I tested and fuid still dependent of fluidsynth installation. There's a way to embed fluidsynth in the external? Or maybe tell the fluid binary to look for libfuidsynth in the fluid~ external folder? So we can distribute it together?

At this moment I have this error:
/Users/esteban/Documents/Pd/externals/fluid~/fluid~.d_fat: dlopen(/Users/esteban/Documents/Pd/externals/fluid~/fluid~.d_fat, 10): Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/fluid-synth/lib/libfluidsynth.2.dylib

I'd strongly suggest using the source from Purr Data:


It's a simple C external, unlike the footils version which depends on flext. It's also had some bugfixes and new features that Albert Graef recently added.

That's nice, thanks. I was indeed hoping that we could have a simple C external that did not rely on flex! I thought Purr was using the original one.

I also see now this uses a modification of pdlbbuilder? Anyway, that also makes things much easier! 

Now, I did try to use and build this, I got the complaint I needed fluidsynth.h, since I'm on a mac, I did "brew install fluidsynth", hit "make" again, and it built it!!!! So excited about this that I am replying to the email before testing it :) 

Now, Esteban is also excited here and willing to compile this for Windows and Linux, what's  the step for those?

And I assume the external works fine for people who don't have fluidsynth installed like I did with "brew install fluidsynth" right?

Cheers
