With the uncertainty surrounding MPC right now, I've started to play around a bit with OGG. I can't seem to locate a copy of VorbisGain for Linux. The source doesn't seem to be in CVS (at least not in the nightly CVS drops) and I can't find an up-to-date binary by searching this board. Any suggestions?

http://sjeng.sourceforge.net/ftp/vorbis/

Thanks... Unfortunately, VorbisGain-0.20.tar.gz won't compile for me:

gcc -O2 -g --fast-math -Wall -c -o replaygain.o replaygain.c
replaygain.c: In function `get_gain':
replaygain.c:337: warning: passing arg 3 of `ov_read_float' makes integer from pointer without a cast
replaygain.c:337: too few arguments to function `ov_read_float'
make: *** [replaygain.o] Error 1

Am I doing anything wrong? Is this the right package I should be compiling?

Hmmmm... Actually I can't compile it either on my server running RH7.3.
But it did compile on my old 7.2 installation...
I just copied the binary...

http://www.phazer.dk/vorbisgain.zip

Aargh... Binary doesn't work either:

craig@miata> ./vorbis/vorbisgain satch.ogg
Analyzing files...

Gain | Peak | Scale | New Peak | Track
---------------------------------------------
./vorbis/vorbisgain: relocation error: ./vorbis/vorbisgain: undefined symbol: ov_read_float

I am no expert and I hate compiling stuff.

My error message (see below) is somewhat different, but the binary works.
You could try to install the RedHat RPMS -- works for me.

gcc -lm -lvorbis -lvorbisfile -o vorbisgain misc.o vorbisgain.o vcedit.o gain_analysis.o
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvorbis
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [vorbisgain] Error 1

CVS has been updated since RC3. Remove (or comment) the following line in ReplayGain.c (should be line 87):



It should compile fine then. (Btw, autoconf stuff is in the works, which will handle this automatically.)

@cmokruhl

lines 23 & 24 of vorbis.c are:
/* libvorbisfile RC3 ov_read_float has a buggy calling sequence */
#define RC3_READ_FLOAT_BUG

This is now out of date The read_float bug is now fixed so the #define should be commented out so:

//#define RC3_READ_FLOAT_BUG

That will eliminate the error you have and allow it to compile.

BTW, this relates to version 0.3. If you are using version 0.2, then that code is in replaygain.c.

Hope that helps.

Edit: Oops!! Lear got this in first!!

The fun continues... With both #defines commented out (there are two in replaygain.c), I get this new error. Let me ask again: is http://sjeng.sourceforge.net/ftp/vorbis/Vo...ain-0.20.tar.gz the right source code?

But the source isn't... (It used to be, IIRC.)

Seems like you have an old version of libvorbis around somewhere. Make sure you link with RC3 (you seem to have the right headers installed though). Earlier versions of libvorbis might work; I don't know exactly when ov_read_float was added.

Otherwise it should work. Not that you're using the very latest version of VorbisGain, but newer versions haven't been made generally available yet (partially because it uses a new tag format, and the XMMS patch at http://sjeng.sourceforge.net/ftp/vorbis/ doesn't support that yet).

Thanks... RedHat had RC2 libraries in /usr/lib and the new pre-RC4 ones I installed were in /usr/local/lib. Cleaned it up, reran ldconfig, and it works now.

Quite true!! I'll correct that situation in the next 24 hours.

VorbisGain sources are now available inside dailyvorbis.zip package.
