Re: [gmediaserver-devel] Ugly (but working) single day coding TagLib hack

[Jiri Wichern]

Eek I hate gmail putting a message in a 'quoted text' block .... now both messages got scrubbed completely.
For what I wanted to say:

Hi Oskar,

I've made the diff. You have to install taglib first. (I used version 
1.4)
Then ./configure with favorite options and make.
When
the compiler exits at no rule to make taglib_wrapper.o, you can gcc it
by hand in the src directory with: gcc -Wall -g -c -O2 -o
taglib_wrapper.o taglib_wrapper.cpp -I.. -I/usr/??/include/taglib
After that another make will 'make' everything withouth any linking errors.
I've
removed a lot of excess code in comparison with the version in the
maillist. That code was made before I discovered only one instance of
an ID3 struct is used in the program at any one time. I thought I had
to expect multiple ID3 structs - and so, using taglib, multiple
instances of the taglib classes. This code is much simpler and it does
the same job faster/leaner/etc.
Things still to do: -'integrate' compiling taglib_wrapper.o in the makefile -Writing better configure scripts(?)

Regards, Jiri.


Hi Harry,

Thanx for all the enthousiasm. As mentioned in my
previous mail on the newsgroup I've cleaned the code a bit. To be more
precisely: If there are more than three dozen lines of code left it's a
lot.
Because only one id3 tag is read at any particular time in the
program, all the code I made to support multiple taglib class instances
was unnecessary.
I don't know if the diff I sent with the previous mail on the
newsgroup will stick, else I'll send it with a seperate mail to you
tomorrow.

Regards, Jiri.
