How did you get jack? Did you compile it or get it as a pre-compiled
package? At any rate, what you should do is pass "--enable-jack-support"
to the configure line for FluidSynth. You probably want to disable
coreaudio support then since its currently breaking your build (just put
the fluid_coreaudio.c line in src/Makefile.am, back into EXTRA_DIST, or
just remove it). Perhaps that will get things working then. I'm not sure
how to get the coreaudio libs to link, not even sure the library that
should be linked. Anyone on this list know the answer to that one?
