README_LINUX.txt for PortMidi
Roger Dannenberg
29 Aug 2006

To make PortMidi and PortTime, go back up to the portmidi
directory and type 

make -f pm_linux/Makefile

(You can also copy pm_linux/Makefile to the portmidi
directory and just type "make".)

The Makefile will build all test programs and the portmidi
library. You may want to modify the Makefile to remove the
PM_CHECK_ERRORS definition. For experimental software,
especially programs running from the command line, we 
recommend using PM_CHECK_ERRORS -- it will terminate your
program and print a helpful message if any PortMidi 
function returns an error code.

If you do not compile with PM_CHECK_ERRORS, you should 
check for errors yourself.

This code has not been carefully tested; however, 
all test programs in pm_test seem to run properly.
