CPU:  Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz

Expected Behavior

./odin run examples/all/all_vendor.odin should not output any errors.

Current Behavior

./odin run examples/all/all_vendor.odin outputs:

I'm interested in using portmidi but after reading these errors I'm afraid, that it won't work correctly.

Steps to Reproduce

1. ./odin run examples/all/all_vendor.odin

This isn't really a "bug" but more of a "Linux is not yet supported for portmidi and miniaudio".

Thank you for your fast reply. And for all your work on Odin of course. Actually I'm mainly looking for an excuse to learn Odin and accidentally I need some midi tooling for a music project. But implementing this in a language, that I know already, would anyway be faster. Therefore my need for Odin Portmidi Linux support is not crucial. However:

• Is it planned to support portmidi on Linux in the near future?
• Is there anything I could help with? (Considering that I have zero experience in Odin and only very rusty portmidi knowledge from an old Rust project some years ago, where I used an existing portmidi wrapper.)
• Additionally It might be helpful to mention on https://pkg.odin-lang.org/vendor/ if some packages work only on some operating systems, to avoid confusion.
