Hi, I'm Rui :)

As you might know, Qsampler is the intended GUI for linuxsampler and it's
evolving, slowly. It already starts and connects to a linuxsampler server,
although very crudely. It's still in alpha stage, but it's already
something you can sneak preview. Nothing is better than the-real-thing,
better than any screenshot ;)

OK. I'll just put it here the very same clues I've posted a week or so ago:

Qsampler's project is hosted on sourceforge.net
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/qsampler) and it's preliminar CVS
repository can be checked out through anonymous (pserver) CVS with the
following instructions:

  cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/qsampler login

when prompted for a password, you'll know what to do: just hit enter.

First, you'll need to install the liblscp package. This is for
LinuxSampler Control Protocol support library, which qsampler is based:

  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/qsampler co
liblscp
  cd liblscp
  make -f Makefile.cvs
  ./configure
  make
  make install
  cd ..

This will install liblscp.so under /usr/local/lib, so be sure to have it
registered on your shared library path (either on LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable or on /etc/ld.so.conf). Maybe it's already up there.

Then, you'll may try with qsampler itself.

  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/qsampler co
qsampler
  cd qsampler
  make -f Makefile.cvs
  ./configure
  make

then run ./qsampler and you'll see what I'm cookin' :)

These instructions are for linux of course. But win32 support is also in
the box. If someone want to try

Hope you enjoy,
