i believe that the question was answered, but
here's one for you: what
is the justification for continuing to use such an ancient version of
Ardour? there are probably 300-400 bugs fixed since then, some of them
very serious ones.
I'm not too keen about updating Fedora 8. Everything works OK. When I
want to record things it works. I have seen too numerous problems when
doing other updates.
But I would like to get bug fixes and I'm quite interested in trying
out the upcoming new Ardour with MIDI sequencing support.
I used to build my own Linux systems (LFS, BLFS), some 8 years ago, for
both home and work. This is how I started with Linux MIDI. I've seen
some software that is difficult to build, but not that much, all in
all. I have never built Ardour. Are the requierements flexible enough
to make it compile-able using gcc 4.1.2 and GTK 2.0 ? I could be
interested in compiling the latest sources.
Yeah, one of these days I'll have to update the whole system and I'm
sometimes wondering if I wouldn't go back to make my own system instead
of going with one of the distros. I'd like to only have what I need
and nothing else, until it's needed.
