9 Outstanding music/guitar teaching app. Excellent programming skills are evident.
So fftw is not nedded anymore?
FFTW is still necessary (maybe even more than before :-) )
Here is a part of Arch pkg arch=('i686' 'x86_64') url="http://${_pkgname}.sourceforge.net/" license=('GPL') depends=('qt4' 'fftw' 'shared-mime-info' 'libvorbis') if [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ]; then depends[${#depends[@]}]=soundtouch elif [ "$CARCH" = "i686" ]; then depends[${#depends[@]}]=lib32-soundtouch fi optdepends=('jack: for Jack Audio Connection Kit support' 'libpulse: for PulseAudio') makedepends=('mercurial' 'cmake' 'qt4' 'fftw' 'libvorbis' 'soundtouch') install="${pkgname}.install" When user will have libpulse it builds with it. The same with jack.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks, just discovered this!
Package for Mageia 2 64bit http://mageia-gr.org/rpm/2/x86_64/nootka-0.8.0-1mgr2.x86_64.rpm
Thanks a lot !! I will push it to download site. How do You think, will it work with others 64bit rpm-s distros ?
Probably in fedora. In Mandriva i don't know because they use rpm5 (instead rpm.org that use mageia and fedora) I used this spec: http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/nootka/current/SPECS/nootka.spec?revision=280846&view=markup normaly it will be included in the official repos of Mageia for the next version Mageia 3.
There is posibility to build 'universal' rpm but unfortinately I didn't put description in README. If You invoke cpack -G RPM in build directory after compilation, You will get nootka's binary rpm, but as I understand, it is not pure distro way. However You can have a look to nootka's sources, in packaging/rpm/nootka.spec.in there is template for this rpm. Can You generate such rpm also, I will complete downloads. It's great that nootka is going to be in official Mageia repositories. Maybe I will be ready with next stable release to that time. Greetings!
I am not sure but i think that this rpm may be installed correctly in many rpm distro, as the files that installs are in "standard" paths. The problem is that i don't know other distro's packages policy and i cannot be sure for installation in other distros
Hi, i added this software to the Chakra Community Repository (CCR) [http://chakra-linux.org/ccr/packages.php?ID=2967]
