[aubio-user] libaubio.lib

[Paul Brossier]

Hi Clemens,

sorry for the late reply.

you need to use mingw instead of cygwin to get a static library that
doesn't need cygwin1.dll.

remember however that aubio is GPL, so including it in your VST would
mean you license your plugin under the GPL (which is a bit awkward).

Best, Paul
