Well, in two months ago it built just fine (I already had gcc-4.3 then), I 
assumed the ebuild did some patching of the original source to make it 
build. But maybe it's that other things changed which transkode depends 
on. But I could not find any bug report about this, so I'm wondering. And 
I really liked the utility.

 I've used SoundKonverter¹ for this task in the past. It is also not
 available as a KDE3 app anymore, but lives on in KDE4.

This looks good, and I see I already have it installed.

Alas, it does no work at all. The proceed button does nothing. Hm, when 
starting it again, it suddenly works. But whatever audio file I select, 
its file type is unknown to soundKonverter. The settings dialog shows no 
backends at all. Well, maybe an older version than 1.0.0_alpha1 works, I 
will give this a try.

Thanks,

[gentoo-user] transkode is gone

2010-01-22 Thread Alex Schuster
Hi there!

media-sound/transkode [*] was a nice KDE3 application for converting 
various audio formats into others. It's gone now, and no, it's not in the 
kde-sunset overlay. I cannot even find any information on why it was 
removed.
Building it manually does not work at all with gcc-4.3, and with lower 
versions I get somewhat further, but building does not finish, too.

Any ideas why it's gone? Or where to look to find this out?
