I came here just to let you know that I had problems like this with Ubuntu as well. I wanted to let you know, though, that if you want more reliable access to software like this, an Arch-based system may help you. I constantly had problems of not having new-enough software, and compiling things from source, only to find that I didn't have new-enough libraries to compile software. When I switched to Arch though, that all changed. Packages install faster, I am able to compile whatever I need, I don't need to compile a lot of software, and the AUR even has mididings if your fix stops working for you! And, there is a pro-audio group package that installs tons of great audio software.

If you are interested in Arch and want some help, feel free to message me, I can help you out. Try out Manjaro and see if you like that, it gives you an install of Arch with everything setup for you.

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!
