RPM Packages - 2025 ( For OS/2 Software in General)
Dave Yeo:
Ideal would be recompiling it if easy, cdrecord used a weird build system that only supported EMX.
Another idea is to package libc05 separately and have a dependency.

Just a question here about cdda2wav.exe, (it is compiled on 2007-08-24), it references to libc05.dll (which is included). Do you think it will be desirable to recompile it to reference the libc that is included in ArcaOS ?
cdda2wav is included in cdrtools, right?

Hi Martin,
ArcaOS 5.1.1 has cdrtools 3.01.1 package installed (RPM) but no cdd2wav.exe into it while cdda2wav is available into a different cdrtools build and can be used as standalone installation
Having cdda2wav available as a standalone RPM installation package is then the best option.
Note: If you are going to recompile it, I'm ok to give it a test, using cdda2wav.exe under AVxCAT

Hello
Do you think it will be good to do an extra things to the executables? I noticed that a lot of the .exe and .dll does not has bldlevel information.
- Will be it be ok to add that information on the exe/dll using AddToFile ?
- would that violates the sacrosanctity of the binary :) ?
- or is it too much OCD ?
I know that it may only be a nice to have, but not completely necessary.
Regards
Dave Yeo:
You understand that you have to rebuild the binaries after patching the makefiles to use Addtofile? Also I just noticed the license doesn't allow hosting the script on any servers so it would have to be downloaded by anyone rebuilding the binary.
Other then that, adding bldlevel info seems a good idea.

I guess I didn't understand it right. I thought that "AddToFile" changed the .exe to include the bldlevel information, and that modified exe was going to be included on the RPM. I didn't know that the binary had to be rebuild. Or that every user had to download "AddToFile" for it to work.
