MacOS Sonoma:

I installed Fluidsynth: brew install fluidsynth
I installed the latest JJazzlab from JJazzLab-4.01-mac-x64.pkg

The Fluidsynth option is greyed out when running JJazzlab. Here's the log:

Unable to export audio file if the FluidSynth box is greyed out.

Thanks for the log, unfortunately it does not give me any hint why it does not work.

To get FluidSynth running JJazzLab needs to load the shared library file "libfluidsynth.3.dylib", but it seems it can't find it on your system.

Did you get some errors while installing fluidsynth with homebrew ?

In a terminal, please run ls /opt/homebrew/lib/libfluid* and copy the output here.

Same for the command brew ls --verbose fluidsynth (it's supposed to show the files installed by brew).

I did not get any errors when I installed fluidsyth.

There is no /opt directory on a mac, but there is /usr/local/opt directory. I have uninstalled and re-installed with brew.

ls -al /usr/local/opt/fluid-synth

Ok I understand now. I did not know that Brew installs in different paths depending on processor type (Intel or M1). I tested using a M1 mac, I assume you have an Intel one.

Please show me the results of ls /usr/local/lib/fluid* ? I assume you will find /usr/local/lib/libfluidsynth.dylib (symlink)

I will fix this in 4.0.2, but here is a hack in the meantime: in the JJazzLab installation directory, edit the etc/jjazzlab.conf file to add -J-Dfluidsynthlib.path=/usr/local/lib/libfluidsynth.dylib at the end of the default_options variable.

Then run JJazzLab.
