How to build LinuxSampler on macOS
Posted: Tue Jan 25, 2022 10:50 am
I've tried building LinuxSampler but the instructions in the README on GitHub seem to be out of date. I run the following commands:
As above the CodeMidi and CoreAudio headers are rejected, and I'm not sure how to proceed.
Bonus question 1
Is there perhaps a CI pipeline I could have a look at instead?
Bonus question 2
One of the reasons I'm trying to build it myself is to debug an issue with the CoreMidi driver. I am only able to create one device with one port. I'm not even sure which MIDI device on the system it represents. Perhaps someone knows how to solve this issue?

No supported MIDI input system found!
Sorry, LinuxSampler only supports the following MIDI drivers at the moment:
ALSA, JACK, MIDIShare, CoreMIDI, MME.
If you think you have one of those available on your system, make sure you
also have the respective development (header) files installed.
