Just for grins, I had a crack at building the very ancient "X11
Rosegarden" 2.1
(
http://www.cannam.demon.co.uk/rosegarden/distribution/) which was
originally written for Sun-3 and SGI Indigo and hasn't been seriously
worked on since 1999. It was hopelessly unable to work on my current
64-bit machine... must be fixable, might be an amusing bit of hacking.
That would be _very_ fast these days... but it never did all that much.
If you ever get the old Rosegarden working, let us know. Lots of people
seem to think that it's necessary to make something run on GTK or QT to
make it look good. I actually loved the look of the old Rosegarden.
Too bad it's completely oblivious to Alsa concepts of Midi.
