dvda-author 09.03: questions and issues

[Udo-12]

Hello,

I plan to get going again with DVD-A so I grabbed the 09.03 sources and built them on my current Fedora 10 x86_64 box.

Some issues and questions:

# dvda-author
Segmentation fault

Why?

    -----------------   DVD-A author 09.03   -----------------

Current time is: 10-18-02-39

Why is the time `wrong`?

The (C) message does not cope with 80 column screen? GPL text does not wrap at all.

Why so many empty lines? Please keep it more terse.
The 08.06 version was a lot cleaner in this respect. Less output and more correct. :-(

Also: how do I tell ./configure to use the sox that is on my system and not build it (again)? (the building of sox errors on my system, why?)

Could please have the spec file to build our own rpm?

What is the currently best tool (for Linux...) to cut WAVs etc into tracks to be used for DVD-A?

Udo

Hi Udo, how is your NAD doing?

Some issues and questions:



# dvda-author

Segmentation fault



Why?





> Not an issue, empty argument is no longer supported, see dvda-author --help or (website/console) man page.

Why is the time `wrong`?



> It is not wrong, yet the presentation will be improved, arguably it is not the best. Day, hour, minute, second. I'll add month and colons.

all.

> No longer a nagging issue since most people have wide screens...yet it's going to be corrected.



Why so many empty lines? Please keep it more terse.



> I personally disagree on this. Empty lines are pretty much a matter of taste, I find it useful to get a lot of them. 

And you always have the option to hush up the whole output with -q.



Could please have the spec file to build our own rpm?



> It's been included in the tarball for some time now! :-)

used for DVD-A?



> Audacity





PS: 



A tarball will be uploaded before very soon (index 09.03-1) to the sourceforge file system with your requested corrections (except for white lines...) and a corrected building system, following Kai-Uwe's insightful remarks.



(white line)

(Let me hereby thank him for his useful contrib). 

(white line :-) )



The sox-linking bug, in particular, should be corrected. Normally sox libs should be automatically detected on *nix. Otherwise, use the following configure line:

./configure --with-sox=(full path to sox lib)

Please tell me if this works OK with you.
