I noticed that CLAM stopped being supported by PlanetCCRMA around F8 timeframe.
It looks like a lot of new and cool stuff is available. Any interest in getting this added?
CLAM 1.4.0, 3D molluscs in the space
The CLAM project is delighted to announce the long awaited 1.4.0 release of CLAM, the C++ framework for audio and music, code name 3D molluscs in the space.
In summary, this long term release includes a lot of new spacialization modules for 3D audio; MIDI, OSC and guitar effectsmodules; architectural enhancements such as typed controls; nice usability features for the NetworkEditor interface; convenience tools and scripts to make CLAM experience better; enhanced building of LADSPA plugins and new support for LV2 and VST plugin building; a new easy to use application to explore songs chords called Chordata; many optimizations, bug fixing and code clean ups.

... CLAM allows to visually build JACK and PortAudio based applications with Qt interfaces as well as GUI-less VST and LADSPA plugins. The more flashy feature of VST is user interfaces that are mostly built using VSTGUI. We are using Qt as interface for JACK and Portaudio based apps because we are using the nice features of Qt toolkit to dynamically bind the UI elements and the underlaying processing. Moreover, Qt styling features enables shinning designer-made interfaces. Why not being able to reuse the same interface for VST and JACK? That has been a long standing TODO in CLAM so now is time to address it.
In summary, we fully solved croscompiling vst's from linux and we even started using qt interfaces as vst gui. In that last point, there still is a lot of work to do, but the basic question on whether you can use qt to edit a vst plugin is now out of any doubt.
To make the spike simpler, and in order not to collide with other CLAM developers, currently working on it, i just left apart all the CLAM wrapping part, just addressing vst crosscompiling and Qt with the sdk examples.
Cross compilation was pretty easy. This time I found lot more documentation on mingw and even scons. Just by adding the crossmingw scons tool we are already using for the apps and i managed to get Linux cross-compiled plugins running on Wine.
