[fluid-dev] Cannot run fluidsynth with ALSA

[mike]

Hello,

I cannot run fluidsynth using ALSA

A few details:

Platform: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, x86_64
fluidsynth: 1.1.7
cmake: cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -Denable-ladspa=1

cmake yields :
**************************************************************
Summary:
Build type:            RelWithDebInfo
libsndfile:            no (raw audio file rendering only)

**************************************************************

cmake does not complain about finding ALSA, and will yield the same even 
if I change -Denable-ladspa=1 to -Denable-alsa=1

after a successful 'make':

./fluidsynth -a alsa FluidR3_GM.sf2 LUTE.mid
yielded : fluidsynth: error: Couldn't find the requested audio driver 
alsa. Valid drivers are: file, oss.

./fluidsynth -a file FluidR3_GM.sf2 LUTE.mid
yielded : fluidsynth.raw, which was playable by Audacity. Also 
complained about MIDI.

Any help would be much appreciated

Regards, Mike
