I need a resizeable phat knob for my project, jackmixdesk.
Glad you mention
this. Right after posting the same mail three times in
a row. ;)
I want to make my this project available for all
users without
fumbling, so I don't want a dependency on the development package of
phat.
Speaking with my Debian hat on, I suggest you simply specify any
external requirements in the README and trust the distribution to get it
right.
The other approach is to use an embedded copy of phat, but we (Debian)
usually don't like this approach and would probably strip it anyway.
There are pros and cons to embedded copies:
+ known to work
+ easy installation, since self-contained
- increased memory footprint
- additional maintenance overhead (e.g., security fixes)
Phat dev is even uninstallable for gentoo right
now.
Tell them, and they'll fix it. If nobody knows about this, it would
remain broken forever.
Just my €0.02
Really sorry for that triple post. I did not receive my first two mails
back from the list, only a "message rejected" and really really had some
impatience.
I reported the phat problem at Gentoo bugzilla because it's an ebuild
bug afaik, it was closed as invalid and I was told, this is not a
support forum. From the pro-audio list there is no response. Okay wrong
order, list first then bugzilla!
Shouldn't be such a problem to see if there is something wrong with my
build system for someone who's more common with autogen than me.
Sincerely
Uli
