Hi, (note: apparently 80%+ of posts from this list aren't turning up in my hotmail inbox....no idea why, some do..most don't...and I only discovered this about 5minutes ago when I checked the archives with my browser - I'll change my email address later, this is just for the record....)
I went to compile dvdauthor ; fribidi is listed as a required dep. Opening the fribidi page, I discovered the instructions were slightly wrong - fribidi-0.19.2.tar.gz no longer provides the file 'fribidi-config' , it uses pkgconfig instead. I have updated that page..... Back to dvdauthor, and of course it doesn't find fribidi because it can't find any fribidi-config file. I checked the dvdauthor source files to discover that fribidi is indeed optional - if you want arabic or hebrew subtitles, -then- you NEED fribidi...else, dvdauthor will compile fine without fribidi and the functions it provides.... Now....checking the fribidi homepage, I find that the 0.10.x releases are considered to be 'fribidi' , while the 0.19.x releases are consider to be 'fribidi2' -- so I can see what/how happened to the existing fribidi page.... So.....I should move fribidi out of 'required' on the dvdauthor page, and into 'optional' with a note about what it provides, but in doing that it will create the situation where the CBLFS fribidi page is not applicable -- in essence, we need a fribidi page + a fribidi2 page.... ..or to put it another way, the current CBLFS fribidi page should be the fribidi2 page, and a previous version of the fribidi page (using the 0.10.x series) should exist as the fribidi page.... I can't rename pages on the wiki - could someone fix this please? Or is it best to revert the existing fribidi page, and create a new page titled fribidi2 ?
