[fluid-dev] [ANN] The fink packages for fluidsynth-1.1.3 is now available

[Ebrahim Mayat]

Hello fluidsynth users on OS X

I have provided two fluidsynth packages for the 1.1.3 version.

The first one called "fluidsynth" is the autotools-built version of  
fluidsynth which is recommended for end-users. In addition to  
coreaudio support, portaudio support will also be compiled into the  
binary prior to the install process. To compile and install simply  
run, "fink install fluidsynth" following the installation of the fink  
package distribution. For more detailed information, please read the  
README-OSX document included in the upper-level fluidsynth-1.1.3  
directory.

If you require information about "fluidsynth" simply run "fink  
describe fluidsynth". This description includes the following usage  
description:

Usage Notes:
 Packages needing fluidsynth are recommended to use the package  
fluidsynth1
 which uses the new recommended upstream build system.  Future  
updates will
 only happen to the fluidsynth1 package.
 .

This brings me to the "fluidsynth1" package. This package is the cmake- 
built one and it also includes notes for packagers who are adding  
programs that link to libfluidsynth. All updates of fink packages  
linking to fluidsynth should be done using the "fluidsynth1" package  
and NOT the "fluidsynth" package:

 Usage Notes:
 To properly link to fluidsynth1, packagers will need to set some  
combination
 of CFLAGS, LDFLAGS, or similar compiler flags to point to
 /sw/lib/fluidsynth1/(include/lib).

The fink packagers of  audacious2-plugins, gst-buzztard, scummvm and  
sdl-mixer are particularly requested to take note.

Enjoy!
