Hi Yesterday I stumbled upon http://www.anticore.org/jucetice/?page_id=8. I was surprised to find zynaddsubfx there, but unfortunately it doesn't work. The problem is that the plugin doesn't get it's UI drawn, instead there appears a window about the right size but it gets filled with some of the hosts UI. There are at least one other plugin from that page that behaves like this. What could be the cause for this? I can think of several possibilities: 1) Problems with the host's (energyXT2) graphical rendering. 2) In compatibility between the plugin and some graphical lib on my machine. I tried to compile the plugin but it failed. I then downloaded the vst_sdk(version 2.3, 2.4 and 3) from steinberg and made the compilation run a bit further by copying the missing files. Now it stops at: make[2]: Entering directory `/home/atte/eXT2/plugins/instruments/new/zynaddsubfx/src/Output' make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../../vstsdk2/source/common/AEffEditor.hpp', needed by `VSTaudiooutput.o'. Stop. make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/atte/eXT2/plugins/instruments/new/zynaddsubfx/src/Output' make[1]: *** [Output] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/atte/eXT2/plugins/instruments/new/zynaddsubfx/src' make: *** [all] Error 2 The file AEffEditor.hpp is nowhere to be found inside the sdk's I downloaded, I suspect it's because it's from an older version, in any case how do I proceed with compiling zynaddsubfx as a vst plugin? 3) Problems related to compiz/accel/X on my machine. I've seen this before: some program doesn't like to be run under compiz and have flakey redrawing. How can I run a non accelerated xorg (to see if this fixes the problem)? I mean simply selecting "None" under preferences->appearence->visual effects (gnome) wouldn't really disable accelerated rendering, would it? And with the new ubuntu (and this new laptop) I don't see any mention of acceleration in xorg.conf Any input including similar experiences and suggestions are appreciated! -- Atte http://atte.dk http://modlys.dk _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
