Is it possible to write plugins (vst or dx) for Windows with only GNU C/C++ and the appropriate SDK, or can it only be done with Visual C++?
Any examples that do that...?

Cheers,
Philip

check out the vst archive entry on using dvcpp.

it's definitely possible. i don't think it's quite as convenient as having the MSVC debugger, mind you..

yep gcc works great, i build all my plugins in mingw...only thing that has a few probs in gcc is ASIO if you plan on making an app that uses that...theres a 'iasiothiscallresolver.h' floating aroudn tho, from the portaudio project...which will work..

http://www.mingw.org &
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/

for stuff u need, if it wasnt for mingw (well, and foobar2000, slimbrowser, geoshell, samplitude...) i'd have switched to linux...

Plugin development with gnu c/c++?
