[Sugar-devel] Etoys mp3 files

[Bert Freudenberg]

I sent my patch to the upstream maintainer (Ian Piumarta). I'm hopeful there will be a new 4.x VM release very soon.

That new release will also help with Scratch because it will have the Scratch plugins (so the Scratch XO bundle do not need any binaries inside anymore), and with Etoys 5 (which needs a new Camera plugin). 4.4.7 already helps DrGeo (which uses a newer Squeak format), and on 64 bit hosts (because many of the 32/64 bit problems have been worked out), and has numerous other improvements.

Similarly, the dprintf bug you see has been fixed in 2009 according to the change log. It really makes not much sense trying to fix that old codebase. Rather package the new 4.x VM.

Btw, here is a list of build requirements for squeak-vm (you need to watch the install log to make sure that plugins and features are not disabled because of missing dev headers):

gcc make cmake pulseaudio-libs-devel alsa-lib-devel nas-devel libogg-devel libvorbis-devel speex-devel uuid-devel dbus-devel pango-devel gstreamer-devel mesa-libGL-devel libX11-devel libXext-devel libXrender-devel freetype-devel
