Hi Roman,

I just installed readanysf~ again on my new install of Ubuntu 9.10 and
had no problems. Obviously you need gavl and gmerlin-avdecode. I also
had to install libgmerlin0.
    

Sorry for becoming slightly off-topic, but could you compile
gmerlin-avdecode out-of-the-box on ubuntu 9.10? May i ask which version you
decided?

I get:
i_avdec.c:424: error: unknown field Œhas_still¹ specified in initializer

I just commented out this line in plugins/i_avdec.c and then got similar
errors on other similiar lines, which I also commented out. Finally it
compiled, but i don't know what I have done. I hope not something very bad.

Roman
Just checking through my bash history...

First I installed gavl 1.1.1 - http://sourceforge.net/projects/gmerlin/files/gavl/1.1.1/gavl-1.1.1.tar.gz/download
then texinfo (sudo apt-get install texinfo) as prompted by the ./configure stage of gmerlin 0.4.1
then gmerlin 0.4.1 - http://sourceforge.net/projects/gmerlin/files/gmerlin/0.4.1/gmerlin-0.4.1.tar.gz/download
then gmerlin-avdecoder 1.0.1 - http://sourceforge.net/projects/gmerlin/files/gmerlin-avdecoder/1.0.1/gmerlin-avdecoder-1.0.1.tar.gz/download
finally I compiled readanysf~ 0.36 http://aug.ment.org/software/readanysf~0.36.tar.gz and copied the ,pd_linux file to /usr/lib/pd/extra

I had an error message in the pd console: libgmerlin_avdec.so.1 not found or something, so I installed libgmerlin0 via synaptic and then it worked.

Hope this helps!
