Did you try to just compile it on OSX? I see it depends on guile-2.0 (that might be a conflict with LilyPond, but you can probably have several versions installed) and ALSA (which is also not available on MacPorts, and I don’t know if it would work on OSX, since it probably conflicts with the sound drivers of macOS). I guess an additional problem might be that Apple severely restricts hardware access, e.g. I can’t access USB-Serial for programming microcontrollers, because Apple only allows signed drivers on current systems, even while there’s no driver necessary. Don’t know if that applies to ALSA or USB-MIDI, but I suppose. Greetlings, Hraban --- fiëé visuëlle Henning Hraban Ramm https://www.fiee.net
