Since it is dependent on gavl and gmerlin-avdecoder, one would also have to maintain packages of those before it makes sense to package [readanysf~] as a deb package. This would be a lot of work. But yeah, I agree that probably many would benefit from it. (whispering to myself: One more reason to learn how to package stuff in debian) > Don't you want to add readanysf to pd-extendend?

Ideally, every patch created on Pd-extended would work on every Pd-extended installation and including [readanysf~] would break that. But that is only my humble opinion. (However, it's already the case with pdp and probably more). I've been compiling [readanysf~] a few times recently on fresh ubuntu 9.10 installations and I ran as well into troubles. And there also was a thread recently about readanysf-compilation. Here a few things I found that haven't been mentioned before and that are useful to remember when it comes to [readanysf~] installation: * Make sure you don't have packages installed, that conflict with your compiled versions of gmerlin-avdecoder and gavl. To be on the safe side, remove every package with 'gavl' and 'gmerlin' in the name. * Having certain headers not installed makes even the creation of the configure scripts for gmerlin-avdecoder and gavl fail. It's probably easier to just first install some libraries with their headers before trying to configure/compile gavl and gmerlin-avdecoder. * Stick strictly to the instructions from the README of readanysf~. That is how it worked for me last time (on a ubuntu 9.10 base installation): 1. Install some libraries (I decided those, which seemed useful for [readanysf~], probably not all are required for gmerlin-avdecoder compilatio): $ sudo aptitude install libavcodec-dev libpostproc-dev libswscale-dev libavformat-dev libfaac-dev libfaad-dev libflac-dev libschroedinger-dev libspeex-dev liba52-dev libdca-dev libmpcdec-dev libcdio-dev 2. compile and install gavl and gmerlin-avdecoder (in this order) according to the README shipped with readanysf~. 3. compile and install [readanysf~] according to the README Please report back, if and what kind of troubles you still face, so that we can improve that little how-to.
