savihostbash - a shellscriptwrapper to easily run windows vsts in linux without the usual dependancies like vstserver,dssi-vsthost etc..this only requires wine + savihost.exe. It enables you to easily run your plugins from the commandline, or integrate it into your desktop using icons/menu/filebrowser.

savihost

#!/bin/bash 
trim(){
  cat - | sed -e 's/^ *//g' -e 's/ *$//g' -e "s/'//g"
}

file="$(echo "$1" | trim)"
set -- "$file" # strip single quotes (PCFMAN)
path="$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$1")" )"
exepath=~/bin # /tmp

checkexe(){
  if [[ ! -f ~/bin/savihost.exe ]]; then 
    echo "[x] downloading savihost @ http://www.hermannseib.com/english/savihost.htm"
    wget "http://www.hermannseib.com/programs/savihostx86.zip" -O /tmp/savihostx86.zip
    cd /tmp; unzip savihostx86.zip
    cp savihost.exe "$exepath"
  fi   
}

copy(){
  [[ ! -f "$1" ]] && ( echo "$1 is not a valid vstfile" && exit 1);
  file="$(readlink -f "$1")"
  savihostexe="$( echo "$file" | sed "s/dll/exe/g" )"
  ln -fs "$exepath/savihost.exe" "$savihostexe"
}

run(){
  cd "$path"
  savihostexe="$( basename "$( echo "$1" | sed "s/dll/exe/g")" )"
  out="$( wine "$savihostexe" 2>&1 )"
  rm "$savihostexe" 
}

[[ ! -n "$1" ]] && echo "Usage: savihost <yourplugin.dll>" && exit 1 
checkexe && copy "$1" && run "$1"

Please forgive the question, but what do I need to type on the command line to run a VST through SAVIHost using this script? For instance, I want to use Dexed through SAVIHost.
