I would say that this is a great software to add to the Solus repository. The new update to LMMS 1.2.0 that I did doesn’t really handle windows VSTs with wine very good so a wrapper like this would be useful. The VST implementation isn’t that good in LMMS and that was partly why I packaged Carla for loading LV2 and VST plug-ins in to LMMS.

This would allow users to use the windows VSTs inside Carla for LMMS and for use in Ardour and similar apps ?

I have contacted the developer and he was kind enough to stop deleting tags. There’s currently two releases in the releases page and I will make sure to package this when I get back to my packaging computer :)

Cheers.

@Jacalz any updates on this?

Yes, I have started looking in to packaging this recently. It took some time because I was investigating the possibility of building wine support in Carla, but that turned out to be more way more complicated than this. This will need more testing and it's not really ready yet...

No rush, just touching base.

This has moved down in my priority list because I had a deeper dive in to this and had a little conversation with the Carla developer (also main maintainer for jack1 and jack2). It turns out that Carla features a windows bridge that needs MinGW64 to build but he said that it is much better than fully relying on wine like this software. The whole way this software works also seems to be a bit annoying, but I haven’t tested using it apart from looking at the manual.

I am waiting to get the MinGW patches landed that are circulating here in phabicator. If I can get the windows bridges to build, I think I will use that instead since it apparently is a much better solution. If it doesn’t work I fill probably include this instead.

@Jacalz bump.

Oh right, we have the Mingw64 stuff in the repository now. Will give a shot at getting it wired into Carla before looking into this more.

@Jacalz bump again

Sorry. Haven't had any time at all to look at this.
