DSL linux has gtkguitune, which I was unable to compile for GTK1.2 - maybe 
I need gtk headers installed.  The latest version uses GTK2.
I think other standard DSL programs are GTK1 not 2.
There are also KDE and QT versions.  But not svgalib.

DSL uses kernel 2.4.31 and glibc 2.3.2.  So most programs from it should 
work in BL2 with glibc 2.3.6 upgrade.  Firefox 2 worked.  Programs that 
worked in my upgraded BL2 (glibc 2.3.6) worked in DSL except for:
Opera - needs some module
Seamonkey - runs but does not display (I think one of the libraries needs 
glibc 2.3.4)
piano - does nothing at all - something blinks on the screen

Maybe DSL gtkguitune will work in BL2 (it did in DSL).

http://pitchtune.sourceforge.net 2005 version 0.4 GTK2, but 0.3 GTK1.2. 
The precompiled version uses glibc 2.1.  I don't see any way to tune 33% 
below a note without doing the actual calculations.  I converted the rpm 
and posted at my BL site.

I found also LINGOT guitar etc. tuner.  GTK.  Source code only.

fmit - Free Music Instrument Tuner - Qt and ALSA 'where available' or 
JACK.  About 500K.

tunepiano - needs SDL library and something else is missing in a script.

Qt KDE ALSA

http://digilander.iol.it/guituner  0.2 (related to gtkguituner?)
For GNOME

http://hounddog.sourceforge.net - OSS, KDE and Qt2.

What is needed to compile for GTK or Qt?
