[SOLVED] wavinfo

[tarazed]

Wavinfo should be in the waveutils package I think, not part of Mageia. I tried the tarball but could not get it to compile; loads of duplicate member errors from waitstatus.h while compiling InfoWave.o. Does not mean anything to me except that the errors seem to concern a union between a couple of structs and a status int.
Since I am working with a 64-bit system it seemed worth specifying /usr/lib64 at the configure stage but that had no effect. Has anybody seen an RPM anywhere?

wavbreaker contains /usr/bin/wavinfo. You could have checked that easily by using urpmf wavinfo,
which searches for a file of that name in all packages in all enabled package repositories

But i don't know if that's the one your looking for ...

Right, thanks for the information. I did not know about urpmf. In the meantime I found that sox supplies the same information. Sox underlies play and I am assuming wavinfo as well.
