Hi,

VSTPlugin itself can only open plugins compiled for the same platform.
Since you've mentioned Wine, I assume you're trying to run Windows DLLs?
If yes, you can use LinVst (https://github.com/osxmidi/LinVst) which
allows to run Windows VST plugins in a Linux host.

Actually, VSTPlugin already supports bit bridging (= running a 32-bit
plugin in a 64-bit host and vice versa). This is done by running the
plugins in a dedicated process which communicates with the host via a
shared memory interface. I guess the same technique could be used to run
Windows VST plugins on Linux Pd/Supercollider. I'll put this on my list.
