Hello,
first of all thank you for your awesome project!
I am a member of ScummVM (http://www.scummvm.org) and I am currently
looking into getting our FluidSynth support a bit more up to speed (i.e.
get it into more of our ports, updating to the latest version, etc). It
looks like there are some obstacles for this though. The biggest one is
the glib dependency. For example, modern glib versions do not support
Win9x anymore (2.6.9 is the last one to support this AFAICT from:
http://gtk-win.sourceforge.net/home/index.php/Main/Downloads), which is
some target we still support.
From a quick look at FluidSynth I have the feeling libfluidsynth
includes a lot of code we are not interested in for ScummVM. We are only
really interested in the actual synthesizer part. I hoped
this part
would not depend on glib, however I found references to glib's hash
table and thread code. Is there any chance for the future that
FluidSynth's core synthesizer could be built standalone and without glib
dependency? This would allow us to switch to a version more up to date
than FluidSynth 1.0.9.
Thanks,
Johannes
