sbagen 64bit SOLVED

[666philb]

i would like to add vovchiks zensound to bionipups repo http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=72289
it includes a 32bit sbagen and so it will need replacing with a 64bit sbagen.

i've had a few goes compiling it but failed.

sbagen is here http://uazu.net/sbagen/
and some clues for compiling it are here .....

Hello Phil,

I don't have 64bit Bionic Pup to hand. I took a look at this and was messing about in Xenial 64bit for some time and couldn't get it to compile. I did substitute the 64bit static libraries for ogg and mp3 support and I think that part was all done correctly but the build of the sbagen executable gave errors.

As a bit of an experiment I decided to try in Slacko64 6.3.0 as I had a live CD of that in my drawer and to my surprise the executable compiled. I ran a couple of the suggested invocations and it seemed to be working. I then tried this executable in Xenial64 and the same couple of quick tests seemed OK.

I am attaching a .pet of the executable binary in case it is of any use.
Now removed, no longer needed.

Thankyou OscarTalks!

However i discovered a problem with that version of sbagen, that is it's oss only, no alsa. It does work but needs alsa-oss and also needed a symlink /dev/dsp1 > /dev/dsp.

I discovered this though https://github.com/jave/sbagen-alsa and following your lead installed slacko 64 and compiled it there.
vovchiks zensound also had this https://github.com/manuel-arguelles/drg2sbg which compiled fine.

zensound-0.2b_x86_64.pet now uploaded to bionicpups repo, although it should work on most 64bit pups https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/p ... x86_64.pet

thanks again
