Probably the fluidsynth library is not in your search path. Fix custom.py. For MinGW this library is libfluidsynth.a and libfluidsynth-1.dll.

As far as interfaces are concerned:

SWIG installs and runs easily on all platforms I know about.

We need the Python interface on all platforms.

We need the Java interface on all platforms.

The LISP interface involves no external libraries or dependencies, it is just an FFI file, so it can be installed on all platforms without any problems (though it needs more work).

Lua I like, but we don't need it for the installer.

Mike

Wow, seriously. That's some truth.

Well the strange thing is that I have the headers (I've installed 
Loris, FluidSynth, STK, etc in their separate distros but not been 
successful in building them with Csound yet) and despite the fact that 
the Configuration Decision indicates that FluidSynth is building, it 
does not show up in an opcode list ... Is this a user configuration 
error ? Recently I just edit the SConstruct file in TextEdit.app and 
type scons (as opposed to declaring all configuration decision as 
flags)

Reluctancy to install and mess around with SWIG, Lua, etc. What exactly 
is required to get these up and running ? It seems Victor has already 
tread this path before.
