<p>Hi Miller,</p>
<p>thanks a lot for reporting! Will push a fix on develop.</p>

</p>
<p>In the build system there's a CMake option "STATIC_LIBS" which
says: "link with static libraries (libstdc++, libgcc and phread)"</p>
<p>You can just set it to OFF. There's a note in the README:<br>
</p>
<p>"When<span style=" color:#c0c0c0;"> </span>compiling<span

<p>Turns out that the last sentence is wrong :-) The default is
`ON`. Will update the README.</p>

<p>Statically linking makes sharing C++ externals easier. I've had
people missing the correct stdlibc++ version on their Linux
system, so the external would fail to load. So for uploading to
Deken, statically linking is preferred. Package managers, on the
other hand, frown upon static linking and prefer to link
dynamically (which makes sense). So if vstplugin~ would be
released as a Debian package, it should be linked dynamically. I
just offer both options.</p>
<p>Then there's a very annoying bug in mingw32 where dynamic linking
libgcc and libstdc++ breaks DWARF2 exception handling if the host
application is statically linked and vice versa. Throwing an
exception immediately terminates the program...

this doesn't affect mingw64 builds.</p>

... and, it wasn't obvious to me that I needed to have static libc++
installed (I got the error "-lstdc++: not found" or some such but had
to dig for a while to see that it was the _static_ version that was missing.)
I'm not sure why it's necessary to use the static version at all, but it
might help some future user if that was mentioned as a dependency somewhere.
Meanwhile, bravo - this is a really good thing.
cheers

here's a small bugfix release for vstplugin~- an external to load VST 2 and
VST 3 plugins in Pd on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Binaries are available on Deken or can be downloaded here:
