[PD] compiling vst

[Michael Iber]

Hello Thomas,

I am facing some problems compiling your vst-external:
you write in the readme.txt to edit the vst.dsp-file: no matter what I edit 
(pathnames, flags ..) opening the file with MSVC6 states, that the file was 
not gererated by MSVC.
I managed after some editing in the makefile.msvc to compile a vst~.dll 
getting the following output:

I can load vst~.dll, but it apparently doesn't do anything besides routing 
audio through on right channel only.
Do you have any suggestions what cold be wrong?
Why don't you include your *.dsw-file to the cvs? Wouldn't that help?
I actually had problems with some of your makefiles of other externals (on 
windows) too, but somehow managed to get them running.
Greetings,
Michael
