SVN DIRECTORY

svn repository: https://resonance.org/svn/fluidsynth/trunk/fluidsynth
Max/MSP implementation directory: bindings/fluidmax

The fluidsynth directory in the fluidmax directory contains only a version.h which is just added for the case that the version.h file in the fluidsynth checkout is not (auto-)"maked" or generated otherwise.

For now the file fluid_sys.c is not included to the CW project. Instead there is a file called fluidmax_fakefuns.c implementing some necessary functions.
