No output device in audacious

Zmyrgel · 11-09-2006, 10:39 AM

Just installed audacious package from linuxpackages.net but when running it I get no playback at all. I checked from preferences and there from audio tab it doesn't give any output devices or let me choose any.
Any idea how to get the audacious to work? I prefer it over xmms

Did you install the plugins as well?
That's a common behaviour of missing audacious's plugins.
I suggest you that compile your own packages from source rather than installing them from linuxpackages.net

Yeah, actually just compiled both the player and the plugins and it's working

btw, how to set compiler options in slackware? Gentoo has the /etc/make.conf file?

mmmm don't know of gentoo's dark corners LOL

I have a couple of gcc's flags in my .profile, they work for me but I'm not sure if that's what you are looking for:

Code:

$ cat ~/.profile
#!/bin/bash
export CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-4"
export CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-4"

Ok, thank you. That was what I was looking for. How about make then, how can I specify option "make -j4" on it everytime without typing it? Is alias the best way for it or is there some official way?

Likely an alias would do.
Though I don't know what is the -j4 option for?
What does it do?

Compiles the code using more resources, perfect to use when you have more than one processor. I think the rule of thumb is make -j CPUs + 1 so the dual-core systems use -j3.

export MAKEOPTS="-j3"

same place as the CFLAGS.
