While attemmpting to build Csound5 with CsoundVST, I keep getting
errors while the Loris code is being compiled.  I've tried several
different routes with this: just copying the loris source tree into
Opcodes/Loris and also replacing the src/lorisgens.C and
src/lorisgens.h files with the lorisgens5.x files in the Loris csound/
directory - and renaming them to remove the 5, as well as trying the
same with the lorisgens5 files included with Csound5.  I also tried
replacing the lorisgen5.C files included with the ones from Csound5
and vice-versa, etc.  

Can someone kindly clarify what needs to be done to get a working
src/lorisgens.c file?

An example of the errors:

Opcodes/Loris/src/lorisgens.C:48:36: warning: "/*" within comment

The only other problem is getting this to find tcl.h.  I have a link
from /usr/include/tcl.h to /usr/include/tcl8.3/tcl.h, but it still
isn't being found.

The biggest surprise in attempting to get CsoundVST built was the enormous
amount of disk space consumed while building boost; wow! 

Lastly, what sort of problems result if Python 2.3 rather than 2.4 is
used?  I'm going by a remark in the installation notes for cabel about
a problem with processes and csound when using Python 2.3.

Other than that, I can build Csound5, and it seems to work.  :-)
Thanks for all of the work that so many of you have put into Csound!
