Smpeg on Mac OS X

SDL Development
1

Hi all,
I was really hoping that someone had put together a smpeg.Framework
for Mac OS X, but alas I could not find one. If I were to attempt this
task on my own, where would I start? I’m new to Mac OS X and my C/C++ is
very rusty so all hints/tips welcome.

If there is another cross-platform alternative to smpeg to play mp3
files on Mac OS X, Win32 and Linux, that is also in Framework order,
then I would love to hear about it.

Thanks,

Dominique.

Maybe ‘ffmpeg’ is what you’re looking for? See here
(Documentation) for some information,
there’s even an ffmpeg and SDL tutorial in that page. I’m not quite sure
that ffmpeg can decode mp3 (I know it does support a hefty number of
audio codecs), but I’d surprised if it didn’t. Hope this helps.

I haven’t touched smpeg in a few years, but we did have a framework
going at one point. Look for an Xcode project in the source. It will
build a framework. I think the last update was to support Universal
Binaries.

OK, this is the original post. I should really read things in order.

If your game is GPL, libmad is an excellent way to play mp3s. If you
download Aleph One for Mac OS X and Show Package Contents you can get
a universal binary Framework:

http://marathon.sourceforge.net/

And if you download the source code, the project file to build it is
included.

I keep meaning to make these Frameworks (libmad, speex, libsndfile,
also SMPEG, vorbis and ogg from E. Wing) available on my web site
separately for people who want them, but I guess I haven’t done so yet.

If your game can not be GPL, there is also an SMPEG Framework in
there, as mentioned in my previous post.

If you are just using SDL_mixer, I think we might already compile in
smpeg support into it, so it doesn’t really matter. We built an smpeg
static library which I think gets built into our SDL_mixer
distribution.

Yes that did the trick. I now have sound! Woohoo! Thanks again for all
your help.

I have to imagine this project file I have for a universal binary
SMPEG framework came from you:

http://www.treellama.org/smpeg-xcode-universal.tar.gz
(extracted from Aleph One’s libraries sources tarball)

It would be great if someone could commit this to the official smpeg
branch just in case it’s needed at a later date.
