I've now committed all major edi-30 related changes
to the CVS-tree. The changes are quite large, so testing
is again needed. So far I've tested building and
basic functionality on following machines (distro, arch, compiler):
- monster-redhat (mixture of 5.x, 6.x, 7.x and 8.x
packages), x86-smp, gcc-3.2
- redhat-8.0, x86-smp, gcc-3.2
- sunos 5.8, ultra-250, sun-workshop-5.2
- debian testing/unstable, alpha ev56, gcc-2.95.4
Let me know if you experience any odd behaviour. I've
also updated the ecamegapedal and ecawave CVS-trees to
match the new ecasound build arrangements.
So far I've received suprisingly little negative feedback
concerning these changes. I admit that in a way, edi-30 is
a huge step backwards. Especially letting the internal-plugin
system go was a really difficult decision to make. Another big
problem is that due to the static linkage, the ecasound binaries
(especially in ecatools) now take a lot of disk-space. This
situation will improve as the existing apps are converted to ECI,
but it will take time.
Comments, both negative and positive, are welcome! :)
