[Buildroot] Introduction of mpd into buildroot ?

[Yoann Sculo]

Hello,

I've been following buildroot mailing list for a while.
Now I'm interested in contributing and submitting some patches for
applications I've been working on.
Has someone ever tried to introduce mpd (the daemon one, not the library)
into buildroot ?

I've successfully built mpd for arm920t and think it could be interesting to
introduce this package.

First, I'd like to have your opinion about pkg-config files. libmad-0.15.1
for example doesn't provide the small file mad.pc
This is surprising, It does'nt seem to be distributed with libmad sources.
The probem is I need actually this file to compile mpd. Adding it manually,
works fine.

So I would be inclined to create a patch into package/multimedia/libmad to
add this file during mpd installation. Is it the better way to do this ?

Well, if mpd has never been added into buildroot I'm interested to work on
it.

Thanks

Yoann Sculo

Indeed, you might need to add it manually :

Yes, sounds good. An even better thing would be to create such a patch
*and* to submit it to the upstream libmad project so that hopefully a
future version of libmad will contain the pkg-config file.

I haven't heard of any effort to package mpd, so feel free to work on
it!

Thanks,

Thomas

Thanks for your answers.
I will patch mpd and libmad like you say. You're right, It will actually be
better to solve this problem at the source.
Or at least understand why mad.pc is not packaged into libmad archive
You should hear from me soon :)

While that is good advice in general, I don't think it will work in the
libmad case as that's pretty dead upstream. The latest (beta) release
was in 2004.

Yes please. It would be a good companion to the libmpd stuff we already
have.
