I’ve finished the first release of Zynx for Linux. Could somebody please
confirm that it works and I haven’t broken any cultural taboos? The link is
http://rainerdeyke.com/zynx/Zynxl.zip for the file,
http://rainerdeyke.com/zynx for the Zynx home page.–

Ugh! A zip file, and it pukes its contents right into cwd. Now that’s bad.
Make a .tar.gz that extracts into e.g. zynx-1.0 and call it zynx-1.0.tar.gz
Executables are lower case by convention. Ignoring SIGINT is considered
rude. Especially if your app has taken over the screen.
Well, since your app is commercial, I understand that you don’t hand
out the source. This will reduce the amount of Linux users though.
Btw. ldd says your app links to esd, rpm -qi tells me that esd is GPL.
Are you violating the GPL now or is this just the helix rpm that
is wrong?

Ditto.

Debian’s esound copyright file states:
| The software in this package falls into several categories, and is
| licensed under either the Gnu GPL or Gnu LGPL as appropriate:
|
| The Enlightened Sound Daemon (esd) - GPL
| The Enlightened Sound Daemon Client Library (libesd.so, libesd.a) -
| LGPL
| The ESD-DSP wrapper script and support library (esddsp, libesddsp.so) -
| LGPL
| The Example programs and command line utilities - LGPL
So it seems like he’s ok, but IANAL.
Also you link against libstdc+±lib6.1-1.so.2, I have
libc+±libc6.1-2.so.3, linking to the requested name seems to work, but
I don’t know what other problems there could be with different sonames
at work. So, might possibly need to be relinked, or some comment made
in the readme about it.
I really wish people would use the version numbering in so files
correctly. (not your fault Rainer, just a pet peeve)–

This I can do.

Lower case I can do. However, I have only the vaguest idea of what SIGINT
is and how it works. I thought SDL was supposed to take care of platform
specific details like that?
Well, since your app is commercial, I understand that you don’t hand

I understand and accept this.

I am not knowningly violating any license. What is esd?–

Oh, right. SDL does catch SIGINT for you. But what you should do,
is look for SDL_QUIT events. When you receive one, exit the application.
This way the user can cleanly exit your application from a remote
terminal for example.
