Libroar for Ubuntu 10.04

[Storm Dragon]

Hi,
I got the latest Cmus from git and it calls for something called
libroar. I have searched an was unable to find anything about libroar
for Ubuntu 10.04. does anyone know if this package is available for
10.04 and if so how to get it?
thanks
Storm

You don't need libroar. Cmus can use libroar to send audio output
to a roaraudio system, but since you don't know what it is, I'm
sure you don't have one. Ubuntu ships with the pulseaudio sound
system.

Just make sure you build with the pulseaudio plugin, and a plugin
that can read whatever file format(s) your music is in.

Hi,
when I run ./configure it ends with an error because of libroar. Here's
part of the output:
checking for header <sys/soundcard.h>... yes
checking for header <sys/audioio.h>... no
checking for ROAR_LIBS (pkg-config)... no
*** Package libroar was not found in the pkg-config search path.
*** Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libroar.pc'
*** to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
*** No package 'libroar' found
Is there a way to tell ./configure not to use it?
Thanks

I don't think that it necessarily *needs* libroar, does it? It just
needs it to play certain types of files, right?
AFAIK I didn't need anything called libroar whenever I installed cmus.

It is not an error -- it is merely an information that cmus was unable
to find RoarAudio files on your system, and will not build the
corresponding optional output plugin. ./configure ends up normally:

checking for ROAR_LIBS (pkg-config)... no
*** Package libroar was not found in the pkg-config search path.
*** Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libroar.pc'
*** to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
*** No package 'libroar' found
checking for DISCID_LIBS (pkg-config)... -ldiscid
checking for DISCID_CFLAGS (pkg-config)...
updating config.mk

So you can just ignore these -- no need to "./configure
CONFIG_ROAR=n"; everything will build fine.
