Sound Support on Solaris with 21.4.20; Was: [Success with a little effort] XEmacs 21.4.19

Rodney Sparapani wrote: This is a thread from April. Long story short: I created a "hack" to get sound support working on Solaris on 21.4.19. I call it a "hack" because now I think I figured out that it was only dumb luck that it worked and I can share the right way to do it. My Solaris box has ESD and libaudiofile libraries, but nothing else; no headers, pkg-config, etc. I think these came from the package SUNWaudmo, but it is no longer available. If you upgraded from Solaris 8, you may already have it installed. So, I managed to trick configure into believing that everything was ok with: configure '--with-sound=esd' '--native-sound-lib=/usr/local/lib/libao.so' and by adding the following to config.h: #define play_sound_file esd_play_file #define play_sound_data esd_play_stream That hack no longer works for 21.4.20 because, I think, the detection of esd is better (I didn't see that mentioned anywhere in NEWS, but that's my suspicion). So, the right way to do this is to install libaudiofile v. 0.2.6 and ESD v. 0.2.8 (ESDs detection of libaudiofile is squirrelly ?just for Solaris?, so I had to hard-code AUDIOFILE_CONFIG=/usr/local/bin/audiofile-config on line 3293 of configure). Then with the following, everything works: configure '--with-sound=esd' Thanks, Rodney _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
