I'm not too keen about updating Fedora 8. Everything works OK. When I want to record things it works. I have seen too numerous problems when doing other updates. But I would like to get bug fixes and I'm quite interested in trying out the upcoming new Ardour with MIDI sequencing support. I used to build my own Linux systems (LFS, BLFS), some 8 years ago, for both home and work. This is how I started with Linux MIDI. I've seen some software that is difficult to build, but not that much, all in all. I have never built Ardour. Are the requierements flexible enough to make it compile-able using gcc 4.1.2 and GTK 2.0 ? I could be interested in compiling the latest sources. Yeah, one of these days I'll have to update the whole system and I'm sometimes wondering if I wouldn't go back to make my own system instead of going with one of the distros. I'd like to only have what I need and nothing else, until it's needed. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
