Hi folk,

I've recently taken an interest in building LMMS. I'm using openSuse12 with
the lmms-0.4.13 tarball. 

What I'm finding is that the version of STK which is installed via the
normal openSuse mechanism ( i.e. via Yast2 ) omits a number of headers
which are included in the STK distribution from the STK source at
https://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/stk/ . 

LMMS appears to rely on at least one of these headers, namely TubeBell.h.

Looking further into this, it appears that the omitted headers are those
which indicate a possible patent problem with the technique used.  

So my question is, what are people normally doing here ? Clearly I could
just substitute the openSuse STK distribution with the Stanford
distribution and continue to build, but that does not address the question
of patents. 

At the moment I feel that LMMS is putting me in a position where I have to
either agree to take a risk on patent infringement, or else hack LMMS to
remove the offending functionality ( or simply omit the entire STK ).

I guess my strong preference would be that the *default*  LMMS build
omitted any functionality which posed such a risk. 

Cheers,
Mark de Roussier
