[Lmuse-user] good news about VST

[Robert J. <rj...@sp...>]

Hi all,

It looks like the VST problems with newer Wine versions is a known issue with 
either Wine or fst, Mark Knecht finally set me straight.
There's info about it here:
http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-users/2004/10/0451.html

I've tried adding this to vst.cpp and it seems to work perfectly. 
Programmatically it isn't very nice, but it works so who cares :-).

For the brave ones you can past it in like this:
line:306
void jfst_reserve_mem (int bufsize)
{
        char buf [bufsize];
        int i;

        fprintf (stderr, "Reserving memory: base=%p, size=%d, end=%p\n",
                buf, sizeof(buf), buf+sizeof(buf));
        for (i=0; i<bufsize; i++)
        {
                buf[i] = (char) (i % 256);
        }
}

//---------------------------------------------------------
//   initVST
//---------------------------------------------------------

void initVST()
      {
      jfst_reserve_mem(1000000);
      if (fst_init(fstSignalHandler)) {


Notice that from the //-------------------- and on the only change is the 
added jfst_... line.

The diff version:

Please let us know if it works out, in which case we'll add it to the next 
release.
