Re: [fluid-dev] Trying to compile for iPhone

[Zegelin Peter]

My son actually got fluidSynth working on the iPhone over a year ago.  
Not sure how he did it though, or which version of fluidsynth was  
used. FluidSynth played midis really well in the Simulator but on the  
iPhone it was pretty bad. Dropped notes everywhere. I think the thing  
is a bit under powered for midi/fluidsynth. I seem to recall things  
improved a bit with a small soundfont and simple midis, but still not  
great. I'll be interested to see how it goes for you!
