What it is, and where it works
This is a simplistic but working editor for Ogg/Vorbis sound file comment tags.
It was written in Perl, and it uses Perl-GTK+ package for X11 user interface.
At the moment, it has only been tested by yours truly in Debian GNU/Linux; It should work under other distributions and other *nixen. Probably not under Windows, I think, unless today's technology indeed is miraculous.
Stuff you need
- "vorbiscomment" tool
- GTK+/Perl package
- Gtk::GladeXML package
- URI package
- GNU Recode (until we get GTK+ 2.0 stuff in Perl...)
In Debian GNU/Linux, these can be found in following packages:
- vorbis-tools
- libgtk-perl
- libgladexml-perl
- liburi-perl
...aside of the obvious stuff that everyone should have installed =)
This needs a fairly bleeding edge system. Vorbis-tools 1.0 release is an absolute minimum!
The GNOMEish drag and drop has been tested with Nautilus 2.0.7.
Installation
The command "make install" ought to do the trick. Ought to. Note that our makefile isn't too bright, and doesn't use stuff like ExtUtils::MakeMaker or GNU Autotools that makes really sure the stuff goes where it's supposed to go.
So, in case you don't like the defaults...
Edit makefile if it won't go where you want it to go. Or better yet, do manual installation:
- copy "vocoditor" to some directory along your path
- copy "lib/*" to Perl library directory
- copy "vocoditor.glade" to share/vocoditor or share directory under either /usr or /usr/local, or where VOCODITORSHARE points to.
By default, the files go to following places:
/usr/local/bin/
/usr/local/lib/perl/
/usr/local/share/vocoditor/
(Previous versions had some pixmaps - you can nuke those if you can find them. =)
