README_LINUX.txt for PortMidi
Roger Dannenberg
8 June 2004
To make PortMidi and PortTime, go back up to the portmidi directory and type make.
The Makefile will build all test programs and the portmidi library. You may want to modify the Makefile to remove the PM_CHECK_ERRORS definition. For experimental software, especially programs running from the command line, we recommend using PM_CHECK_ERRORS -- it will terminate your program and print a helpful message if any PortMidi function returns an error code.
If you do not compile with PM_CHECK_ERRORS, you should check for errors yourself.
This code has not been carefully tested; however, all test programs in pm_test seem to run properly.
