Re: [blfs-support] libebml download and others

You need to get it from the git hub: > >https://github.com/Matroska-Org/libebml.git I don't recall having any issues building libebml. I downloaded it from http://dl.matroska.org/downloads/libebml and am using version 1.3.0. Checking my build scripts, I did notice I used my own makefile instead of the one provided with the project. The makefile I created was fairly standard though, no special flags or settings. On a related but different subject, has anyone run across any useful lightweight applications that can display webm videos (something more basic than vlc) using libraries like libvpx, libmatroska, libebml, nestegg, etc? I've only been able to find a few really lightweight players so far. There's webm-player which doesn't have sound support: https://github.com/doublec/webm-player There's playvpx, but I haven't found any videos in ivf format to test it with. http://www.philhassey.com/blog/2012/02/02/how-to-create-and-play-ivf-vp8-webm-libvpx-video-in-opengl/ Sincerely, Laura http://www.distasis.com/cpp -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

[lfs-support] Getting a working kernel
Hello, Getting a working kernel the easy way, I use those steps: make mrproper && #cp /boot/config-VERSION .config && #cat /proc/config.gz | gunzip > .config make oldconfig && make localyesconfig && make && make modules_install && make firmware_install (Step 2 or 3 depend on the host.) This way, I'm sure to get all the required drivers compiled in, without needing to go through all the options in a "make menuconfig". Maybe something like this could be suggested in the book? Of course it's entertaining and educational to use "make menuconfig", but sometimes I just want the kernel to work ;) Regards, Thomas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
