Hey guys,

thanks for maintaining this great synth and the vital forum !

I tried to run the CMake-based build on windows but ran into problems (obviously there are many Linux-dependencies).

Browsing the forum posts I found several reports by people how actually succeeded in building more recent versions of ZynAddSubFX on Windows e.g. using Visual Studio or MinGW.

Could you please share the resulting binaries or instructions how you got your build working ??

I am sure quite a lot of Windows users would be very happy about an update

best regards,
chris

Are you referring to the windows VST threads?
That codebase has diverged quite a bit from the mainline (which is where the standalone is maintained).

The standalone can be mostly built on windows (ie it can be coerced into building a exe without a UI and without audio-in/midi-out), however the full build process was not completed (and I don't have a windows machine to test on anymore).

The current git head has diverged further from the version which I'm referring to, so building will be problematic.

I am interested in getting a windows build running again at some point, however I do not have the resources to do so at my disposal.

thanks for the reply.

I was referring to the standalone version - but I would need the midi input and gui options.

could you recommend an open or free VST host which works on windows to run the VST version ?

thanks
chris
