Hi, So, I'm trying, again (I've been trying off and on to get this right for more than two years now), to get fluidsynth working with portaudio ASIO. I recently got the latest SVN of PortAudio building with ASIO in MSVS thanks to a new tutorial from their team, and thought I'd attempt doing the latest SVN fluidsynth MSVS build as well. That, I found, was broken.
I was informed that CMake would create the necessary configuration to build with MSVS, so I downloaded and installed CMake, ran the Windows GUI, configured it for the VS2008 compiler and then got a whole load of errors and red lines. Most of the red was for libraries I didn't need (alsa, jack, etc). So I deselected those. I then tried loading PATH statements for things that I did need,(i.e.the PortAudio build), but nothing worked. I readup on the FAQ online, and I still do not know how to get it to find what it seems to be needing. So, frustrated with all that I then went and installed MinGW/MSYS, figured out how to build portaudio with ASIO in Msys (thanks to another good tutorial and someone who'd run into a problem recently and posted a workaround), then tried fluidsynth using the wiki information (http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/fluidsynth/wiki/BuildingFluidSynth). Fine until trying ./configure - the file does not exist. So, I ran autogen.sh to create it u...@fluid ~/User/fluidsynth $ ./autogen.sh configure.ac:39: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation. configure.ac:94: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_LIB_PROG_LD_GNU configure.ac:99: error: possibly undefined macro: AS_HELP_STRING So, what now...? I spend a day trying to get an environment setup where I can build and test things, and I get nowhere. I feel as though I have again completely wasted my time, or that I'll have to invest another two or three days just learning how to get arround these errors, time that I'd rather spend on using the software. I just want to use fluidsynth with ASIO support. So, before I pull out any more hair... is there someone brave enough to help me? Sorry for the rant, but as a non-developer I'm now stumped.
