Bugzilla Bug 87870

projectm allows Winamp's Milkdrop visualizations to be used by libvisual
(amaroK) and xmms. In the past it required its own version of SDL 1.3, making
it inappropriate for Gentoo. However, in 0.96 it has dropped this prerequesite. 

There would be a USE flags for libvisual and xmms support, as they are
seperate.

It does some weird things like install the 'presets' (what it calls the
different visualizations) into /etc.

I'd suggest a USE flag for libvisual-plugins to be added, so as to direct users
to these funky visualizations (not sure on policy about this).

Reproducible: Always

projectm-0.96.ebuild

As requested, ebuild for projectm-0.96 -- works for building libvisual plugin,
but fails to compile xmms plugin.  I believe the bug resides in
src/projectM/common.h on lines 57-59:

#ifndef USE_XMMS
typedef short gint16;
#endif /** !USE_XMMS */

I don't think USE_XMMS is being defined when building xmms-projectM, but I
don't have any experience with automake/autoconf so I can't fix this.  Maybe
someone else could help here?  Anyway, here's the ebuild.

makeinstall.patch

Patch file to make the "make install" portion of projectM's Makefiles play
nicely with portage

The ebuild worked great with 0.96 but not 0.97. Either way projectm dosn't show
up for beep-media-player. Any thoughts?

Hmm now that I look closer, projectM isn't showing up for xmms either. I also
foudn a bunch of permission Denied errors with all the chmod/chowns for the
install. I am using the makefile patch listed above. Problem exists with 0.96
and 0.97 on my system. Am using libvisual 0.2.0 and beep-media-player 0.9.7-r4.

Added a patch for Makefile.in (just for xmms)

I appended a patch for Makefile.in into makeinstall.patch, as Makefile.in is
the file that actually creats Makefile (and this makes emerge happy, ie, not
die).

I revisted the ebuild using the makeinstall-xmms patch and built with the
libvisual use-flag, but beep-media-player will not pickup the projectM actor
with bmp-libvisual. Although bmp-libvisual works fine rendering the normal actors.

Update: the ebuild works great with xmms, very groovey.

Just tested the ebuild with the makeinstall-xmms patch and it works with the
new
projectM-0.97.

builds fine on my amd64 using libvisual -- thanks

projectm-0.97_p5.ebuild

Update for 0.97, which has strangely named tarballs...
I haven't tested xmms functionality because I don't use xmms.
But there's a small change to fix the compilation of the libvisual actor.

makeinstall.patch

Don't install stuff into /etc/projectM/presets with mode 777...

Latest works awesome like in xmms, still get the usual stuff in
beep-media-player with libvisuals, no full projectm there.

For me, the libvisual actor works without any problems in amaroK.
Can somebody else confirm?  (Maybe a problem with beep-media-player?)

Works for me (amarok + libvisual). Not sure about Beep -- not using it, cannot 
test. 

Amazingly works for me!
Gentoo amd64
Amarok 1.3.6
using projectm-0.97_p5.ebuild with libvisual USE flag
I had to manually fetch projectM-0.97.5.tar.gz from
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/xmms-projectm/projectM-0.97.5.tar.gz?download
and put it in the distfiles dir because gentoo mirrors didn't have this(?)

Then I downloaded makeinstall.patch (2005-10-30 13:00 PST) and put it in:

/usr/local/portage/media-plugins/projectm/files/makeinstall.patch

Only then digesting and emerging successfully completed.

xmms-projectm-0.98 GL_CFLAGS patch

Seems like the structure of the projectM package changed greatly from 0.97 to
0.98 and most of the issues the earlier ebuilds had to address are no longer
present.  Only issue I had was with @GL_CFLAGS@ not being resolved and breaking
the build at the compile stage, so I patched it to remove that variable from
Makefile.in and it works for me on x86 with xmms-1.2.10.  This was my first
attempt at an ebuild, though, so it may not work for you :-P

libvisual-projectM-0.98 wants >=libvisual-0.40 (bug #131733).
I'll try it later when I have time.

libvisual 0.2 and 0.4 are incompatible (and should be installed in parallel in
different slots - see my comment on bug #131733).

libprojectm-0.98 fails to build on amd64 when linking against ftgl-2.1.2 (which
only builds libftgl.a). It does build fine when using ftgl-2.1.2-r1 (wich does
build libftgl.so*).

ebuild for libprojectm-0.99

(From update of attachment 93646 [edit])
The ebuild for libprojectm-0.99. I had to edit libprojectm-0.98.ebuild a bit to
get v0.99 working on amd64.

Here's the ebuild for xmms-projectm-0.99. Had to do minimal editing to
xmms-projectm-0.98.ebuild to get it working on amd64.

cleaned the ebuild up a bit, works with libprojectm-0.99 source code.

libprojectm-0.99.ebuild

Sorry for the attachment spam. Just wanted to fix DEPEND/RDEPEND. DEPEND is the
list of packages needed for the building of the main package. RDEPEND is the
list of packages that will be ran by the main package (read: run-time
dependencies). Also RDEPEND defaults to DEPEND, if not specified. The ebuild
howto also warns against stting DEPEND to RDEPEND.

xmms-projectm-0.99.ebuild

Same thing with libprojectm-0.99's DEPEND/RDEPEND. Seeing as xmms-projectm-0.99
is now a xmms plugin we should always have xmms in DEPEND.

This is the libvisual actor for projectM. I believe this is not the same as the
xmms plugin.

Works great with amarok-1.4.2...

Thanks to everyone, projectm and libvisual-projectm are now in portage. The
xmms plugin is obviously not committed.
