I installed dev tools once again to get clean tools
MacDome
ok
ruaok
so now I need to install autoconf and automake.
I don't want to install them into /usr since that will clobber the default mac
versions.
phone one sec.
sorry.
so...
MacDome
considered fink?
ruaok
I went to install autoconf and automake into /usr/local as one is supposed to do these tings on a BSD box.
I've really not had much luck with fink yet...
MacDome
my luck has varied
ruaok
anyway, installing into /usr/local fails
I can't build my programs.
MacDome
but it's in your path?
ruaok
yes, /usr/local/bin is the first thing.
MacDome
I guess I just use the default install... or hum... maybe I upgraded them a long time ago... but no, I think I just use automake and autoconf as they ship from apple.
ruaok
I would too, but my progs depend on a more recent version and Apple hasn't gotten there yet.
MacDome
ah... I've had that problem before... don't remember what I did... I think I used fink in that instance. i guess that would be my knee-jurk reaction is to try fink.
after I learn to speak english...
ruaok
:-)
Ok, I think I'll try fink again. Thanks
MacDome
best of luck. If that doesn't work I'd love to know.
ruaok
ok, I'll go tinker some more.
Once I can cross that hurdle I can finally release the mb_client for darwin.
About time too.
MacDome
hum.. fink's version isn't much newer.
I have AC: 2.52 AM 1.6.1 (which is what ships...) fink offers: 2.54, 1.6.3
ruaok
I gotta figure out the proper way to do this without depending on fink or apply.
apple
:-( I tried it again and it barfs all over the place.
MacDome
I'll be a lot more familiar with this all in another month or so..
what version do you need?
ruaok
I forget. I'm just installing the latest and greatest.
MacDome
it's not likely that the autoconf guys test against an OSX box...
so you may have to pull an older one
let me try running bootstap on my machine... or whatever you call the script
ruaok
I know that if I install it into /usr it works great.
nope that doesn't work anymore either.
How in the hell did I get this to work the first time?
MacDome
do you have a particular barf message?
ruaok
oops. I forgot to reset my path.
It does work. :-)
ruaok sighs a big sigh of relief
I need to go merge the darwin_port branch
MacDome
ok
ruaok
crap the merged branch fails on trying to find ar
or it calls the wrong ar
what usage does your /usr/bin/ar print out?
MacDome
emailed.
ruaok
thx
MacDome
rob at eorbit, right?
ruaok
ya
msg Rotty you around?
damn :-)
kyleboon
haha
ruaok
thanks MacDome -- Its a build system problem.
Thank heavens -- I can figure that shit out. :-)
cool, I fixed the build problem.
kyleboon
ruaok: if I want to make an app MB aware, should I use the existing client library or wait for tunepimp?
ruaok
wait for tunepimp.
kyleboon
cool
ruaok
I'll have time for tp this week.
I know you've heard that before.
And I'm sorry for slacking on that.
kyleboon
you have other shit to do, don't worry about it
ruaok
I will finish it before I go to Japan.
kyleboon
cool
ruaok
At least finish it so I can toss it into your court. :-)
kyleboon
right
I have the beginings of my Qt linux music manager app working
MacDome
what is tunepimp?
ruaok
sweet.
tunepimp is a tagger encapsulation library
abstracts all the trm and tag reading and writing.
kyleboon
next step is some gui improvements and getting it to work with MB
ruaok
Makes writing a tagger a snap.
kyleboon
is the new server live yet?
ruaok
yup.
are you on the mailing list?
'twas announced this sat.
kyleboon
im on it
I musta missed that email
ruaok
The servers are noq quiet and happy.
now
kyleboon
what kind of load do you think they can handle now?
ruaok
That is hard to say without empirical testing.
2-3 times the load is a safe bet though.
phidauex: you around?
kyleboon
it would be cool if we could get mentioned on /. again just to increase the load and find out
ruaok
hahah
MacDome: can you please check out mb_client and build it?
we do. we currently add the track id to the Unique File Identifier in the id3v2 tag.
Tomorrow I will add more code to also write the album, artist and trm id to the file.
And then I will post a spec about what tags are named what and how to read the data.
and lets hope you read your backscroll. :-)
phidauex
ruaok:
still around?
what do you want me to do?
ok, i see, checkout and build mb_client
building now
looks like its all working, ruaok :)
one small problem.. with the 'tagger' test application, it will find matching tracks and list them 1. 2. 3. etc, but if you type '1' to choose, it just says "Query failed: No items matched"
but thats probably just a boo boo in the test application, i can sucessfully get trms, get tracks, find albums, lookup cds, et
good stuff, you rock the block party till my hair turns grey.
