Full Version: oggenc2 or Lancer(optimized encoder) for linux?
Hello. I've been reading the forum and found no version of oggenc2 or the Lancer encoder (with SSE optimizations) for linux. I did get the sources and patches for everything but I lack oggenc2, so a normal build with oggenc(vorbis-tools version) will segfault horribly. It would be sad that no linux version of the optimized encoder exists for linux

This is a quote of the last montly meeting at xiph.org:
January 2006 meeting agenda
January 2006 meeting log
CODE
10:07 < MikeS> One thing from me before I leave: the agenda has someone asking about multichannel stuff (apparently wav has channel mapping stuff that differs from vorbis); I said I'd try to merge the patches for that into oggenc and oggdec, but I haven't done so yet.
10:08 < MikeS> It also asks about merging the poorly named 'oggenc2' to oggenc: selected features might be, but most of them won't, as they add support for proprietary codecs, etc.

http://www.rarewares.org/quantumknot/oggenc-aotuv451.gz this is a Static GCC 4 compile that QuantumKnot put together of AoTuV build. That's about the only thing I have seen for Linux compiles so far. People on this forum have a tendency to kick out Win32 binaries like they are going out of style, but nobody bothers to take the time to make any for Linux or OSX. My case in point, everything needs to be merged into one binary and branch so we don't have all of these other 3rd party compiles floating around left and right. It really does blow that there aren't any optimized version of Lancer for Linux. If I had the sources and access to a unix environment I would try and compile them myself, but the dreaded "segfault" has scared me off enough times, even when I was coding.
