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. Add them there:
customCPPPATH.append(r'D:\utah\home\mkg\projects\csoundd\frontends\CsoundVST\vstsdk2.4')

This seems to be required for building vst4cs.

Obviously I have no trouble building all these things. Perhaps you are only 
trying to build some? Or perhaps you have an old VST SDK in your include 
path?

If you are still having problems let me know, in detail, what happened and I 
will look at it ASAP.

Hope this helps,
Mike
