In theory, all that is required (for Guile, anyway, which can run Common Music) is to add another SWIG target for Guile to CsoundVST (in addition to the existing Python and Java targets). The C++ Csound API implemented in CsoundVST will then be callable in Scheme.

I was planning on doing this myself -- when I get the time. Actually, I was planning on moving the C++ API for Csound into the Csound shared library and cutting it loose from FLTK or boost.

Regards,
Mike

yes, making it cross-platform might really be a problem.
Rick
Taube presented a paper last ICMC about using FFIs to
integrate
GTK to provide a graphical interface for CM. He seemed to
have
a system that could easily be used to do the same with the
csound lib through the API. I mentioned that to him and he
seemed
very interested, as he was not aware of csound 5 (as many
people
are not).
