pre-built binaries link not working

[ilariosorace]

Hi, and thanks so much for your work!

Would it be possible to get the pre-built binaries for WinGridStrument? I understand the development might have stopped a while ago, but I would love to try this software and I'm not knowledgeable enough to compile it myself. Thanks again!

I tried editing the README to force a rebuild, but it seems the build has bit-rotted. Let me look at this after work...

[rogerallen]

Looks like it is running now. Taking a while to build, so check back in a bit and see if the binary shows up. Let me know if it works okay!

[rogerallen]

Please give it a try & let me know if it works for you https://ci.appveyor.com/project/rogerallen/wingridstrument/build/artifacts

[rogerallen]

nope that artifact was only the .exe. There is supposed to be a .zip file with a few .dll files, too. Retrying...

[rogerallen]

Seems like my appveyor.yml on github is being ignored & the one on the website is being used...Retrying again.

Okay--all the files are built. Downloading these files, your browser & OS will tell you this is dangerous--and it actually is not safe to download unknown binaries. But, the source for WinGridStrument is right here and the EXE and the other DLLs are being built by a trusted service Appveyor.

Put all the files in one directory & the exe should start up!

I'm not getting sound from the sound font yet. Will do some more testing.

Thanks so much for your effort! I did not expect such a quick response. I downloaded all the files, and the software does indeed start, but unfortunately neither the MIDI out nor the soundfonts work. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. And again, thanks a lot for doing this! Il giorno mar 12 dic 2023 alle ore 07:48 Roger Allen < ***@***.***> ha scritto:

Thanks for the interest. I hope to get this fixed up. I don't know what has changed, but I now have Windows 11 Lenovo machine, not a Windows 10 Surface. I haven't played with MIDI in a while, either. It may be a few days before I can debug this.
