MacDome: got a question for ya

sure.

I installed dev tools once again to get clean tools

ok

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...

considered fink?

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...

my luck has varied

anyway, installing into /usr/local fails

I can't build my programs.

but it's in your path?

yes, /usr/local/bin is the first thing.

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.

I would too, but my progs depend on a more recent version and Apple hasn't gotten there yet.

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...

:-)

Ok, I think I'll try fink again. Thanks

best of luck. If that doesn't work I'd love to know.

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.

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

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.

I'll be a lot more familiar with this all in another month or so..

what version do you need?

I forget. I'm just installing the latest and greatest.

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

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?

do you have a particular barf message?

oops. I forgot to reset my path.

It does work. :-)

I need to go merge the darwin_port branch

ok

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?

emailed.

thx

rob at eorbit, right?

ya

msg Rotty you around?

damn :-)

haha

thanks MacDome -- Its a build system problem.

Thank heavens -- I can figure that shit out. :-)

cool, I fixed the build problem.

ruaok: if I want to make an app MB aware, should I use the existing client library or wait for tunepimp?

wait for tunepimp.

cool

I'll have time for tp this week.

I know you've heard that before.

And I'm sorry for slacking on that.

you have other shit to do, don't worry about it

I will finish it before I go to Japan.

cool

At least finish it so I can toss it into your court. :-)

right

I have the beginings of my Qt linux music manager app working

what is tunepimp?

sweet.

tunepimp is a tagger encapsulation library

abstracts all the trm and tag reading and writing.

next step is some gui improvements and getting it to work with MB

Makes writing a tagger a snap.

is the new server live yet?

yup.

are you on the mailing list?

'twas announced this sat.

im on it

I musta missed that email

The servers are noq quiet and happy.

now

what kind of load do you think they can handle now?

That is hard to say without empirical testing.

2-3 times the load is a safe bet though.

phidauex: you around?

it would be cool if we could get mentioned on /. again just to increase the load and find out

hahah

MacDome: can you please check out mb_client and build it?

Not the darwin_port branch -- check out HEAD

It should work without modifications now.

phidauex: Please do the same when you wake up.

ok, I gotta go. back later.

we should add MB speficic stuff to id3 v2 tags

kyleboon is now known as kyleboon|sleep

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. :-)

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.

hey

I created a new account (on test) for user mb

Hi

I figured we'd use that account to run the staging server from.

OK. Cool. How's the tagger?

what is the best way to give that new user privs to access the database?

I've never had to deal with PG perms before.

tagger is lagging. :-)

The macheads got to me first....

If you use the new InitDB.pl, then it should create a new Pg user

that user will own the database,

DUH!

Right.

thus have all the perms required.

Forgot about thet nicetly.

Lemme blow the current db away.

Grr. perms are still off.

Does InitDb.pl need to run as root to get that right?

On the DB? Lemme check...

No, it just needs the "postgres" user to exist.

Which of course it always will.

crap.

User mb still has no right to access the tables.
