x11 amp

please,

-where do i get a working x11-amp from?
-how to install it (except tar -zxvf)?

i downloaded the one from qnxstart.com, but it didn’t work…
on ftp.qnx.org.ru the multimedia-folder link was broken, so i don’t know if there’s one there…

thanks for helping,

First you need gtk graphics libs, you can get these from
the ‘Top Downloads’ part of the qnxstart homepage, they are
listed as GLIB and GTK.

As root, copy this to /
do ‘gunzip glib-gtk-1.2.8-qnxnto-bin.tar.gz’
do ‘tar -xvf glib-gtk-1.2.8-qnxnto-bin.tar’

this will untar directly to the required directories.

Next download X11Amp plugins, unzip and untar as above, but not
in the ‘/’ dir. Make the following directory structure, /usr/nto/x86/usr/local/lib/x11amp, and do ‘cp -R’ to copy the
plugins there.

Lastly gunzip x11amp.gz, put it somewhere in your path(maybe
/usr/bin) and run it.

the name of the file you stated above is the russian one, which seems different from the one qnxstart offers.
i tried both, but x11amp won’t start.

/bin/sh: x11amp: cannot execute - Permission denied

If you do ‘chmod +x <x11amp_full_path>’ it will start. However, the only
output plugin which comes with package on the qnxstart is for OSS. Which
means, it won’t play, because RTP needs ALSA plugin.

igor,
thanks for this information.

so maybe qnxstart.com should put a note to x11amp on their downloadsite, that it’s not possible to do anything with the current x11amp.

x11amp is actually obsolete. I’m looking to port XMMS (successor of
x11amp) which has ALSA plugin.

Well, they say they need thread-safe Xlibs to run. And configure thinks
that RTP xlibs aren’t. Gary, any advice before I waste more time?

It needs UDS too. Is it going to be available soon? Or should I hack it
to use AF_INET instead?

Other then building your own libs? :slight_smile: (I haven’t been through
config/cf/Threads.tmpl and the library code to see what’s needed)

I think someone here got xmms going, I’ll see what
I can find out.

Igor you are quite right. Seems that in-house we are using a
different output plugin. My apologies.

The updated OSS plugin from nexware site appears to work with SB Live,
but not with SB16. Well, I can hear some sound on SB16 but one can
hardly call it ‘music’. It might be problem with SB16 driver though, as
it is known to have problems anyway.

Also, playing on SB Live sound was fine but progress bar and time
reading were jerking back and forth all the way.
