hm ok

simply solution. I just added a soft link

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python38.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_python.so

YES looks like it works fine!

I think I read somewhere that support got dropped because the source is unmaintained.

it seems to be true https://github.com/dsacre/mididings , last commit is 5y ago.

https://github.com/rralf/mididings seems a hopeful pickup. I managed to pick up all the dependencies (optional too) and I try to build

During link stage I get

    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_python

which is weird because I do have the latest version of libboost-python-dev installed.

Anyway, looking into it (if someone has any idea let me know)

Best regards,

Reading the homepage of mididings http://das.nasophon.de/mididings/ the
author claims that this software is working with python3.
("Dependencies: Python >= 2.5 (also works with 3.x) […]")

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/mididings

Don't know, why they took it out of the repo, but they did.

Greets!
