#12 Build fails on Debian Sarge

[Steve Merrony]

GENPO does not compile under Debian Sarge which is unexpected. The error message is as follows:

Error - There was some error compiling or linking GENPO
Look at the output above for an explanation

Looks like a failure to find the ALSA libraries.

I'm closing this one as Sarge is really quite old now.

Root cause is that newer versions of GENPO make use of functionality introduced in ALSA a couple of years ago which significantly improved detection of (soft) synths.
