[fluid-dev] installing fluidsynth + midishare on Mac OS X

[Joe Corneli]

I installed midishare with the dmg, but I seem to be having trouble
getting fluidsynth to use it.


Do you have any idea what is going on here?

./configure --disable-jack-support --enable-midishare

The summary says

MidiShare:             yes


But fluidsynth (or fluidsynth -m midishare) says

fluidsynth: error: Couldn't find the requested midi driver
Failed to create the MIDI thread; no MIDI input
will be available. You can access the synthesizer 
through the console.
fluidsynth version 1.0.4


Any help would be appreciated.
