getting started with Iplug and VST

[Guod3]

What version of VST_SDK 2.X compiles without error using what IDE?
Ive just attempted to build IplugExample with VST 2.3 with Visual C++ 2010 Express. There are numerous errors that suggest something amiss with the VST headers.

Ive logged on the to developer section following the links from VST SDK 2.3/2.4 There is no download link whatsoever. It seems that something is broken at the Steiny site. I found the VST headers from a very old project which was 2.3 Is 2.4 required?

yep, you need 2.4

i have a vs2010 projects in my git repository http://www.olilarkin.co.uk/dev/WDL.git

be aware though that my iplug is slightly modded.

i think they should compile straight off if you put the correct VST 2.4 files in the VST_SDK folder

Thanks very much for confirming VST2.4 as well as the ability to use vs2010 Ok.

Now to get those headers...

The developer portal has only links to infomercial blurbs on "our technologies" and "plugin zone". No promised links to SDK downloads. I have logged in to my developer account and tried with various browzers in case I'm not seeing a popup window or something.

This is frustrating...

Ok all good now!.
I managed to find the VST2.4 headers on an old hard drive.

The only error I got from VS2010 was a linker error:
In IplugExample project properties Linker/General/Output File Needed to change $(OutDir)$(ProjectName)_DEBUG.dll to
$(OutDir)$(ProjectName).dll

All good!
