This is related to bug 250650, the ebuild from which didn't quite work on my system. Amazonmp3 demanded symlinks to a few more libraries. I added a dependency on net-misc/amazonmp3-libcompat, since this basically won't work without it. net-misc/amazonmp3-libcompat I modified so that it simply used the rpm directly from Fedora (OK renamed with amazonmp3- prefix) rather than having to create a package of one's own. Also added dependency for sys-libs/libstdc++-v3 since amazonmp3 seems to require libstdc++.so.6.

Created attachment 201159 [details] Modified ebuild for amazonmp3-libcompat (from local overlay) Modified libcompat ebuild. Sorry, removed amd64 from this as I don't have an instance on which to test it.
Good work. A pity this doesn't work on amd64 yet.. You have to do some changes within amazonmp3-libcompat, but I guess you already know. First I had to download boost-1.34.1-13.fc9.i386.rpm, then I had to run rpm2targz on it, then I had to edit line 13 (SRC_URI) cutting out "amazonmp3-" and make the filename end with .tar.gz instead of .rpm, and then set S="boost-${BOOST_VERSION}.tar.gz" in line 32, and in line 35 change unpack to "unpack ${S}". the src_install function I edited to look like this to keep out hardcoded paths and sandbox issues: src_install() { local OPTDIR="/opt/${PN}" # The amazonmp3 binary, compiled for Fedora 9, needs boost-1.34, so we $ # set of the libs, ripped right out of their boost-1.34.1-13.fc9.i386.r$ mkdir -p "${D}${OPTDIR}" mv ${WORKDIR}/usr/lib/* "${D}${OPTDIR}" echo "LDPATH=\"${OPTDIR}\"" > 99amazonmp3-libcompat doenvd 99amazonmp3-libcompat } And, should you really make a env.d file for this? Won't the 1.34 libboost become global if you do that? I think it would be better with a wrapper script which changes LDPATH instead of a global LD-variable..
Nice, can't we get this ebuild in the tree? There is no way to download mp3 albums from amazon right now. Greetings

Sadly not, as I'm a bit (read: very) new at ebuild creation and haven't yet learned all the pit-falls. On my system, calling rpm2targz and extracting that didn't work very well, while rpm_unpack worked directly. I'll try again, though. I didn't know whether it was fair/a good idea to wget the FC9 package directly from Fedora's servers, especially as it may disappear at some point in the future and as I'd have to hard-code the mirror. > And, should you really make a env.d file for this?

Many thanks for the feedback and advice.
Using `readelf -d amazonmp3`, we have these libs to do also for x86-64 (there are currently no emul-linux-x86 packages unfortunately right now). We are missing the following files for emul-linux-x86: 0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libglademm-2.4.so.1] 0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libgtkmm-2.4.so.1] 0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libglade-2.0.so.0] 0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libgiomm-2.4.so.1] 0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libgdkmm-2.4.so.1] 0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libatkmm-1.6.so.1] 0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libpangomm-1.4.so.1] 0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libcairomm-1.0.so.1] 0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libglibmm-2.4.so.1] 0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libsigc-2.0.so.0] 0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libfreebl3.so] 0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libstdc++.so.6] 0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: Notes: - libstdc++.so.6, we do have libstdc++.so.5 in /usr/lib32 so maybe a symlink is possible provided they are ABI compatible (buggy probably); I would suggest putting libstdc++.so.6 in the new LDPATH set at runtime - libfreebl3.so (32-bit) is included with seamonkey-bin, maybe this copy is compatible? So glad to get past the Boost issue.

You are beginning to see why I gave up on amd64 support... It can be done, but it's messy. If amazon released a static binary, things would be so much nicer ;) The good news is that some day "soon" the portage gurus will be adding *true* multilib support to amd64 so that we can just ask for a 32-bit version of gtkmm and portage will do the heavy lifting for us without any sort of emul-x86 packages... Once that's in place this support will be a bit more feasible.
X86-64 just to add. Untar this to /opt/amazonmp3-libcompat http://www.sendspace.com/file/lelxpe . (Uploaded there because limit here is 2 MB.) Might be a bit redundant, but I have gone through and got every lib file necessary all from Fedora mirrors. The only problem is that when I run LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/amazonmp3-libcompat:/usr/lib32" amazonmp3 it does not start only because of this error: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found and it has to do with one of the Boost libs. Even if that gets solved, who knwos what's next? I am moving on from this. I installed Clamz http://code.google.com/p/clamz/ , a command-line alternative that seems to work fine. I am not sure how this will change in the future considering it's free software and Amazon can change their implementation at any time.

I'm also moving on from this and booting net-misc/amazonmp3 from the tree. There are now 2 packages available that are open-source and provide the same function as this binary: net-misc/clamz net-misc/pymazon
