Hi.
Is it possible to provide linux static / shared libraries to link against? Maybe porting delphi code to lazarus pascal? Thanks. Sorry for my bad english. |

Sorry, I might not be clear, can't find the edit button, so sorry for double posting.
From what I understand Thomas doesn't want to open source TAK. Is it possible for Thomas to also build TAK static/shared libraries for linux and ship it with newer SDKs so people can make a native TAK decoder in linux without knowing the source of TAK? Thanks. |

Note this would only run on X86 linux computers, not powerpc based, or the variety of audio appliances that run linux on ARM or powerpc processors. Try searching this site with "TAK linux" AFAIK the author is happy with a strictly Windows effort. This post has been edited by DonP: Jan 21 2011, 13:35 |

AFAIK he wants to port it to other platforms eventually (that's what his website says even), but I remember hearing it was written in Delphi which is not very portable. Therefore only a rewrite in C/C++ or something along those lines would make this worthwhile (and probably get it included in RockBox and various software players). |

OK. I stopped following TAK a while ago. At that point he was concerned that open sourcing would mean the demise of TAK as all the "goodies" would end up in FLAC
