Ok first point...I was testing in puppy 4.12 ram only (512 MB)..still seems barmy. And if you are wanting to make bigger packages sfs is probably better anyway.
On the subject of files this new package has all the header files, a duplicate set of qt4 libs in /opt and only qtcore and gui are needed...that lot should save a few pounds. And I tested without copying in the opengl libs (cause no opengl with 4 on here (yet)) but vlc does not mind...most dependancies are soft and can be left out for those wanting to save space but it's good to start with everything and strip downwards.

Ok seems to be working ok. Skin support is definately not including some skins but is ok for those that are supported.(that's 3 oks)

Dvd was fine using the original dvdnav/read libs in 4..I typed in the device this time.

Got a stream working from shoutcast..yay but no sound giving this complaint..

Code: Select all

 nsv demux debug:     - audio `mp4a'
[00000380] main decoder debug: thread started
[00000400] main decoder debug: looking for decoder module: 22 candidates
[00000400] avcodec decoder debug: refusing to use ffmpeg's (MPEG AAC Audio) decoder which is buggy
odd because it is using the shared avcodec which plays the same streams ok in vlc 0.8.6h

Otherwise this is pretty much a worker...optimise the size and let the world test. As for opengl anyone who has it setup will already have those libraries so as long as the (small)plugin is present the rest could be left out too.
And your qt4 libs are smaller than most..nice one.

regards

mike

ps...no gooooooom!! <-- me is a sad case

as for puppy 2.xx as long as glibc is updated ...now testing 2.6.1..seems happy..(indeed cures some nasty firefox/flash crashes)..and avcodec borrowed from 4.xx . Did try before with an earlier version of 0.9.2 and it fired up.

What about 4...is there a limit before it fails? I am making a large package, it might be ~100Mb is that going to be an issue?

Hmmz, perhaps I should just make it a SFS file, a pet that size might take ages to install anyway :P
Na in 4 series I've made pets over 200MB, lol
It was a issue in 2 series, that they fixed in 3 series, Mike uses 2 series.

I think that skin support has changed since most of those skins were released.

I seem to be having problems in general with mp4a files, which is also the codec used by iPod video files (for the audio portion), of which I have few.  I will see if this can't be rectified.

As for Goom...I will attempt to fix that too, I don't see why it wasn't compiled...

The package manager in puppy 4.12 copies the pet to /root/.packages ..is 4.20 different?....a picture paints.....

yes is odd ..otherwise seems a very solid compilation....need more testers as there is so much functionality in there.

When I made up the 8.6h package, I also didn't have mp4 support, strange, but I then just took a mp4 plugin from a ubuntu version of 8.6h and shot it in the package, and it worked just fine. So I wouldn't worry too much about that, it can be added after.

Thanks :-)

There is a configure switch --enable-goom. :(
Oh well, gives me an excuse to try again.

Got it! Ok I'll bung it up soonish.

Ok. It's smaller now, and compiled with shared libraries.

http://cid-da097326680e08e6.skydrive.li ... 6-i686.pet 21Mb

Hopefully I haven't broken any dependencies, but Goom now works :P The only thing that needs doing, in the preferences, is to set the Video Out as OpenGL. Otherwise Goom borks.

I have put the locales in a seperate file: http://cid-da097326680e08e6.skydrive.li ... s-i686.pet 5Mb

*edit* The V numbers were just so I didn't get too muddled swapping stuff around, they don't signify anything really :P

Bummer. Must have dropped those files whilst juggling pets.

Hopefully that's all that is missing, if so here's those files as a patch/pet: http://cid-da097326680e08e6.skydrive.li ... atch-1.pet

*edit* I omitted all *.la files, for example "libproxy.la" since a) they are massive and b) hopefully they won't be needed.

I just did that to the .vlc also, I removed all the la left over compiling extras. They are only good if your going to compile and use them, non of the ones in the /lib/vlc folder are good for anything, the ones that should be kept and made into another DEV package are the /lib/a and /lib/la and /usr/lib/pkgconfig those are handy for people like myself who compile all the time.
but any la or a in /lib/vlc/ can be deleted.
I made a pet with them removed, plus I stripped all the bin and .so files.
went from 51MB extract to 37MB or 16MB pet, I'll upload it in a bit.

Well that last package did the trick to fill all the missing deps, but dvdnav doesn't work, every-time I try a dvd it crashes.

No email notifications......

anyway have you checked with ldd the dvd nav and read libs ?
dbus enabled now?
This is working 100% on puppy 4.12 with the original libraries.
Actually I didn't try the included ones....hmmm ... but did from the original 4.5mb compile

Goom and opengl ...another oddity...will be testing later..my desires are small and trippy man....

The libraries are there...they just don't work :P
As for dbus...it doesn't come with puppy, and putting it on puppy might break the lot unless it is set up properly.

I am recompiling the entire thing on a clean puppy with just the required deps since it seems I have a bit of a mess on my previous VLC compiling puppy.

I will prevail!

Take your time, It took me days the first time comiling it, well bootstrap wasn't working right so I had to compile like 40+ packages and organize that, lol

Yep. Some of the patches cause the script to bail out:-(

Still I am making progress, so hopefully it won't be too long.

a bit of a mess
hey your first attempt was like 95% working.....hardly a mess.
And you are still compiling faster than us testers :D (well tis someones birthday here today)
anyway have you checked with ldd the dvd nav and read libs ?
was @ttuuxxx as testing on a different version.
and I noticed dbus enabled listed in the output of the last one I tested.
My ability to confuse others and myself is legendary...
