Hi,
I'm sorry readanysf~ is somewhat difficult to install.
Actually, compiling [readanysf~] is dead-easy. It's only it's dependencies, that can be tricky. However, if you _know_ that you
need to first install some libraries for compiling gmerlin-avdecoder, then this is easy as well.If anyone interested, I made my first debian package: http://www.romanhaefeli.net/software/pd/pd-readanysf_0.36-1_i386.deb
It depends on libgmerlin-avdec1 from this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~fabricesp/+archive/ppa/+packages
It only supports ubuntu 9.10 on i386. Also there seem to be issues
with the gmerlin-avdecoder version shipped from the above PPA (as mentioned by August in a previous post). However, I thought I better post it anyway. It worked for me on Ubuntu 9.10 live-CD.That's great Roman! I have also been working on packaging, with the
aim of getting things into Debian. Then they'll go into Ubuntu too.
We should try to get a Debian Developer to sponsor the gmerlin stuff
so that it gets included. Its used by Gem too.
It certainly would be great, if it could make into Debian. However, that seems to be a trickier thing to do than what I did yesterday (readanysf also has only one author) and most likely it requires more expertise to get everything right. I would be glad to be of any help here, though I think I rather start with proper packages in Launchpad, since that seems more realistic and I also wouldn't want to step on someones toes, who already started working on it. The first goal would be to have working and up-to-date packages of gmerlin-avdecoder and readanysf~ in launchpad. This hopefully would already ease the installation of it a lot.
FYI, here are the libdirs that I have packaged and built using
launchpad. Also, you can easily make builds for old distros with
launchpad as well, like Jaunty, etc. http://launchpad.net/~eighthave/+archive/libdirs/+packages
Very nice!
