(fr:) Bonjour, Monsieur jcr,

Merci, beaucoup. C'est très bien avec votre aide. Je vais travailler FC-12, puis, pouvez-vous me dire vos changes, s'il vous plaît? Un peu plus tard, à bientôt! -- mkido.

(en:) Excuse me other readers, I am aware of Forum Francophone. If the discussion will go on a long one in French, then we may move to the "Forum Francophone". I thought just a greeting would be fine here. Excuse me.

Hi mkido,

Well, I'm french, but I can help with english too, so no problem with english.

I'll make source and binary FC12 rpms for ices-0.4 (renamed 0.4-jcr for safety) with all patches to allow smooth build and operation.

Hello et Bonjour jcr,

(en:) I finally got running one Fedora Core 12 at Acer ASPIRE One computer. Excuse me it took a long time, since I am very careful for the transition, and now all my office and server environment are Fedora Core 7 migrated from FC-4. I have been working ices-0.4 and icecast 2.3 to set up by this Forum help of karlH in the last two weeks. It has been a great progress.


(fr:) Car vous avez offert les source et binary FC12 for ices-0.4 (ices-0.4-jcr), peux je les avoir maintenant? Parce que mon ices-0.4 RPM en cours en FC-7 est de 'Centova.com", une compagnie canadienne, et je n'ai pas de source. Il vaut mieux d'avoir une source et le binary RPM de médiateur d'IceCast.org.

Merci, merci beaucoup, jcr.

mkido

ices0 for Fedora is now included in AT RPMs repository. You can fetch binary or source rpm package from there for your Fedora flavor.

Hi! jcr,

I may have a few questions about available RPM and src.RPM, so please hang around the forum. Here is the first question. My regular "rpm -ivh foo.src.rpm" didn't create a new directory with files. I issued the above command line at /usr/src/ OR /home/mkido/ as super-user. Usually, "foo.src.rpm" make a new folder with a name like ices and there are a bunch of source codes file. And the next step is
./configure
make
make install

My command line "rpm -ivh foo.src.rpm" looks worked, but I don't know where are the direcotry and files are extraced, or not extraced. Any help?

mkido

[jcr]

Well,

When you install a source RPM, it installs the source files, patches abnd so on in SOURCE in your RPM build environment, and the .spec file in SPECS directory.

Ti build a rpm from a source rpm, you have to cd to the SPEC directory and issue the following command:

rpmbuild -ba ices0.spec

for building a binary RPM for your arch.

But why the hell would you like to install from source when a binary package (and very well built) one is available in repository ?

a simple rpm -Uvh Http://path.to.repository.for.your.arch/ices0-0.4-4.i386.rpm (or x86_64 for 64 bit) ?

Hi ! jcr, thanks for your reply.

I haven't used "rpmbuild" never before, so give me some time to understand how to use.

[mkido]

Hi! jcr and everyone,

First of all, I would better to tell you my environment. The testing phase FC12 computer stays at local, just in front of me, and it is not connected to Internet with static IP. It locates at my home office behind DHCP router because I am working FC12 just as a part of another testing about ices-0.4.

I fetched the ready ices 0.4 RPM for FC12, and issued my familiar command line,
# rpm -ivh ices0-0.4-4.fc12.i686.rpm
and here is the result,

some packages do not have a free distribution which prevents shipping in certain products like fedora. You can add repositories like rpmfusion or remi by installing the repository rpm they have on their site and then use

yum install xxx.rpm

Hi! Dear karl, thanks a lot again!!, letting me know the way to get nonfree packages.

Some packages are commercially available, and the other are free. That is very flexible way to go. A very good idea.

Now, I am learning about nonfree package available by RPMFusion. I actually went to "http://rpmfusion.org", and got both free and nonfree repositories downloaded, and installed on FC12. Then, from there, I don't know how to find a way to get "libmp3lame.so.0" in a certain package. Another question, I don't know how to pay. I browsered "system" category and "video and audio" category, or under alphagbet [L], I didn't see the likely stuff.

Your comment,

[karlH]

ah, the xxx.rpm is the ices rpm package, yum will look at the dependencies and search through the cache that it maintains to locate what you want.

karl.

[mkido]

Hi! karl, thanks always,

But you know, Ices has two version 0.4 (mp3) series and 2.x (ogg) serires. Whenever I do at FC7, FC12,

# yum install ices

The RedHat repository of yum installed Ices 2.x (ogg) series always. So, for a while, I put the priority on MP3, namely Ices 0.4 version (mp3 stream), and I decided not to do the simple command [# yum install ices]. MP3 stream is well recognized by Windows Media Player and Apple's iTUNE. While OGG stream is not recognized by Windows Media Player nor Apple's iTUNE. On the contrary, OGG stream works very well with LINUX FC12 when I tested here. The situation of MP3 vs OGG right now is not overlapping but one side (Windows, Apple) or the other side (LINUX).


To install Ices-0.4, since I am in the middle of RPMFusion trial, to install nonfree RPM or Library, which has "libmp3lame.so.0", Will you or someone continue guide me a little bit more, how to purchase nonfree stuff at or by using RPMFusion?

Thanks so much in advance! mkido

[jcr]

As I already told you, ices0 is only available and maintained by AT RPMS repository. Till you don't add this repo, you'll not get ices0 ans specific dependancies.

You only need

yum install ices0

and all dependancie swill be grabbed from other repos.

(fr:) Très, très bien, jcr. Merci, beaucoup,

(en:) I never used a 3rd party repository for yum such as ATrpms.net, so until I carefully read the instruction of installation of repository of ATrpms.net, I haven't realized there is an repository other than RedHat default repository.

I added the repository of ATrpms.net, then edited the yum.conf file, as explained in ATrpms.net documentation, then finally I ran the command you gave me,

Hi! thanks, thanks, karlH, jcr and everyone.


This is more like an announcement rather than actual post, but now my company's Web server running for 2 weeks stably streaming by Ices 2.3.1 and a version of Ices0 without any interruption at FC7 (the forum thread is somewhere else).

Based on this success, I am working on hardware of enough memory (4 GB RAM or 8 GB RAM) with FC12, and I would like to try, two or three streamings Ices0-A, Ices0-B, for CLASSIC and CONTEMPORARY so on,,,

The future challenge will be the customized ON-Demand Streaming, hundreds or thousands of short sound clips. At least I will try it with this Forum. In a few weeks, I will start reviewing and examining Ice0 source codes (of ATrpms.net) and compilation practices. Help me again at that time. Bye now.
