Hi Nasca,
yesterday I tried your first version of ZynAddSubFX on my PC at home,
and though I was not able to use it successfully yet, I'd like to give
some feedback -
First, some info: My system is running Debian, with recent ALSA
(0.9.0rc3), recent FLTK (1.1.0rc1) and kernel 2.4.17. FFTW is 2.1.3.
Compiling ZynAddSubFX, I found that it tries to include "drfftw.h" in
DSP/FFTwrapper.h. I don't have this file, but reading into the FFTW
source and looking at my Debian packages, I saw there are version for
single precision and double precision, and though the FFTW source
package recommends to call the include files for the double precision
version "drfftw.h", it is actually only named "rfftw.h". Ok, so I
changed that and compilation went on a lot further.
Later on, another compiler error:
make[1]: Entering directory `/u1/src/zyn/ZynAddSubFX-1.0.0/src/Synth'
gcc -O6 -c -o ADnote.o ADnote.C
gcc -O6 -c -o Envelope.o Envelope.C

Looking at DSP/FFTwrapper.C, I see you are using the type "REALTYPE *"
(with REALTYPE being defined in global.h as being float) for both
"freqs" and "smps". I changed that to the correct prototype, fftw_real
*, and now everything compiles and links.
However, when I runs the binary, as soon as I connect its ALSA port to
e.g. vkeybd and try to play it, it gives a segfault. I compile it with
-g -O to see where this happens, but the gdb output is rather useless
for me, probably due to the crash happening in another thread:
#0 0x40301730 in free () from /lib/libc.so.6

I hope this is not due to my "fix".
A similar crash happens whenever I try to load a master file:

Oh, and I noticed the default filter mask in the file requester is wrong
- I always need to change this from (*.mas_zyn) to * to see the master
files.
Any hints or suggestions are welcome. The demo files sound very
interesting, so I am eager to get this to run.
Thanks,
Frank
