The Pandora Port Request Thread


Yep, according to wikipedia, it's a fork of the beep media player when they decided to switch to a new codebase. Beep media player was itself a fork of Xmms to GTK2. And Xmms was a clone of WinAMP, so it all goes round :)

Audacious 3.2 is the last version supporting the glib/gtk combo of the pandora OS.While, doing a PND with updated glib/gtk is doable, you're going to endup with a PND that look like half an OS ;)

With small amount of changes it's possible to compile Audacious 3.8 for Pandora (using existing glib/gtk).
I've put new and changed files in the attachments. New files are platform-*.* and changes to existing files are mostly for including and compiling the new files. I only compiled (and fixed) plugins where I wasn't missing any dependencies.

Good work here (as usual from you :p)
Feel free to release your work. Want me to give you right on the package on the repo ?

I can make a full release if you're not interested. (But first I'll need to compile all plugins that you compiled.)

I broke my laptop about a year ago. and I havent setup a toolchain on my new one (only bought it 2 months ago, i'm that broke...)
So I'm guessing it will be easier for you. Beside I would feel better if you take the pride for your hard work :)

About the deps requiered for all others plugin : everything you need is in the PND (libs, headers and even pkg-build files), just mount the PND and take all you need there

I prepared a release, should I upload it to the repo or should I make a beta test first ?

I compiled the dependencies, because some required higher versions than yours and it's not easy to find all files that I should copy from your pnd.

I tried real quick. your newer version runs but seems a lot slower. It does not play sid files un interupted so I reverted to the latest version on the repo.

Back to the drawing board? ;)
 
The mp3 playback is working good so far. I started at 1:00pm today and will let it run for a few days. Thanks!!!
 
Recompiling didn't help, because Audacious 3.8 uses different library for playing sid files than Audacious 3.2 and this library is much slower on Pandora - it uses doubles for calculations.

Can Starcraft 2 be ported to Pandora?
Click to expand...
Not via any normal porting process; it's not open source in any sense of the word. Maybe notaz's static recompilation approach could work, but with such a recent game you're unlikely to get good performance that way, so I guess he's not even considered it yet.

Consider Starcaft (the first game) which Notaz has already ported; on PC that needs a 90MHz Pentium (single core). Starcraft 2 requires a 1.8GHz core2 chip with dual cores at bare,bare minimum. Running that code on a 1GHz single core pandora is not going to run very well at all. And it almost certainly won't run on a Pyra either for that matter, unless we get a much, much more powerful CPU board in the future.
