Error while compiling

[benmunkres]

When I try to compile this on linux mint 18.2 I get the error:

wineg++ -m32 dssi-vst-scanner.cpp -O2 -ffast-math -fvisibility=hidden -fPIC -mtune=generic -msse -Wall -Ivestige  -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/alsa -O0 -c -o dssi-vst-scanner.wine.o
dssi-vst-scanner.cpp:25:21: fatal error: windows.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
winegcc: g++ failed
Makefile:78: recipe for target 'dssi-vst-scanner.wine.o' failed
make: *** [dssi-vst-scanner.wine.o] Error 2

Any ideas about what might be causing this?
Thanks

even if you get this building, dssi-vst does not work on newer systems right now.
consider using something else.

Thanks
What are some alternatives that you would suggest?

I did not see your edit.
Carla is the application I wrote that can also load windows plugins.
If you run the provided pre-compiled binaries, the windows vst support is included already.
You can just drag&drop dlls on top of the rack view.
