I had to add
alsa to the list of libraries in the SConstruct to make
it compile.
Now why could that be... Which operating system are you using?
Linux on ppc. Portmidi makes use of alsa. It's not surprising that you
have to link against it...
Unfortunately
the program locks up my Xsession. It does
send midi events when I press the keys of my keyboard though...
Please see the on-line manual; you're probably talking about the
looks-like-a-crash-but-is-safe window. It's a stub for until I get round
to coding a proper UI. The program is designed to take full control of
the keyboard and mouse so you don't accidentally switch tasks while
playing. A key combination is used for quitting that is unlikely to be
hit accidentally: Press and hold the ESC key, then press the return key.
You could just print this to standard out and spare the shock to your
future users!
cheers,
