[ardour-users] ardour 0.9beta19 build errors

[Josh Karnes]

Trying to build ardour 0.9beta19, run into these errors:

first at the end of './configure', I get this:

configure: WARNING: no configuration information is in templates

[can't be good, right?]

then I do 'make', get the following:

... a whole lot more errors that look just like this but are different 
"undeclared" and different line numbers in alsa_sequencer_midiport_cc.  then I get:
