[Om-synth] dave's lash patches

[Atte André Jensen]

Seems to me that the lash-hackers are the same as the om people. So I 
ask here:

I'm very interrested in getting a lashed environment, esp a sample 
playing thingy, butso be very nice.

I found lash patches for seq24 and specimen at 
http://www.scs.carleton.ca/~drobilla/files/. I have a hard time getting 
the software to compile, even without the patches, so I was wondering: 
wouldn't it be nice to have om, lash, and eventually lash-enabled 
versions of stuff like specimen, fluid, seq24, and what not in 
debian/unstable? I seem to remember that Dave is a debian user himself, 
so maybe om/lash wouldn't be that hard to get into the three. The next 
thing would be to lobby for the lash patches to be integrated into the 
main tree of the other software. Or is there a better way (besides 
undefined patience) to get stable, binaries of lashed stuff?

Next my compile problems (debian/unstable), specimen first. I cannot 
even compile it without the patches, since making phat-0.3.1 fails:

address@hidden phat-0.3.1]$ make
<snip>
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
phatkeyboard.c: In function 'phat_keyboard_get_adjustment':
phatkeyboard.c:622: warning: missing sentinel in function call
phatkeyboard.c:624: warning: missing sentinel in function call
phatkeyboard.c: In function 'phat_keyboard_set_adjustment':
phatkeyboard.c:644: warning: missing sentinel in function call
phatkeyboard.c:646: warning: missing sentinel in function call
make[2]: *** [libphat_la-phatkeyboard.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/data/atte/software/phat/phat-0.3.1/phat'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/data/atte/software/phat/phat-0.3.1/phat'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

I have the feeling that when this works, I can compile specimen, and 
then applying the patch + recompiling should be within reach...

I compiled seq 24 fine with out the patch, but with the patch I get:

address@hidden seq24-0.7.0]$ make
<snip>
In file included from seq24.cpp:30:
lash.h:29:23: error: lash/lash.h: No such file or directory
<snip>
lash.h: At global scope:
lash.h:38: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of 'lash_client_t' with no 
type
lash.h:38: error: expected ';' before '*' token
lash.h:40: error: 'lash_event_t' has not been declared
lash.h:41: error: 'lash_config_t' has not been declared

Any help from people who tried this at home would be greatly 
appreciated, thanks in advance...
