[PD] getting readanysf~ running (was: How to access audio files from disk randomly?)

[august]

I just now have a fresh install of Karmic.

Since there is no libgmerlin_avdec-dev  package for ubuntu, I have
decided to install it all from source.  I don't want a mix of packaged
and unpackaged software.    Also, you only need  gavl and
gmerlin_avdecoder.  You do not need Gmerlin.

gavl is very easy to install.

for gmerlin_avdecoder source, install these first:

sudo apt-get install libz-dev
sudo apt-get install libavcodec-dev libswscale-dev
sudo apt-get install libavformat-dev libpostproc-dev libspeex-dev
sudo apt-get install libmjpegtools-dev   libtheora-dev libvorbis-dev 
sudo apt-get install libschroedinger-dev  libfaad-dev libflac-dev
sudo apt-get install libtiff4-dev libopenjpeg-dev  liba52-dev 
sudo apt-get install libmad0-dev  libdvdread-dev libcdio-dev
sudo apt-get install libmpeg2-4-dev libmpcdec-dev

(do not install libdca-dev)


then, get the gmerlin_avdecoder source.  I prefer from CVS, but you can
also download the tar.gz package.

then ./configure
then make
then make install


make sure to do:  sudo ldconfig

then get readanysf with:
wget http://aug.ment.org/software/readanysf~0.36.tar.gz

untar it, cd into readanysf, and do "make"

now you should have it.   (I just did that from a clean Ubuntu Karmic
install)


sorry its not easier, but packaging software is very unrewarding and
time consuming.  

best -august.
