This is the README file for WHAMp 0.5.1 (date 10 august 1999) What is whamp? Whamp is an mpeg audio player for the x-window system using the gtk-toolkit. At the moment it works on linux systems only. (I do not have any intention to change this myself in the near future.) Whamp is licenced under the GNU public licence (look at the file GPL for details). The latest news on WHAMp can be found on the website http://www.casema.net/~bosboom. New in whamp 0.5.1 - Volume bar slightly changed - There was a bug where mpglib exit(1)-ed on invalid files. It has been fixed. - various bugs fixed. New in whamp 0.5.0 - a complete rewrite of the rendering-interface (the link between buttons and things happenning). - a few bugs fixed. - a few other bugs introduced. New in whamp 0.4.1 - The song that is currently playing, is colored red in the playlist. - Volume control is introduced. - the main window has been redecorated. - a randomize button has been added in the list window. Requirements. You need to have these things: - a linux system. - version 1.2 if the gtk-toolkit. - other obvious things. Installation instructions. - Unpack the archive. - Issue a make command to compile the program and strip the binary. - Do a make install (as a certified user). This will copy the binary into /usr/local/bin and some xpm files into /usr/local/share/whamp. - Run the program, play with it, find the bugs and missing features and mail them to me. - Tell your friends. Future plans (TODO) - Check all source files for dutch variable names and dutch comments ;) - Split up the file buttons.c and use gtk_signal_connect_object instead of gtk_signal_connect. - include the pixmaps in the executable (no need for /usr/local/share/whamp/ any more). - Do something about the ugly file-searching algorithm. - Try to port the equalizer used by mpg123 - Write a plugin structure to let other file types be played. (LONG-term planning !!) - Include gnome-drag-n-drop-support when gnome and its file manager become stable. - make it stop playing whenever the main program quits. - Let someone check the spelling of this document - Fix bugs. --- Wiebe Zoon 4516@student.thrijswijk.nl 23 juli 1999.
