| Someone asked for a binary release of jcabc2ps for Mswin. I've put | one at http://anamnese.online.fr/abc/jcabc2ps.zip | (It's the 24 sept 02 version I've just compiled and it is 250 ko) | | I can't guarantee it will work perfect (I mean "like the unix | version").
Well, I can guarantee that it won't. ;-) In the past two days, I've fixed two bugs. There's now a jcabc2ps-20020929-src.tar.gz that you might want to try. One of the bugs produced some wrong note positions in voices with clef=bass. Another caused endings like [1 at the start of a line (with no |) to not be printed correctly. These both turned up in music that I hadn't seen before; I extracted the critical parts and made a few new test "tunes". | It compiled with a lots of warning and it didn't | compile easily at all : I used cygwin first, but couldn't compile | it with the -mno-cygwin flag (so you 'd need the cygwin specific | dll to make it work), like for abcm2ps for ex. With Mingw it | compiled for the half part, then I get an error (I guess there was | a call to a specific unix tool (maybe ld)). So I finished to | compile it with cygwin but the *.o files were already done by | mingw so there is no need to use the cygwin.dll | (The sources I get in April compiled well on the contrary) Maybe I should get the details of the error messages. I don't quite understand the above. | I tried to use this binary and it seems to work well after all, so | you can use it on MSwindows. Maybe I'll load it to my wife's Windows box and see how it works. (But she sees no need for a C development package and all those funny libraries, so I won't be able to recompile there. ;-) I wonder what other bugs are lurking in the code? One of my motives for doing my own clone is to try to get my tune finder to fail on fewer of the abc tunes that it find Out There. Most of the bug reports come from users of the tune finder, who report some bizarre result from some abc file somewhere. Sometimes the abc is hopeless, of course, but more often it's abc2ps that got it wrong. I'm still contemplating trying to merge in the abcm2ps extensions ...
