Glue.cpp bug with newest version of BlitzMax NG

[MidimasterSoft]

I updated to the newest version of BlitzMax (on Github) and tried to rebuild RtMidi.Mod. A lot of similar error messages came:

continues endless!

I think Ron has already a solution. He changed something in the Glue.Cpp

It looks like the wrapper for the extern RtMidi-SDK is now part of the Audio.Mod and the RTMidi.mod is now absolete. I found Audio.Midi.mod in the new release and in its ModulInfo I can see that this Midi-Wrapper is already updated to the extern RtMidi-SDK Version 5.0.0
