Hi Pedro

I tried installing jack 0.103 0.109 0.118 ,  they all had the midi header file but FS-1.1.3 did not like it.

I tried installing jack 1.95 from source, but it wouldn't  compile (missing files in the source package).

Giving up on jack, I tried: configure --without-jack-support ; make
It did compile, but still tried to link to jack! No success.

Tried cmake: After some guessing (is there on option list somewhere?) cmake -Denable-jack=0
compiles, but gives a similar link error!

 Regards
