Solaris Multimedia

Would it be possible to create build with opencore AMR integrated?

I was not able to compile myself from ffmpeg 0.5.1 source, and I really need amr support. Can you help - provide som insights please?

Everything worked without a glitch. Excellent job. Thank you very much. PayPal here I come :)!

Thanks a lot for putting these up. Why don't you share your build scripts to help others.

Thanks once again.

Here is an idea. How much would you say a special request for a package build is worth? Like on youtube there are guys that do movie reviews. They will normally do a review of what they want but if you give them $50 they will review a movie or your choice and from what I understand they get a lot of request. I don't know exactly what goes into a package build but suppose you put up a donation tracking bar for reach program on your list. When the donations for a program reach the specified level, that program moves up to the top priority to be the next package. I don't know if you want to do something like that but also suppose someone wanted to just donate a sum to get a program ported to opensolaris, what would it cost?

If you can read Japanese the message on taking down the packages implies that it was a government agency that asked him to take it down. It was not likely the police but some other regulatory agency. All it would have taken was a company like Sony to complain and then one of the many regulatory agencies can jump in to show that they have power and are doing something.

It really is a shame. Big companies like Microsoft get raided all the time but they still ignore all the warnings, even when they really are doing something wrong. Little guys can't ignore the warnings from these agencies. Microsoft can afford to have a fall guy go to jail for a few days in order to keep breaking the law but a little guy has to comply even if he isn't breaking the law. My understanding of Japanese law is not perfect but it is based on the Civil Law tradition and they basically just translated their code from the German code, which itself was translated from the original Louisiana French code. Anyway, as far as I can tell, LWS was not actually violating the law, but if a company complained then the government would need to investigate and in this country that is almost worse than being found guilty. They can investigate you very harshly here.

I live in Japan but I have not been able to contact him. I think he goes by Kronos. You obviously don't have any problem hosting packages so if we could get a hold of him, maybe we could get his packages and host them or at least take a look at them.

I have been trying myself to use Sun Studio to make packages but so far I just make junk.

You have done a great job on this, really, thanks.

You probably know about the guy in Japan who set up Life With Solaris. I don't suppose you have a way to contact him. I know you don't need his help as you have done a great job but perhaps you two great minds could collaborate.

Also, perhaps not many don't care for this too much but I was wondering if you had a way to build either Tomboy Notes or Gnote so that one or the other or both would run properly on OpenSolaris. I have tried and I know some other people who have tried but we aren't programmers, we don't know what we are doing and we just can't get it to work. All we wind up doing is creating new boot environments.

Could you share your build scripts? maybe it would be nice to have them on sourcejuicer. This of course if you are willing to share and open source :)

Anyway, great job!
