I was especially excited to try this out due to it's excellent use of
guile as an extension language and it's support for chording, MIDI,
and Jack... very interesting and cool project. What are the advantages
of Denemo over http://frescobaldi.org/ ?

There were a few wrinkles to build this on fedora and I wasn't able to
get it to compile completely. But I was able to run and test it and
get a feel for what it does. Very nice!

Here's the issues I had compiling on Fedora:

(1) After successfully doing "./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-jack"
make dies with
>/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lltdl
> collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
> make[2]: *** [smfsh] Error 1
> make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/npm/denemo-git/libsmf'

After installing libtool-ltdl-devel-2.2.6-18.fc12.1.x86_64 I was able
to compile further.
FYI, to get denemo compiling on fedora, I had to install the following
additional -devel packages:
sudo yum install guile-devel
 --> guile-devel-1.8.7-3.fc12.x86_64
sudo yum install aubio-devel
 --> aubio-devel-0.3.2-7.fc12.x86_64
sudo yum install portaudio-devel
 --> portaudio-devel-19-9.fc12.x86_64
sudo yum install gtksourceview2-devel
 --> gtksourceview2-devel-2.8.2-1.fc12.x86_64
sudo yum install fluidsynth-devel
 --> fluidsynth-devel-1.1.1-1.fc12.x86_64
sudo yum install libtool-ltdl-devel
 -->  libtool-ltdl-devel-2.2.6-18.fc12.1.x86_64


(2) Compilation dies completely and confusingly in building documentation:

>Making all in doc
>./make: line 1: html:: command not found
>warning: failed to load external entity "/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/xhtml/docbook.xsl"

I have docbook-style-xsl-1.75.2-6.fc12.noarch installed which installs
using paths like
/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/xhtml/docbook.xsl

At this point, I tried changing some of the files with the wrong paths
and everything started breaking more so I gave up....

(3) Before giving up, I cd'd to "src" and typed make. It built denemo
and it runs but complains about missing files (since I never installed
it).

(4) Deciding I don't need the documentation, I changed the toplevel
makefile to exclude documentation
and rebuilt successfully. For details, see:
http://nielsmayer.com/npm/denemo.COMPILE.txt
http://nielsmayer.com/npm/denemo.INSTALL.txt

And this is the change needed to allow compilation to complete:
> gnulem-234-~/denemo-git> diff Makefile.~1~  Makefile
> 294c294
> < SUBDIRS = libsmf m4 doc actions pixmaps po src \
> ---
> > SUBDIRS = libsmf m4 actions pixmaps po src \

(5) Now it runs -- i can put notes on the screen and hear fluidsynth's
output in my headphones .... It produces the following output at
launch:

.................................
