[maemo-developers] Fwd: VMPK & FluidSynth 0.1.0 for Meego Harmattan (Maemo is next?)

[From: Dirk]

Hi,

It would be nice to have the virtual MIDI keybd VMPK and the excellent 
soundfont sampler Fluidsynth on Maemo/ N900 also. It works on Harmattan 
at the moment.

It should be pretty trivial to port it (see message below), but I am not 
a programmer. Would be cool if someone could dive into this a bit!

Thanks in advance,

~D
