Sorry I am a bit lost in this whole running C++ plugins within a C host.
Can someone please post a quick summary of the situation here:
-What are the correct steps that a C host must take in order to be able to run
C++ plugins.
-(exact linking options or runtime loading of C++ libs etc)
- eventual special programming guidelines
This should REALLY go into the official LADSPA documentation, so that
we might save some trouble later, because suddenly we will have
10 LADSPA C-host developer complaining that the kickass-foobar C++
plugin doesn't run on their hosts.
Benno.
