Thanks for the answer, Michael. I have the vstsdk in the same (corresponding) location as you. For example, my audioeffectx.h is in: C:\msys\1.0\source\csound5\frontends\CsoundVST\vstsdk2.4\public.sdk\source\vst2.x\audioeffectx.h Now, I went over my custom.py and discovered I had not set customLIBPATH for the FLTK libs (only customCPPPATH). There might have been a version conflict with fltk as I had a libfltk.a lying around in my local/lib Updating the customLIBPATH let me compile csound with FLTK without commenting out lines in widglobals.h Now I can also compile vst4cs, probably also related to the cleaning up of libraries (?) I can also compile csoundVST (without csoundAC). But, csoundAC still remains. I get several pages of undefined reference to xx, I edited the console print below to only include the first and last of those. It seems it could still have something to do with fltk ? g++ -Wl,--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc --subsystem:windows -shared -Wl,--add-stdcall-alias -o CsoundAC.dll frontends\CsoundAC\Cell.o frontends\CsoundAC\Composition.o frontends\CsoundAC\Conversions.o frontends\CsoundAC\Counterpoint.o frontends\CsoundAC\CounterpointNode.o frontends\CsoundAC\Event.o frontends\CsoundAC\Hocket.o frontends\CsoundAC\ImageToScore.o frontends\CsoundAC\Lindenmayer.o frontends\CsoundAC\MCRM.o frontends\CsoundAC\Midifile.o frontends\CsoundAC\MusicModel.o frontends\CsoundAC\Node.o frontends\CsoundAC\Random.o frontends\CsoundAC\Rescale.o frontends\CsoundAC\Score.o frontends\CsoundAC\ScoreNode.o frontends\CsoundAC\Sequence.o frontends\CsoundAC\Shell.o frontends\CsoundAC\Soundfile.o frontends\CsoundAC\StrangeAttractor.o frontends\CsoundAC\System.o frontends\CsoundAC\Voicelead.o frontends\CsoundAC\VoiceleadingNode.o -L. -L. -L\usr\local\lib -L. -L. -LC:\msys\1.0\source\libsndfile_pre -LC:\msys\1.0\source\fltk-1.1.x-r5567\lib -LC:\Python24\Libs -lpython24 -lcsnd -lpython24 -lstdc++ -lsupc++ -lkernel32 -lgdi32 -lwsock32 -lws2_32 -lole32 -luuid -lwinmm -lkernel32 -lgdi32 -lwsock32 -lws2_32 -lole32 -luuid -lwinmm -lcsound32 -lsndfile -lfltk -lfltk_images -lfltk_png -lfltk_jpeg -lfltk_z -Wl,--out-implib,libCsoundAC.a -Wl,--output-def,CsoundAC.def Creating library file: libCsoundAC.a C:\msys\1.0\source\fltk-1.1.x-r5567\lib/libfltk.a(Fl_Pixmap.o)(.text+0x12a):Fl_Pixmap.cxx: undefined reference to `CreateCompatibleBitmap@12' <...snip...> C:\msys\1.0\source\fltk-1.1.x-r5567\lib/libfltk.a(fl_line_style.o)(.text+0xe8):fl_line_style.cxx: undefined reference to `DeleteObject@4' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status scons: building terminated because of errors. scons: *** [CsoundAC.dll] Error 1 2007/10/24, Michael Gogins : > OK, I have the following directory structure, which results from copying the > entire VST SDK without alteration or omission into the frontends/CsoundVST > directory: > > frontends\CsoundVST\vstsdk2.4\public.sdk\source\vst2.x\audioeffectx.h > , > and everything else from the VST SDK in corresponding places. > > That is exactly where vsthost.h is hard-coded to find it: > > #include > "../../../frontends/CsoundVST/vstsdk2.4/public.sdk/source/vst2.x/audioeffectx.h" > > Perhaps we should change the source code not to use a complete path, but > just part of the path, e.g. > > #include "public.sdk/source/vst2.x/audioeffectx.h" > > That is the pattern used by the VST SDK samples. > > Also, in my custom.py I have: > > ################################################################ > # If you want to build vst4cs or CsoundVST you need the include > # path to the VST SDK header files.
