RadioEar Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 (edited) Ok, has anyone done this before? I hope.... ;) I have compiled my own programs in C++, Visual Basic and Visual Basic for Windows but why is Linux so different? The command 'make' is familiar but that's it. Installing K3b 0.12 ------------------- What you need to run K3b: mandatory: - since K3b is a CD writing program a cd writer would be a good thing to have;-) - the QT3 library (at least version 3.2) - the KDE3 libraries (at least version 3.2) - the cdparanoia library for cd ripping from Monty - the cdrtools (cdrecord, mkisofs) from Joerg Schilling - the dvd+rw-tools by Andy Polyakov for DVD writing optional: - cdrdao, the other linux cd writing program from Andreas Mueller - the transcode tools for DVD ripping and DivX/XviD encoding from Thomas Oestreich - vcdimager >= 0.7 for creating video cds - libmad for mp3 decoding - ogg-vorbis libraries for encoding and decoding - the FLAC++ libraries for flac-decoding - the eMovix package - TagLib by Scott Wheeler for reading Meta data tags - the musepack (or now mpcdec) library for decoding Musepack audio files - the ffmpeg library to decode other audio file formats such as wma - the sndfile library to decode audio file formats such as AIFF or VOC - the lame library to encode audio files in the mp3 format - sox to encode audio files in formats such as AIFF or VOC After that it's all the same: ./configure or try ./configure --help to learn about the options. If configure was successful you are presented with a list of configure results that shows which optional features are enabled. Now just compile K3b: make Now you are ready to install: make install (as root) See PERMISSIONS on hints how to properly setup the permissions to use K3b without problems. Have fun Sebastian Trueg and the K3b team Also, it is my hope that this will fix my K3B problem. Tell me now if it will not!

tyme Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 why is Linux so different? Because it's not Windows? Also, it is my hope that this will fix my K3B problem. Tell me now if it will not!That depends, whats your problem with k3b? (If you have a thread about it already, just call me lazy and give us a link ;)) Basically, you need to install a bunch of dev packages so that you can compile against them. I don't have access to a list of packages, but there are some generic instructions in this FAQ that should help you get started. Ask any questions after reading through it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioEar Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 tyme; where have you been? just look in software "Can't Burn audio CDs using FLAC files in K3B, No. 2" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 tyme; where have you been?Hiding :P I'll take a look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 It's best if you just go into MCC and pick development packages. And then you have to install kernel-source and it has to be an exact match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Or just try the 2007 rpm to see if it works. My guess is it won't work, and I guess compiling k3b from source won't work either. I think you're missing some KDE component which links k3b up to the flac stuff. But hey, I'm sure compiling it will be fun, and you've already posted the instructions, so go for it! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 and I guess compiling k3b from source won't work either.Now that I've reviewed his thread, it actually might help, as the ./configure script will attempt to detect any libs that it can use...including codecs...and compile against them.

RadioEar Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Well I did it, Might as well mark it solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Try compiling the latest K3B 1.0 RC4. For Mandriva, start with ./configure --prefix=/usr After configuring ckeckout which options have been enabled and which not, due to unsatisfied dependencies. Continue normally ( make, su -c "make install" ). You must have a few devel packages installed. K3B 1.0 will be just AMAZING. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gul Dukat Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Well I did it, Might as well mark it solved. Just out of curiosity. How did you solve the problem? Did the installation of Mandriva 2007 suffice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioEar Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) It didn't, This thread was a request for a little more understanding and help on compiling in Linux. I download K3B 1.0 RC4. , compiled it, and it works, that part was a success but the new version K3B STILL will not handle FLAC audio files. Yes, I still have the FLAC problem but a successful compile. So, at least, I'm done with this thread. Now, the next step is to up grade to Mandriva 2007, I downloaded it last night. As soon as get some blank DVDr's I can burn it in Windows and then do the up grade. Edited January 24, 2007 by RadioEar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
