Re: [Denemo-devel] The 1.0 release

[Jeremiah Benham]

I wrote autotools files for portmidi and created a tarball of it. At the 
moment it only compiles for linux. I then created a gub file. You can 
see that in gub/specs/portmidi.py after doing a git pull. Once I have 
this working for windows also we can remove
portmidi from denemo. I think it is a mess anyway. Is there any reason 
to keep it with out code if we get this working reliably?
I am currentan ly uploading denemo-1.0.0.~rc.7-3.linux-x86 that I just 
created linking against this libportmidi.la that was created from this. 
I tested and confirm that portmidi is working this way in the linux 
build. I am using the master branch becuase the linux branch does not 
seem to be compiling for now. That is ok. The only change I need it is 
to patch denemo/src/prefops.c to force denemo to use the included 
lilypond. Then its just of getting evince to open up pdf's in gtk3 based 
systems to get the linux binary in get shape
