Judging from what I read on the Midishare list, most Linux users of Midishare indeed have trouble dealing with compilation probs in the kernel module. Not you and me, but you can't expect end users to be able to handle problems due to the ever-changing kernel API. This stuff isn't trivial. You don't have to be a kernel hacker (I'm certainly not), but you really need to understand the Midishare code if you have to sift the kernel headers for a replacement for some kernel routine which just miraculously disappeared, thanks to your friendly kernel dev cleaning up the kernel code. I've done it more than once... > And actually I really like the Midishare design Nobody argues that.

Of course not. But you still have to deal with it. :) > There are no kernel drivers in MidiShare, only kernel modules. That's what I call the Midishare driver. As I said, the userspace stuff, Midishare library and all that, compiles quite easily on almost any Linux system.
