Akai support files are a ported version of Sébastien Métrot's libakai. The |
| 251 |
|
original libakai only supported Mac and Windows. This forked version of |
| 252 |
|
libakai now also supports Linux and other POSIX compliant operating systems |
| 253 |
|
as well and does not have a dependency to libngl as the original libakai had. |

Thanks to all of you for your great work! |
