High-level PortMidi bindings for Rust.
PortMidi website: http://portmedia.sourceforge.net/portmidi/
Add this to your Cargo.toml.

portmidi = "*"
You need to make sure you have the PortMidi library installed.
On Ubuntu / Debian:
sh
apt-get install libportmidi-dev
On OSX (Homebrew):
sh
brew install portmidi
On OSX, if you get a linker error ld: library not found for -lportmidi, either,
- make sure you have the Xcode Command Line Tools installed, not just Xcode, or
- make sure you have the PortMidi library in your $LIBRARY_PATH, e.g. for Homebrew:
sh
export LIBRARY_PATH="$LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib"
Examples can be run by cloning the repository and running cargo run --example <example name>.
* list_devices.rs: the simplest example, displays a list of your midi devices
* twinkle_twinkle.rs: demonstrates midi output by playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (forever...)
* monitor_device.rs: demonstrate midi input
Both twinkle_twinkle.rs and monitor_device.rs need a device number supplied, run them without an argument to get a list of the connected devices, e.g.
``
$ cargo run --example twinkle_twinkle
Runningtarget/examples/twinkle_twinkle`
Please supply a device number:
0 IAC Driver Bus 1 true false
1 RADIAS MIDI IN true false
2 RADIAS KBD/KNOB true false
3 IAC Driver Bus 1 false true
4 RADIAS MIDI OUT false true
5 RADIAS SOUND false true
An unknown error occurred
To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.
``
(ignore theAn unknown error occurred`, that is due to the example setting a non-zero exit code, when no device number is supplied)
$ cargo run --example twinkle_twinkle 5
Running `target/examples/twinkle_twinkle 5`
Opening: RADIAS SOUND
