Bug 47641 – media-plugins/vlevel-0.5 -> new ebuild

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stefan Briesenick (RETIRED) 2004-04-12 15:31:14 UTC]

VLevel keeps your music from making you jump out of your seat, and it keeps you from having to fiddle with the volume constantly. It's different from other dynamic compressors because it looks ahead. You can think of VLevel as someone who knows your music by heart, and turns the volume up during quiet passages, but smoothly turns it back down when he knows a loud part is coming. It's great for making CDs to listen to in your car, or to play background music on your computer.

VLevel is currently a LADSPA plugin and a command-line filter. You can use it with many Linux audio programs including XMMS, GStreamer, GLAME, GDAM, and others, and you can use it in shell scripts to level your music before burning a CD.

well, I just added some "|| die"'s

However, we've got an -fPIC issue, as this ebuild does extend the 
CXXFLAGS directly which seems rather ugly to me as well as I 
*dislike* the Makefile style, I'd rather completely rewrite it to 
use libtool/automake/autoconf instead, however, I'm not the source 
maintainer of this tool, so, lets see what the time of this mentioned 
user brings next time (maybe he will write it him/herself).

compiles and installs well. didn't run it so far.

1. the -fpic thingy *is* ugly, but I didn't found a better solution :-/
2. what does "compiles and installs well. didn't run it so far" mean?

it compiles *and* runs very well here on my system. Both, the command-line tool and the ladspa-plugin.

[Comment 8 Christian Parpart (RETIRED) 2004-09-22 01:51:05 UTC]

(1) a solution for -fPIC would be to use libtool instead.
libtool intends to make software libraries as platform independant
as possible, and though, it takes care of -fPIC as well.

(2) I tested the ebuild by emerging it, that's what I meant with 
this. But I couldn't run it useful, since I do have no use for 
this, too ;-)

Greets,
Christian Parpart.
