I appreciate all your wondrous work,
Mike.
It's just amazing all the absolutely crucial time
and effort you and other developers put in to making and keeping Csound the
incredible tool it is..
We are all so grateful.

Viability of FLTK
Your theory sounds correct to me. I will see if there is some stray
#ifdef in the code.
Regards,
Mike

FWIW, I've determined that the combination of FLTK, MIDI and

I continue to imagine that the problem with XP has something to do with
the autoenabling of the virtual_keyboard MIDI plugin, which instantiates
regardless of whether or not an -M flag is present, as:
C:\Csound6\bin>csound FLTKTest.csd
virtual_keyboard real time MIDI
plugin for Csound
0dBFS level = 32768.0
Csound version 6.00.1 (double
samples) Sep 4 2013
libsndfile-1.0.25
UnifiedCSD:
FLTKTest.csd
I also note that Csound6 (latest Windows installer) does not include a
.csoundrc file. (I don't imagine this has anything to do with the problem,
but I thought I'd mention it anyway.)
I do feel somewhat better now that I know that FLTK and MIDI are only
incompatible with Csound6 and Windows XP - no other combinations. It surely
would be nice to discover precisely what the incompatibility is,
however.

Stefano,
Thanks for your tests of FLTK, Csound6, MIDI and
Windows XP. Your data are further indication that these do not work
together.
I continue to believe that with Csound6 only
and in Windows XP, the Virtual MIDI device is by default enabled, and
that this keeps other MIDI devices (via the -M flag) from being recognized
by Csound.
Does anyone have Windows *Vista* installed along with
Csound6 (Setup_Csound_6.00.1.exe) who could run the attached test file? FLTK
and MIDI are compatible on Windows 7, but not on Windows XP. What is the
case with Vista?
If you have no MIDI device, console output that
indicates the error "no MIDI device found" shows that everything is
working correctly. With a MIDI device attached, console messages indicating
when widgets are clicked or change value should appear.
Thanks again -
Art Hunkins
I continue to be perplexed by why FLTK doesn't
communicate with Csound6 under Windows XP with MIDI (-M0 specified in
CsOptions). I've tried this combination on three XP machines
with no joy. The combination works with Windows 7, and earlier
versions of Csound(5) also work as expected.
On Windows XP with the latest Csound5 installer
(Setup_Csound_6.00.1.exe 2013-09-04) the attached FLTKTest.csd works
as expected without the -M0 flag (in CsOptions), but *not with* the
flag.
The expected behavior from the console, is for
an rtevent to be displayed when the FLTK button is pressed, and
for a new value of the FLTK counter to be displayed *only when
the FLTK button is "on"*.
I'd much appreciate it if anyone with a Windows
XP *or Vista* installation and with Csound6.00.1 installed, could let
me know whether FLTKTest.csd runs propearly from the console or not.
You should not even need a MIDI controller to test the -M0 flag. If
the console simply informs you that you don't have a MIDI device
attached, this counts as a success.
