MidiPiano For Linux

[adorable...@gmail.com]

First, I'd really like to thank the makers of this fine software.

I have it on my Windows box, however the box I used the most would be
my laptop with Linux on it.
I'd really like to see a linux version of this software, perhaps ran
through timidity++ and using GTK+. I know linux has poor midi support,
but if you use timidity++ as a server it would seem perfectly viable.

I'm so sorry that I have not Linux OS on my computer and I'm poor on
this OS.
It's hard to me to do this.

Actually, I've gotten it working in the emulator program wine. I can
provide you with instructions on how to get it working so other people
with know.

First they must install wine, the windows application emulator:
It's available from http://www.winehq.org

Second, they must install TiMidity++. It is available at
http://timidity.sourceforge.net/

They should configure timidity with these options:
./configure --enable-ncurses --enable-xaw --enable-spectrogram
--enable-xaw=dynamic --enable-audio=oss,alsa --enable-alsaseq

They'll then need a soundfont, they're on http://www.hammersound.net

After they have timidity and wine installed, they can download your
program.
They add the following commands to their /etc/rc.d/rc.local script:
/dev/MAKEDEV seq;
chmod 777 /dev/seq*;
ln /dev/sequencer /dev/snd/seq -s;
chmod 777 /dev/snd/seq;
timidity -iA -D -OsS -EFreverb=d 1>/dev/null 2> /dev/null;

When they reboot their system, the timidity server will start up
automatically in the background. They can now change directories to the
place where they installed MidiPiano and type:
wine MidiPiano.exe;

Or if they have GNOME they can right click the executeable, select the
Open WIth tab press Add, then use a custom command:
wine
Now when they double click the windows application, it will open
automatically.

I will provide a screenshot of your application working on my linux for
you. :)
