Hello,
I would like to use some .sfArk files. To this effect I have found
the following for Ubuntu systemes (eg. Linux Mint) which seems
reasonable, but the git repo needs a username and password, which are
not supplied. What could they be ?

Thanks.

Just use

OK, this works fine for both lib and sfArk utility.
There's an error in processing a sfArk file, though. The problem is
even more because these soundfounts seems very, very nice !
The soundfounts are from The Jazz Page (click download link) at:
http://www.thejazzpage.de/index1.html
Is this sfarkxtc utility the only way to go to be able to use these
files with Qsynth ? Is there any other way ?
A processing run looks like:

I can confirm that too for 64bit, but FWIW running this http://melodymachine.com/sfark.htm
in wine got the soundfonts extracted, just to let you know in case running non-oss windows
programs is an option...

Many thanks for the replies ! I haven't tried the 32-bit way yet, so I
can do that using a 32-bit Mint VM.
I just tried now by coincidence the Windows version from melodymachine
using wine, and although it installs OK (I presume, even though it is
in C:\Program Files where ever that really is in Linux !), and although
it is possible to use the GUI to navigate to a soundfile (way out there
somewhere else on the Linux machine) and double-click it, the program
will report 'file not found'. I'm surely missing something fundamental
about how wine/Windows apps works in Linux.
Cheers.
