Cannot build: snd_seq_ump_ev_clear was not declared in this scope

[DaAwesomeP]

Building on Linux I am getting an error with midi2usb. Possibly related to #7. I have ALSA v1.2.10. Was there a change in v1.2.11 that needs to be accounted for to be compatible with both versions? See https://www.alsa-project.org/wiki/Detailed_changes_v1.2.10_v1.2.11#Sequencer_API

Looks like we could use SND_LIB_MAJOR/SND_LIB_MINOR/SND_LIB_SUBMINOR to find the version from alsa-lib's version.h:

https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-lib/blob/f70653fda79742cd1ff93e7a521ae3a333d21882/include/Makefile.am#L82-L101

@DaAwesomeP You are correct that the snd_seq_ump_ev_clear waas only added in 1.2.11 :/
I will try adding some checks for this.

[starfishmod]

@DaAwesomeP if you put

#ifdef SND_LIB_SUBMINOR => 11
    snd_seq_ump_ev_clear(&ev);
#endif

in /midi2usb/alsabindings.cc on line 373

Does this fix your compile issue?

[DaAwesomeP]

I was able to get it to compile by swapping snd_seq_ump_ev_clear for snd_seq_ev_clear on that line. I'll try your specific patch tomorrow! Thanks!

[starfishmod]

slight improvement:

#ifdef SND_LIB_MAJOR > 1 || (SND_LIB_MAJOR == 1 && (SND_LIB_MINOR > 2 || (SND_LIB_MINOR == 2 && SND_LIB_SUBMINOR >= 11)))
    snd_seq_ump_ev_clear(&ev);
#else
    snd_seq_ev_clear(&ev);
#endif

[DaAwesomeP]

I changed #ifdef to #if and it works! Thanks! I only tested on my older ALSA version.

I also needed to update node-gyp (I tried 11.1.0) in both /package.json and /midi2usb/package.json to get it to build.
