OpenFramework on Arch Linux x86_64

linux
#1

Hello,
I just figured out how to install oF on my Arch64 box.
I wrote details here:
http://elettrofonesi.blogspot.com/2010/05/howto-openframework-on-arch-linux-x8664.html

The thing seems to work, except I cannot hear any sound from “soundPlayerFFTExample” example, i get:

  
OF_ERROR: ofSoundPlayer: Could not load sound file data/sounds/rooster.mp3

but the file exist… :shock:

Anyway can someone tell me if I installed it in the right way?
I want to wirte a PKGBUILD to automate installation, but I have to be sure of the process.

Thank you.

of points automatically to bin/data folder of your app, if your soundfile is in there then you just need to load “soundfile.mp3”. maybe this helps.

@ benben, thanks for your reply,

I edited paths into testApp.cpp but it doesn’t works.
I tried a lot of combinations, like:

  
/home/user/fullpath/data/sounds/synth.wav  
data/sounds/synth.wav  
synth.wav

but it gives me alwayse the same error.

I know that it’s not a sound problem because audioOutputExample works well. It seems a sort of “load-wav” problem.
Maybe I forgot a dependecy?

What can I do to make it work? :expressionless:

I don’t know if you already tested this version, because you don’t mentioned it:
if the file is in

  
data/sound/file.wav

then the correct path in of is

  
sound/file.wav

if it don’t works as well, than you can maybe try it with another filetype.

do other apps that load in media (like the imageLoader example) work?

thanks!

@benben

  
data/sound/file.wav

give me the same error.

@zach

imageLoaderExample works, and moviePlayerExample seems to work… but it give me this error…

  
OF_ERROR: GStreamer: cannot query position

I have to say that ArchLinux64 is not a multilib distro. Is possible that this is my problem?

#7

if you have the file in:

data/sounds/file.mp3

you need to use

sounds/file.mp3

the data folder is automatically added by OF.

the cannot query position error, is normal, some times when seeking through a video gstreamer cannot get the exact position and it reports that error but it works anyway

@arturo
Thank you for your reply but actually the problem is I can’t load sounds even if the path is:

  
sounds/file.mp3

For that reason I tried a lot of alternatives.

#9

I run on ubuntu 10.04, but I have same problem. I want to compile soundPlayerExample & soundPlayerFFTExample with cli’s make. i will give the error msg

OF_ERROR: ofSoundPlayer: Could not load sound file data/sounds/synth.wav
OF_ERROR: ofSoundPlayer: Could not load sound file data/sounds/beat.wav
OF_ERROR: ofSoundPlayer: Could not load sound file data/sounds/Violet.mp3

but if I compile those example with code black, it can work .

#10

there seems to be a problem with the makefile including a library that shouldn’t be included. i’m going to fix it but meanwhile, you just need to delete:

libs/fmodex/libfmodexp64.so

#11

Hi arturo:
thanks for your help. I remove the libfmodexp.so in {OF}/libs/fmodex/lib/linux/. at this time. the soundPlayerExample can be work. :smiley:

#12

It works for me too!
Thank you arturo!
