What does that mean, a VST compiled for Linux ? Will it work without
a Windoze emulator ?
Sure, many vst plugins either don't have a gui, or are based on toolsets
that are available for linux as well, such as juce, vstgui and fltk.
(I've been reading the vst development list for some years)
vstgui is not really available for linux at this time. theoretically
there is a motif backend, but it seems that hardly anyone uses it or
even attempts to make sure that it works with the latest changes to
vstgui.
Yeah, you are right. Didn't think enough before posting.
i think that the number of vst plugins using JUCE or FLTK can be counted
on the fingers of one person's hands.
Maybe, but you also have qt, fox, wxwindows and others that might be used.
Anyhow, at least theres a bunch of gui-less vst plugins, so you need many
hands to count all of the plugins that doesn't require more than a
new makefile and a few #ifdefs here and there to recompile for linux.
