Thanks Josh!

I have indeed used the 1.0.9 sources

I ran ./autogen.sh and then got an error message pkg-config not found.
When I googled this, I found this article:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=4360

So I Installed Darwinports and ran the script

sudo port -v install libidl

About half an hour later when this was finished, I ran /autogen.sh
again but this time got the error:

libtoolize: command not found

When I googled this I found this:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/56648

So I edited autogen.sh and changed libtoolize to glibtoolize. and
autogen.sh now works

I ran the

./build_for_iphoneos.sh simulator --disable-jack-support
--disable-coreaudio --disable-coremidi --without-readline

script again (had to run as sudo) and this time a load of output to
the console, a few permissions problems running scripts, which I fixed
using chmod u+x on the offending scripts and finally...


Success! (I think)

Build succeeded!  Files were installed in

 
/Users/skooter500/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator3.1.sdk

When I cd to that folder there is a new folder lib with the files

libfluidsynth.a         l
ibfluidsynth.la
pkgconfig/fluidsynth.pc

Which I  presume are what static libraries look like on a Mac/iPhone

I'll try and build something for the iPhone that uses it and see how it goes.

Thanks

Bryan
