Re: [gcmd-dev] media libraries

 :) ok i have now

  Exif support   : yes
  IPTC support   : yes
  ID3 support    : yes
  Vorbis support : yes
  APE support    : yes
  FLAC support   : yes
  OLE2 support   : yes
  ODF support    : yes
  PDF support    : yes

'taglib' is 'libtag' in Debian (which makes sense).

Just a sidenote:

Now and then, something disappears while i do some upgrades, and autogen.sh 
barfs about stuff like 
"testing glib-gettextize... not found.". 

This time i could the heck not find glib-gettext. I knew the related package is 
called completely differently by Debain, i just forgot how it's called...

I had gettext, gettext-base and liblocale-gettext. Other available packages 
with similar name are  libgettextpo-dev, libgettextpo0, libtextttols-dev but 
that's apparently not helpful.

Then by using 'ldd' i found that i've also no libgnome2-dev, and after i 
installed that, glib-gettext was satisfied.

Here's my checdep script once again which can help identifying missing libs in 
a Debian based system. It spits out a list of possible candidats.

#!/bin/sh
#
# Version: 2006-12-10 'fanatic scissor'
#
# checkdep [<path-to-application-bin>]
#
# Looks up shared library dependencies of a binary with ldd 
# and compare them to installed packages. 
# 'One letter libs' like libc, libm, libz are NOT considered.
# Output: FOUND ldd lib name -> search term -> installed package
# Status indicators: NO MATCHing package | NO DEVelopement version
# The script should be sourced ('. checdep') to work correctly.

echo -n "Processing: "; ls -1 $program_bin || return   
echo "Please wait."

ldd $program_bin | awk '{print $1}' | grep '^lib' | grep -v 'lib.\.so\.' \

    packagenames=`find $PACKAGEDIR/$lib* -maxdepth 0 -printf '%f ' 2>/dev/null`

    if [ -z "$packagenames" ]; then echo "NO MATCH: $lib_so"
        
    else

        for package in $packagenames; do
            echo -e "FOUND: $lib_so\t -> $lib\t-> $package"
        done
