Re: [midishare-devel] midishare on 64-bit linux

[Albert G. <ag...@gm...>]

Well, using the tweaks that Anders described and a few additional
changes to the makefiles I was able to compile MidiShare on 64 bit
Ubuntu 12.04 as well, but unfortunately it doesn't work. :( The kernel
module loads all right, but msconnect and msecho just sit there
without mapping a GTK window, and msAlsaSeq simply crashes on startup.

I also noticed quite a few warnings when compiling the sources which
point to 64 bit issues, so I'd say that the code needs a thorough
review before it is 64 bit ready.

What a pity. I was really looking forward to give MidiShare another
whirl, but I don't think I'll have the time to dive into the code.
