HDTracksDownloader for Linux - alpha version

<< < (6/8) > >>

bkh:
I've created an AUR package for Arch users. It can be found at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/hdtracksdownloader/. Based on my limited testing on x86_64, it seems to work.

It's the first time I've created a package and there's probably room for improvement. Feel free to offer suggestions. For example, the deb includes a copy of libboost_regex 1.54. I suspect it would be better to require boost-libs as dependency, but when I do so, hdtracksdownloader complains that it can't find libboost_regex. Additionally I don't recognize libcrypt, and I don't know whether it's commonly available in some other package.

I like the service HDTracks offers, and I would like to be able to use the service with confidence. But I cannot do so if it does not support my preferred platform. Consequently, I'm excited about the prospects of this software. However, I am concerned that there have been no updates for 3 months. Can you share information about the plans for this port? Will there be continued updates? Are there plans for official Linux support? What does the roadmap/timeline look like for this port?

JimH:
Thanks for doing that and welcome to the forum.  There probably won't be much development now.  It's base on a Windows version that is pretty clean.

If you haven't seen it yet, we have a Linux version of JRiver Media Center.  It's on the Linux board here. 

bkh:
Can the Linux version of JRiver Media Center be used to download HDTracks.com purchases?

JimH:
I don't think so, but I'm not certain.

bob:
I was just about to post an updated version.
The dependencies should in the .deb should be correct.
The current version uses it's own boost libs, not external ones.
