Is anyone apart from me using gvolwheel ? I'm asking because when I updated my list of current packages I noted that althought it built ok on ppc, it didn't work. But I only noticed that by accident (clicked on the wrong menu entry - sound isn't connected on my ppc box). But a few hours ago I had reason to upload some photos from my camera, and one short video clip, to one of my x86_64 machines. Tried to run gvolwheel to set the audio volume for the video, but nothing happened. Retried with strace, but it still just hangs and there is no obvious error message.
Looking at the packages I built, almost everything was unchanged (these were all LFS-7.4 test runs), but on the x86_64 box where gvolwheel doesn't work I see that I first built cairo-1.12.14 [ without tee ], built gvolwheel after that, then later upgraded to cairo-1.12.16 when firefox failed to compile. On the ppc I used 1.12.16 from the start. This doesn't seem a likely cause of problems, but AFAICS nothing else has changed. I see that gvolwheel _is_ linked to cairo libs, so I suppose I'll have to try swapping versions when I have time. In the meantime, comments from anyone else who has built gvolwheel on recent cairo (particularly answering "does it work ?", with the cairo version) would be welcome. I suppose most people are using that [ expletive deleted ] package called pulse ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
