Fails to build on Ubuntu 14.04

[hellocatfood]

When running ./configure I get the following error: configure: error: Missing librtmidi-dev However, when I try to install this it would result in lots of packages being uninstalled The following packages will be REMOVED jackd jackd2 jackd2-firewire libasound2-plugins:i386 libjack-jackd2-0 libjack-jackd2-0:i386 nuvolaplayer-flashplugin nuvolaplayer-flashplugin-multiarch:i386 qjackctl skype:i386

Is there any way to compile this without relying on librtmidi-dev?

The Debian and Ubuntu packaging or PortMidi and RtMidi made it very challenging so far.

Which branch or tag are you trying to build? It seems like it is currently a mandatory dependency in the develop branch. (the main development branch) We could make RtMidi non-mandatory.

I've tried compiling devlop and master and both have this dependency
