It is relatively simple. Fluidsynth is switching to cmake, automake is
deprecated, so here is a shell script that will build fluidsynth using cmake
without all kinds of stuff we don't need anyway.

#!/bin/bash

set -e -x
wget --continue https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/archive/v1.1.11.tar.gz

tar xf v1.1.11.tar.gz
mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake ../fluidsynth-1.1.11 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/beast \
  -Denable-dbus=0 \
  -Denable-ipv6=0 \
  -Denable-jack=0 \
  -Denable-midishare=0 \
  -Denable-network=0 \
  -Denable-oss=0 \
  -Denable-pulseaudio=0 \
  -Denable-readline=0 \
  -Denable-alsa=0 \
  -Denable-lash=0
make
make install

   Cu... Stefan
