Hello! Like the subject line says, I'm a newcomer, this is my first post on this list. So, hiyall =) Also, forgive my faulty English. (and the long rant, possibly even a bit OT too) When I found Shaketracker I was bouncing with the joy, until I tried to compile it. There aren't so many good music apps for linux and especially not too many tracker-like midi apps. I really like the tracker UI but I can't seem to find good 'classical' instruments(samples) for trackers. I have good midi instruments, but I dearly hate the input system almost all midi composing tools have adopted. So Shaketracker was what I had been looking for some time... and like I said, I couldn't get it to compile. At this point I didn't try to fix it myself, because usually with some googling you'll find out someone else has made a patch or there is actually a new version of the software which compiles etc. So, after googling, I had only found other people who had the same problems. I took a hammer and began fixing it myself with not-so-optimistic feelings. I got it working though, it was mostly namespace problems, some code changes here and there. I still gives warnings but compiles and runs(works) on my RedHat 9.0 system. So, someone still struggling with this problem, I have got a patch for you to try out =) - SampoV __ Ota itsellesi luotettava kotimainen email http://www.jippii.fi/ Tutustu samalla netin parhaaseen pelipaikkaan JIPPIIGAMESIIN.
