Bug#546787: RFA: libsndfile -- Library for reading/writing audio files
Erik de Castro Lopo wrote: This is going to be an exceeding painful debugging process. Which fortunately isn't needed. I compiled the current libsndfile-1.0.20 from the debian source package on MIPS, using libogg, libvorbis and libflac from Debain Sid and all tests in the test suite passed. Previous problems must have been either toolchain issues or problems in libogg and libvorbis. I'll roll a new package and upload it ASAP.

Getting Qemu set up and running the MIPS image was a major pain in the neck despite having using qemu to run x86 and x86_64 images in the past. The speed of resulting system is also far from acceptable. On a 4 year old dual core amd64 machine, the configure and build of libsndfile takes under two minutes. On the MIPS qemu guest running on the same system, configure was well over 5 minutes (I didn't time it) and the compile has now been running for over 30 minutes and is about half way through. This is going to be an exceeding painful debugging process.

There's apparently an emulator called ovp: http://www.ovpworld2.org/ It requires a forum login to, at least, be able to download it. I don't actually know if it works, or if it is possible to install Debian on it, but it is said to be very fast. HTH.

Hi Erik, Has there been any progress on taking over libsndfile and fixing the issues detected by the test suite failures? libsndfile is starting to block the migration of some packages which in turn block even more.

Hi Raphael, My main problem here is getting access to a MIPS machine for testing. I have a friend who is a DD (Simon Horman) who tried to get access to a MIPS porter machine but none of them seemed to be working when he tried.

Yeah, seems like the two porter box machines are unavailable. Do you have a program or something you want to build/run? It might be easier to find somebody willing to try to build or run a program on their own machines than giving you access.

By the way, have you tried a prebuilt qemu image? http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/mips/ http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/mipsel/ You'll have to upgrade them to squeeze/sid, though.

Need bzr and svn clients, build tools and build-deps for libsndfile/libvorbis and libogg. It might be easier to find somebody willing to try to build or run a program on their own machines than giving you access. I have asked on the debian-mips mailing list. Got one offer that was withdrawn before I could take them up on it (I was very busy at that exact time).

Hi, I am the upstream author of libsndfile. I am also a Debian maintainer and in the process of becoming a DD. I am more than willing to take over maintaining libsndfile in Debian. Cheers, Erik -- -- Erik de Castro Lopo http://www.mega-nerd.com/ pgpmB9btWoZBH.pgp Description: PGP signature
