DebianSlug Arm package

[nivlacckw]

Hi,

Is it possible to have both arm.deb(little-endian) and armeb.deb(big-endian) style Debian package in the future?

regards,
Nivlacckw

I don’t have a build machine for the one. I’ll look around to see how hard it will be to do a cross setup.

Hi, Ron,
I am using the firefly media server, and I am happy with it. I compiled it from the Tarball on the debian/arm installation on the Slug, but there is the question how to get the oggdec compiled with the Tremor libraries. I am getting a little bit confused with all of these, and before trying to do patch oggdec myself, you might now somebody that did already do this, somebody with more experience than me.
Thanks.

I just have enough knowledge to bang on it until it works, but here’s the foolish patch I made for it:

http://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/optware/trunk/sources/ivorbis-tools/oggdec-tremor.patch

You’ll need to vorbisidec libraries as well, I’m using this:

http://nslu.sourceforge.net/downloads/libvorbisidec-cvs-20050221.tar.gz

I haven´t said yet that thanks to you I got this working.

Well, I said it now. Thanks.

De nada. Enjoy.

I got these now, but I spend yesterday fruitlessly searching for the ivorbis-tools source, that apparently is needed for the patch anyway. I find it stupid of me that so many people could recompile oggdec with it, and apparently have the ivorbis-tolls source lying around somewhere, while I still have no clue whatsoever where to look.

Sorry, it must be obvious, but I don’t see it. Googling around, sniffing, trying, guessing, howling…
Where on earth is the source for ivorbis-tools???? 😳

There isn’t any such thing as ivorbis-tools. It isn’t a package or a piece of software or anything. It’s a hacked version of vorbis-tools that uses “tremor”, the integer decoder for ogg.

So ivorbis-tools is the regular vorbis-tools package:

http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/vorbis/vorbis-tools-1.1.1.tar.gz

Plus a patch to allow using the integer decoder, and the tremor sources themselves (which are referenced further in the post).

And you will also have to check the patch up whether it does a byteswap.

I did the same ivorbis-tool patch and compile for my debian-Etch LE and these were the gotchas:

1. The patch only works against the old ivorbis snapshot as posted here. Not against an actual ivorbis snapshot. So forget the 1.1.1 version and download the old 2005er snapshot from this side.

2. The patch is IMHO (or was when I did it) for the big endian distri and has a manual byteswap in it, which will turn your music to garbage if used on a LE distribution. I manually edited the byteswap out and then recompiled. Worked perfect then.

---

Agenda:
1. Unpack the old ivorbis-tools snapshot
2. Run Rons patch over it
3. It only patches 2-3 files. Check these for a comment “byteswap” or similar and remove the lines after the comment.
4. Do the usual ./configure && make && make install. Voila.

Ok, thanx, now I’m getting somewhere. This looks like a cookbook.
But it is missing some ingedrients, I must say. Talking about older than vorbis-tools-1.1.1.tar.gz: on http://downloads.xiph.org, there is only a vorbis-tools-1.0.1 and no 1.0 anymore. So I googled around and found that somewhere. It dates from 2002, not 2005.
Then I applied the patch. That succeeded after entering 5 correct names. Only the dates did not match.
I found ‘byteswap’ only in oggdec.c and commented it out.
Then I compiled libvorbisidec. Second I compiled vorbis-tools-1.0. Both with –prefix=/opt
It failed with: /opt/lib/libvorbis.so: undefined reference to `lrint’

I tried several other options, but I eventually got stuck on this lrint.
I have both libvorbis and libvorbisidec installed, maybe that’s wrong?
It’s a pity that xaviour is not looking here anymore. he has a Asus WL-700gE like me and could recompile oggdec succesfully.
So somewhere is lurking a solution…

I hope you see it…
