dbg.o dssi-vst-server.exe.dbg.c g++ -c -I. -I/home/matt/Music/vstsdk2.3/source/common -I/usr/include/wine/windows -g -O2 -fpermissive -fno-for-scope -D_REENTRANT -o dssi-vst-server.o dssi-vst-server.cpp LD_LIBRARY_PATH=":$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" /usr/bin/winebuild -fPIC -o dssi-vst-server.exe.spec.c --exe dssi-vst-server.exe -mgui dssi-vst-server.o -L/usr/lib/wine -L/usr/lib/wine -ladvapi32 -lcomdlg32 -lgdi32 -lkernel32 -lodbc32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -lshell32 -luser32 -lwinspool winebuild: executable must be named via the -F option make: *** [dssi-vst-server.exe.spec.c] Error 1 Configure: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~/Music/dssi-vst-0.3.1 $ ./configure checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed checking for g++... g++ checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes checking whether g++ accepts -g... yes checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking whether ln -s works... yes checking for sqrt in -lm... yes checking for iswalnum in -lw... no checking for gethostbyname... yes checking for connect... yes checking for gcc strength-reduce bug... no checking whether we can build a Linux dll... yes checking whether we need to define __i386__... checking for egrep... grep -E no checking whether we need to define __sparc__... no checking whether we need to define __sun__... no checking for g++ -fpermissive option... yes checking for g++ -fno-for-scope option... yes checking for windef.h header... /usr/include/wine/windows checking for -lwine... checking for wine_cp_wcstombs in -lwine_unicode... yes checking for libntdll.def... /usr/lib/wine checking for wine... /usr/bin/wine checking for winebuild... /usr/bin/winebuild checking for wrc... /usr/bin/wrc configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Make.rules config.status: creating Makefile Configure finished.
