v5.1.0 fails to compile

[thbar]

While trying to test out the timestamp support (see #6), I updated from v5.0.1 to v5.1.0 and got that error:

** (Mix) could not run `make`. Do you have make, gcc and libportmidi installed?

This happens with a brand new mix project.

I'm not sure yet what is happening here ; I've been able to clone the repo locally and launch the tests etc, I see warnings but no errors. Maybe the compilation is stopped with a non zero exit-code due to a warning.

Hi there, sorry for the long wait! I've just published version 5.1.1, which should hopefully get rid of this issue. I think you compiler is somehow a bit too pedantic and fails with that warning about the NULL incompatibility, so I've replaced it with a simple 0 (that argument is not used anyway for input devices).

Let me know how it goes! 👋

Hi! No need to apologize for the wait - you don't owe anything to anyone :-)

This new version goes a bit further, thanks for the patch !

I then stumble on another issue, which I'll investigate (but I still wanted to provide feedback):

== Compilation error on file lib/portmidi/nifs/devices.ex ==

@thbar Hi.
I experienced the same error.
That error may be caused by the version of Erlang VM you are using.

if you use Homebrew on Mac, exec brew switch erlang 19.x; brew link --overwrite erlang to make sure use latest Erlang VM.

@zenwerk I switched to 19.3, then cleaned/recompiled, and ultimately it worked. Closing this one. Thanks!
