so, someone was telling me about an alleged issue, as follows:

"with a GUI that depends in GUI libraries as Qt, GTK or JUCE, there's no garanties I'll have these libraries so it may be impossible for PD to open such libraries (...) QTractor, for instance, runs well plugins based in Qt but is terrible with plugins whose GUI is based in GTK."

anyway, according to this, it'd be impossible, but I dont think so, although i have no idea what hes talking about, how about you people?

cheers

the situation is as follows:

linux vst is native on linux of course, but that does not mean that windows or osx vst’s will run on linux. you have to compile them for linux.
there are some commercial plugins popping up for linux, and they are often linuxvst.
opensource plugins are still mostly lv2 or still ladspa.

i think the point would be to have native linux vst support, right? (not saying that you should do that)

well, this is why i was asking, i need more info as I'm not a linux user. How "native" is vst for linux? Seems like it is "full native" to me... mostly because of this link http://linux-sound.org/linux-vst-plugins.html

and how it says compiled for native Linux. No WINE required
