Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-multimedia (Nobody) <multimedia@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 272480: audio/fluid-soundfont: Add the soundfont link /usr/local/share/soundfonts/default.sf2 that some users expect https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=272480 --- Description --- Background: The 'dmidiplayer' executable installed by audio/dmidiplayer prints this error: > MIDI Output "Error: fluid_sfloader_load(): Failed to open '/usr/local/share/soundfonts/default.sf2': File does not exist.\nError: Unable to open file '/usr/local/share/soundfonts/default.sf2'\nError: Failed to load SoundFont \"/usr/local/share/soundfonts/default.sf2\"\nWarning: Failed to set thread to high priority" This soundfont file name comes from fluidsynth from this line in audio/fluidsynth: > cmake_admin/DefaultDirs.cmake: set (DEFAULT_SOUNDFONT "${CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_DATADIR}/soundfonts/default.sf2" CACHE STRING This file is not installed, but there is a tradition to reference such file. For example, to work around this problem audio/drumstick/Makefile replaces default.sf2 with /usr/local/share/sounds/sf2/FluidR3_GM.sf2 installed by audio/fluid-soundfont. The attached patch creates the symbolic link so that any applications that happen to expect share/soundfonts/default.sf2 would fine it.
