Hi Juergen,

Thanks for your work. I'm still trying to compile the the beta1, but I
would like to gently ask you if , perhaps, you missed something:

- I haven't suil-0 , so I made a port of it
http://www.linuxhomestudio.com.br/freebsd/ardour3/suil-0.shar

- I can't remember if a made a lv2 port for ardour or for a
synthesizer, but here it goes any way:
http://www.linuxhomestudio.com.br/freebsd/ardour3/lv2.shar

- I got a problem with the "abs" function, so I changed to "fabs", and
it worked (at least, semmed to work)
http://www.linuxhomestudio.com.br/freebsd/ardour3/patch-export__format__base.cc

==> But I have a "stop error" with this file (would you have a patch,
or any clue ?)

../libs/ardour/audiofile_tagger.cc:43: error: 'bool
ARDOUR::AudiofileTagger::tag_file' is not a static member of 'class
ARDOUR::AudiofileTagger'
../libs/ardour/audiofile_tagger.cc:43: error: 'string' was not
declared in this scope
../libs/ardour/audiofile_tagger.cc:43: error: expected
primary-expression before 'const'
../libs/ardour/audiofile_tagger.cc:43: error: initializer expression
list treated as compound expression
../libs/ardour/audiofile_tagger.cc:44: error: expected ',' or ';'
before '{' token
../libs/ardour/audiofile_tagger.cc:119: error: expected `}' at end of input
Waf: Leaving directory
`/usr/home/monovox/devel/ports-testing/audio/ARDOUR3/ardour/work/ardour-3.0beta1_10637/build'
Build failed

The whole error is here:

Thanks, in advance.
