Description

VeSTige is not present on the Mac builds. It would be great if we could use VST plugins on the Mac builds in the same way as on Linux builds, through Wine. Currently the only way to use VST plugins in LMMS on Mac is to run the whole LMMS in Wine (with some symlink trickery to get the plugin paths to resolve properly).

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the existing VeSTige/Linux implementation and the Mac build integration, then determine the supported Wine and plugin-path approach. Done means VST plugins work on Mac builds without running all of LMMS in Wine.
