Description: If one installs wildmidi and tries to run it,
it complains as follows:
libWildMidi(_WM_BufferFile:132): ERROR Unable to stat /etc/wildmidi/wildmidi.cfg (No such file or directory) I believe a default wildmidi.cfg is provided with the upstream sources, and so it should probably be installed at that location. It may require additional dependencies (e.g., timidity-freepats). |

Edit: sorry, use the second download. Made a typo in one of the configuration files and it is fixed in that one. Interface won't let me delete the first one...
wildmidi-0.3.8-2-src.tar.gz (2.5 KiB)
System Error (_WM_BufferFileImpl:218) /etc/wildmidi/wildmidi.cfg (Unable to stat) : No such file or directory
I am wondering: If as you say, the program is working fine with an empty config file, shouldn't the config file then be optional in the first place?
I opened an upstream issue to resolve this question.

Unlike other MIDI players, wildmidi does not support the Soundfont2 (SF2) format [1], so we can't use soundfont-fluid or freepats-general-midi.
