Hi Guys This is quite a disturbing message..
nearly 2 weeks ago Paul Davis marked one of my messages as something "seriously wrong" going on .. when libraries were compiling as dynamic not static... since then I have responded with full outputs of what is happening. In response I sent full output of what was going on .. tried to sort it out by myself and sent further results.. Okay some of it was too big to get to the list immediately pending "list moderator" acceptance.. and then some of it just purely didn't get responded to. I have done everything I have asked of me from the list, including Paul's responses ..and also taken my own initiatives following lack of response and still have recieved no response. Sure I am not a coder just a potential professional user.. but that really shouldn't be an issue... Okay some individuals responded to some of my initial questions, and thankyou to the two of them.. however noone has responded to further enquiries, after acting on the responses I did get.. Is it because I feigned mild support to Steinberg having (while unreleased) versions of their software for Linux?? Or is it because I'm obviously not a coder?? Is it simply because I used the wrong subject line? This disgusts me as about 2 years ago when I said I was going to give up on Linux to the LAD lists a massive response came about saying I should keep going and my opinions (not even problems relating to software directly) were valued and necessary. Now when I have real problems compiling something, contained with as much information I could forward were included it seems it is irrelevant and no-one seems willing to respond at all (let alone Paul) .. Other compile and/or configure problems have been responded too earlier than mine (at all really as my last few posts have not received any reply) even though I acted upon all requests made of me. I am active in all lists that I am involved in with any replies that I may have a potential answer to and have been promoting this OS and in particular the potential of Ardour to many fellow professionals in the industry. I also have rad and learnt as much as I could to give qualitative feedback to any problems I incur. All I seek is the ability to use open source software in preference to rip-off commercial apps. Yes, I admit there is potential for both to exist on this platform and would use some commerical apps to aide in crossover but that is not the point of this (ardour-dev) list. It would seem only the MusE list responds to anything I send, and only a few particular individuals at that. Aside from being upset, it appears to me that you guys are all a bunch of hypocrites.. Asking for further information, and clarification but never actually responding, while I do everything that I can possibly thing\k of in aiding you answer my questions.. yet continue to be ignored... It does not seem to be a coincidence that all response ended after my response to the string "ahem". So I've wasted 2+ years of my life and countless dollars continuing down this path. Yes this is an emotional response as it seems like my friends advised me I should have just bought a Mac ,, inferior latency aside.. at least the support groups there (even those non-funded as this list) genuinely help. My only problem is , where do I go from here?? This really saddens me as I thought this (Linux) was the future. It seems it is only a future for the GPL elite. extremely pissed off Allan Klinbail
