[LAU] Anyone got OpenMusic 5.2.1 to work? Or at least MidiShare?

Alas, OM's Linux development is pretty slow, if not actually dead at 
this time. Karim Haddad is the man to contact, I've cc'd this message to 
him.

Yes, IIRC there are some packages prepared by Dr Albert Graef that will 
build against some 2.6 kernels. Also cc'd.

No, but the last time it worked for me I noted that Karim had done some 
good work on usability. Alas, IRCAM is rather devoted to commercial 
software. I understand that OM development is now primarily on the Mac 
and uses a proprietary toolkit (LispWorks, I think).

I suggest that you try to reach Dr Graf, Karim Haddad, and maybe Yann 
Orlarey at GRAME (also cc'd).

Good luck, and do let us know how you get along with this project.

Btw, AlgoScore is definitely worth your attention, but it isn't much 
like Open Music. Also, I wrote to the author of pwgl and inquired about 
a Linux port. He never replied.

Best,
