Re: OpenSong

Hi, I've done this package before, no PKGBUILD though. All I did was basically download their deb, unpack it, and run the resulting executable. 32-bit only, unfortunately. I did try to go the compile route, but that RealBasic website was down at the time.

I recommend you download the deb and unpack it to use this program.

Re: OpenSong

I'll try making this PKGBUILD. It's GPL, so source is available to rebuild. There are no tarballs for some reason, so you have to check out the release tag from svn. Annoying...

Edit: Not going to happen. This uses REALbasic to build, and AUR's realbasic package is both 2 years out of date, and i686 only. (This is probably why upstream only provides 32-bit builds.) Even if we did have REALbasic, the OpenSong build looks like it would take some heavy hacking to get it to install in an Arch-compliant manner.

Kids, this is what happens when you don't follow standards.

Re: OpenSong

My alternative is to download the deb and install it in a chroot. I have one for wine/skype/google earth anyway.

You could also keep an eye on Changing Song, seems to be an attempt to take opensong and surpass it. Nowhere near ready yet though.

Re: OpenSong

well not sure if it is much help but I think I got a working bin-32realbasic2009 install for x86_64. *I am not every good at making PKGBUILDS so not sure if everything is done in a compliant manner. *this prob will not work... I was unable to get the package to compile... not sure if it is because of missing dependencies... most likely should be installed into a chroot... the much easier solution imo is just to unpack the DEB file and install it pre-compiled as a bin32
