You can use "weak linking" to solve this problem. On Windows the simplest is to compile the following file: http://trac.jackaudio.org/browser/jack2/trunk/jackmp/common/JackWeakAPI.cpp instead of linking with libjack.lib Stéphane ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.
