Hi,
I was looking for readanysf~, and found your site. Unfortunately I couldn't built it myself, the make instructions didn't work, and these libraries don't exist for jaunty. Do you have a package with a jaunty binary?
Since it is dependent on gavl and gmerlin-avdecoder, one would also have to maintain packages of those before it makes sense to package [readanysf~] as a deb package.
Hurrah, there is actually already a PPA for gmerlin-avdecoder and gavl, thanks to Fabrice Coutadeur:
https://launchpad.net/~fabricesp/+archive/ppa
I just tested to quickly make Pd-devel-0.43 and readanysf~ run from a ubuntu 9.10 live-cd and everything worked (almost) flawlessly.
Here (again!) another, hopefully easier howto:
add the sources from the PPA above to your /etc/apt/sources.list
install gmerlin-avdecoder (this will automatically install gavl):
$ sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install libgmerlin-avdec-dev
- download the sources of readanysf~ from:
http://aug.ment.org/readanysf/download.php and extract them from the archive.
- Now why I said '(almost) flawlessly': readanysf~'s Makefile expects
the headers of gmerlin-avdecoder to be in /usr/local/include. Since we installed it from the repository, we need to edit the Makefile (for instance with gedit). Change this line:
GAVLPATH=/usr/local/include
to
GAVLPATH=/usr/include
If you have Pd also installed from the repository, apply the same change to the next line:
PDPATH=/usr/local/include
to
PDPATH=/usr/include
Now run 'make' in <path-to>/readanysf~0.36 to build [readanysf~]
To finally install the external, I usually do (from the same
directory): $ sudo mkdir /usr/lib/pd/extra/readanysf~ $ sudo cp readanysf~.pd_linux /usr/lib/pd/extra/readanysf~/ $ sudo cp readanysf~-help.pd /usr/lib/pd/extra/readanysf~/
This worked for me. I hope it does for you as well.
