Hi Pete,

I'll try the build I have later and see if I can come up with something...

Best,
Rob

Hi All

Problem resolved.

Either put fluidsyn.dll in the bin directory (with fluidsynth.exe) or somewhere on the libpath.

Now I gather I need some soundfont files to make it play midi files. Any recommendations?

Regards

Pete

Try this archive out. They may be useful, they may not.

(I have a Creative Soundblaster Soundfont back at school that I can't remember where I found it. I'll post it when I get back).

Hi Robert

I think the main problem with fluidsynth is that like a lot of *nix software you are meant to know what it is and how to configure and use it without any useful docs being available - especially for non-*nix systems.

Maybe I've simply made a mistake by unzipping the contents to my choice of location instead of to the root of a drive... I did try adjusting the fluidsynth.pc configuration file that I found to suit the current location but no change.

I'll simply pass on this at this time. Maybe a future build will be more non-*nix friendly and have some useful docs to help get it working.

Regards

Pete

Pete,

I found many times that un*x ported apps use a directory structure similar to this:

<application dir>
|
\--bin
|
\--lib
|
\--man

and so on.

The "lib" subdir often contains the needed DLLs. It should suffice to move those DLLs to the bin\ subdirectory.
