current error message downloading SDL from CVS:
#!/bin/sh
PLACE=":pserver:guest at libsdl.org:/home/sdlweb/libsdl.org/cvs"
echo passwd is "guest"
cvs -d $PLACE login
cvs -z3 -d $PLACE co SDL12
cvs [update aborted]: recv() from server libsdl.org: Connection reset by
peer
also with artsd I’m getting a lot of pauses in sound (or more precisely no
sound). But if I run the SDL app with "artsdsp -m " it works fine.
oh wait… error message familiar… from past message.
Now grunging through. Suspect broken artsd libs…
hold on…
command:
SDL_AUDIODRIVER=artsc
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libartsflow.so plaympeg
output:
mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding
Warning: Couldn’t init SDL audio: No available audio device
Will ignore audio stream
that got rid of this error:
plaympeg: relocation error: /usr/lib/libmcop.so.0: undefined symbol:
internalFreeAll__Q24Arts14StartupManager
so I’m thinking that some versions of arts programs require linking with
libartsflow.so
This still didn’t solve the no sound issue, but it’s a step closer. umm
this is definitely a bug in artsc…
No idea what’s going on here but I haven’t grunged through much yet.
Using debian-unstable download as of last Sunday… and other arts-based
programs work fine.
G’day, eh?
