Bugzilla Bug 61290

Installs the steinberg win32 VST/VSTi Software Development Kit into /opt

Necessary due to restrictive open-source licensing, and the need for some header files from the SDK to compile other linux audio toolkits.

Licensing restricts distribution of the SDK such that the end-user must agree to the terms of STEINBERG SOFT-UND HARDWARE GMBH agreement for VST SDK and download themselves.  This is okay really, since the more interesting applications really only need to use 2 header files from the whole SDK.

required by jack_fst

gcc will choke some of the broken code in headers, but that's fine.   consider
this ready for mainstream testing and bugfixing, possibly inclusion in gentoo
portage (pending some legal consideration)

This installs fine for me.

i'm trying to install vst-sdk-2.3 for lmms-cvs, but i can't seem to find
anywhere to download it. the Steinberg site is in german and i don't know
german
i tried to search for it in the english site i didn't find it either,
and the ftp from the 2.3 ebuild notes doesn't work.
any ideas? thanks!

@Kfir: You can find the vst-sdk here:
http://www.steinberg.de/331+M54a708de802.html

Because the old vst-sdk-2.3.ebuild doesn't work properly with current portage,
and is otherwise a bit clumsy-ish (no offense...), I made an updated ebuild.
Also see an updated media-libs/fst-1.8 ebuild (bug #61300)

media-libs/vst-sdk/vst-sdk-2.3-r1.ebuild, final version

I'm sorry I mess up with this page... Here's - hopefully - a final version of
the vst-sdk-2.3 ebuild. See also bug #137017 for the 2.4 version. 

*** Bug 137017 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Ok, put it in here, then... This is the 2.4 version of Steinberg's VST SDK. It
is slotted with vst-sdk-2.3-r1, so you can have both of them. Fst (bug #61300)
needs 2.3 version, but with dssi-vst (bug #137069) you can use either.

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The
sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to
commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry into
the overlay.
So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this and submit your
ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us.
We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. 

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Jeremy.
