No no no! I didn't mean to integrate QuestStudio's MIDI files into FreeSCI or
something. I meant that you could compare the FreeSCI's MIDI files with
QuestStudio's MIDI files, & MP3 files to fine tune FreeSCI's MIDI engine. I think
that some of these files (at QuestStudio) may be edited to ensure playback on some
modern sound equipment.
With I was compiling FreeSCI under Mandrake, the distribution of GGI that I have,
seems to store the compiled library binaries in "/usr/local/lib" at default instead
of "/usr/lib". When I compile it, I get somesort shared library linking error.
I have even edited "/etc/ld.so.conf" to include "/usr/local/lib" then recompile
FreeSCI, it seems that the FreeSCI's make/configure scripts do not take
"/etc/ld.so.conf" into consideration. I have even tried to edit "Makefiles" to
include "-L/usr/local/lib" switch. (I am more experienced in using DOS/Windows than
Linux) But I have gotten FreeSCI to run, by symlinking the GGI library files at
"/usr/local/lib" to "/usr/lib" so FreeSCI can run.
