Compile soundKonverter +========================= + +In order to compile soundKonverter, you need: +- taglib-devel 1.4.0 (libtaglib-devel on mandriva) +- cdparanoia (libcdda-devel on mandriva, cdparanoia-devel on fedora) + +On some operating systems, the cdda check (cdparanoia) in ./configure may fail. +This is because sometimes the header files are at another location (eg. /usr/include/cdda instead of /usr/include on ark linux). +In this case remove the cdparanoia check from the configure.in.in file. + + +4. Known bugs +============= + +- The options tabs get out of sync in some very rare cases +- taglib check in ./configure may fail + +Backends that's output cant't be read: +- The progress of some backends can't be read properly + +A big change is that soundKonverter now uses mime types. +If you find problems, please tell me about it. + + +Thanks to all Open Source programmers for their apps that I used to get some code. +Especially Kaffeine and Amarok. + +Have a lot of fun. + +Please send bug reports directly to hessijames@gmail.com + -- cgit v1.2.3
