Paconnect, ALSA MIDI Connection Manager

ALSA MIDI Connection manager

This is a litlle program that provides more or less the same functionality as many other programs:

aconnect, included in alsa-utils package
kaconnect , by Dr. Matthias Nagorni
ALSA MIDI Patch Bay , by Robert Ham
aconnectgui , by Maarten de Boer

So, why another one? Because this one is written in Pascal, for the Kylix compiler, and I wanted to test both Kylix and my ALSAPAS unit.

This is only a test project, but I find it useful and funny. Do you want to see a screenshot? OK, here is it.

RPM Install

Prerequisites:

Kylix 3 Libraries RPM package. Download it from sourceforge.net/projects/kylixlibs
ALSA 0.9.0-rc5 Library RPM, download it from some RPM search engine, as: rpmfind.net, rpm.pbone.net, or freshrpms.net

Install first ALSA and Kylixlibs3 packages, then install paconnect as usual:

$ rpm -ivh paconnect-0.4-1mdk.i586.rpm

Source Install

Prerequisites:
Kylix 3 Open Edition, download it from www.borland.com

Unpack the downloaded tarball on your home directory or any other suitable place

    $ tar -xvjf paconnect-0.4.tar.bz2

Prepare your kylix compiler environment, running the kylixpath script

    $ source /path_to/kylix3/bin/kylixpath

Run make

    $ make

Optionally, install program as root

    $ make install

Enjoy!

Notes:

Any time you are going to run the program, you should run first the 'kylixpath' script.
Instead of running 'make', you can open the project file 'paconnect.dpr' with Kylix IDE, and compile it as usual.
