Re: Thumbs up for Zinf in Solaris 8 on SPARC architecture

CD playback isn't all that interesting to me, I hope it will be easy to disable. Anyway, please try to write portable code. :) I hope you are not intending to turn Zinf over to be a Win32 project mostly? Awesome to get some feedback on other OS's though. :) I'll take a look at these patches and merge them in if all checks out. Thanks.

Anyway, please try to write portable code. :) I hope you are not intending to turn Zinf over to be a Win32 project mostly? God no. haha. But the win32 build is pretty significant since it also requires the most specific code to the OS. The point of the CD playback rewrite is for portability and simply fitting in with the rest of Zinf. the zinf cvs has numerous changes over 2.2.0 and most of them deal with making the code re-usable and less bloated and bugfixes. cdplayback is one of the serious non-portable aspects of zinf ...hopefully the new plugin will change that.

Today I finally had some success. At least it runs without crashing, and I can stream files + play MP3s from disk. With /usr/dt/bin/sdtaudiocontrol, I can select whether I want to use the internal speaker, the internal sound card, or both. It seems stable too! Test setup: * Sun Blade 100 running Solaris 8 10/01 with GNOME 2 beta 1 from www.sun.com/software. * Gcc 3.1, glib 1.2.10, gtk 1.2.10, gdkpixbuf 0.11.0 and freetype 1.3.1 from sunfreeware.com. Packages made: * http://anders.fix.no/solaris/pkg/sol8/sparc32-64/zinf-2.2.0-sol8-sparc64-local.gz * http://anders.fix.no/solaris/pkg/sol8/sparc32-64/musicbrainz-1.1.0-sol8-sparc64-local.gz Patches used: * Attached. Screenshot of player in use: * http://anders.fix.no/test/grab_solaris8+gnome2+zinf.png If there is some interest in Solaris support in the CVS repository, I'll consider trying to maintain it. Thanks for making such a nice sound player - the best opensource one IMHO! Cheers, -- Anders. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.freeamp.org/mailman/listinfo/freeamp-dev
