Well, at least with OSX, there are Audio Units development kits available for free with their developers package (also free).
I vaguely remember reading somewhere that Steinberg is cagey about VST API stuff, but am not sure.
Something like this would really cause me to use Pd a whole lot more.
Features that would be great are: -cross platform -ability to encapsulate a plug-in that has all libraries and abstractions included in a single file. -edit-ability in this encapsulated form
I doubt that these things will be easy (if even possible to accomplish).
Oh, and on the subject, maybe we could think about enlisting some 'summer help' on tcl/tk interface improvements as well?

Hallo!
Well, I guess updating PdVST is a little bit too small ...
not if done correctly, it should be portable, support multiple plugin formats (ladsa, dx, vst), etc. would be a really good summer project.
you are right ... but aren't there already hosts for all the plugins ?
other way around, the project isnt to host plugins in pd, its to host pd patches as a plugins in other vst hosts (live, flstudio, whatever)... check out PdVST if you have a windows box... it works pretty well, but is based of a really outdated pd:

i am unable... i removed "PdVST" from the short list, "Pluggo4PD" is probably a better descriptor, but now there is no little ? to click on.
strange ;) ... I changed it to PluggoPD, now it's possible again ... it seems that for the wiki there should be no numbers in the names ...
ahh, that makes some sense, thanks. i'll try to find some time soon to writeup a description. if anyone wants to pipe in with wanted features or maybe clues on how to implement this it would be helpful.
