ok, now is working but I had to build it without VST support. Did you 
build ardour using the VST=1 flag?

I struggled a little building the libfst (needed for VST support) but 
finally I got it thanks to the help of someone at the wine IRC channel. 
Now I wonder if the fix was that successful. We found that there is a -F 
flag needed after --exe in the winebuild call. Someone at the wine IRC 
helped me to find it. After that it built with no problems. The Makefile 
inside the fst folder should read like this:

$(LDPATH) $(WINEBUILD) -fPIC -o $@ --exe -F $(fst_exe_MODULE) 
-m$(fst_exe_APPMODE) $(fst_exe_SPEC_SRCS:%=--spec %) 
$(fst_exe_RC_SRCS:%.rc=%.res) $(fst_exe_OBJS) $(fst_exe_DLL_PATH) 
$(WINE_DLL_PATH) $(GLOBAL_DLL_PATH) $(fst_exe_DLLS:%=-l%) 
$(GLOBAL_DLLS:%=-l%)

If you don't change it you get an error message from winebuild while 
building libfst asking for naming the files using -F.


thanks,
