Libraries and Languages
Cmucl
Fedora package
``CMUCL is a free implementation of the Common Lisp programming language which runs on most major Unix platforms. It mainly conforms to the ANSI Common Lisp standard.''
To install cmucl you need to type:
|
yum install cmucl
|
You can start the Common Lisp interpreter by running ``/usr/bin/lisp''.
Packages:
SBCL
Fedora package
``Steel Bank Common Lisp (SBCL) is a Open Source development environment for Common Lisp. It includes an integrated native compiler, interpreter, and debugger. SBCL works with Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD on x86 CPUs, and with Linux on Alpha and SPARC CPUs.''
To install sbcl you need to type:
|
yum install sbcl
|
You can start the Common Lisp interpreter by running ``/usr/bin/sbcl''.
Packages:
Clisp
Fedora package
``CLISP is a Common Lisp implementation by Bruno Haible, then of Karlsruhe University, and Michael Stoll, then of Munich University, both in Germany. It mostly supports the Lisp described in the ANSI Common Lisp standard. CLISP includes an interpreter, a compiler, almost all of CLOS, a foreign language interface and a socket interface. An X11 interface is available through CLX and Garnet. Command line editing is provided by readline.''
To install clisp you need to type:
|
yum install clisp
|
After installing it, you should be able to start the Clisp interpreter by typing ``clisp'' in a terminal.
Packages:
The Fox Toolkit
``FOX is a C++-based library for graphical user interface development FOX supports modern GUI features, such as drag-and-drop, tooltips, tab books, tree lists, icons, multiple document interfaces (MDI), timers, idle processing, automatic GUI updating, as well as OpenGL/Mesa for 3D graphics. Subclassing of basic FOX widgets allows for easy extension beyond the built-in widgets by application writers.''
|
yum install fox fox-devel

Or install also the example applications:
|
yum install fox-example-apps

Packages:
Libsndfile
Fedora package

ManPages: sndfile-convert, sndfile-info, sndfile-play
Packages:
Secret Rabbit Code
Fedora package
``Secret Rabbit Code (aka: libsamplerate) is a Sample Rate Converter for audio. One example of where such a thing would be useful is converting audio from the CD sample rate of 44.1kHz to the 48kHz sample rate used by DAT players.
SRC is capable of arbitrary and time varying conversions ; from downsampling by a factor of 12 to upsampling by the same factor. Arbitrary in this case means that the ratio of input and output sample rates can be an irrational number. The conversion ratio can also vary with time for speeding up and slowing down effects.''
|
yum install libsamplerate libsamplerate-devel
|
Packages:
Liblo
Fedora package
``liblo is an implementation of the Open Sound Control protocol for POSIX systems developed by Steve Harris.''
|
yum install liblo liblo-devel
|
Packages:
SoundTouch
Fedora package
``SoundTouch is a LGPL-licensed open-source audio processing library for changing the Tempo, Pitch and Playback Rates of audio streams or files. The SoundTouch library is suited for application developers writing sound processing tools that require tempo/pitch control functionality, or just for playing around with the sound effects.
The SoundTouch library source kit includes an example utility SoundStretch which allows processing .wav audio files from a command-line interface.''
|
yum install soundtouch soundtouch-devel
|
Packages:
Liboggz
Fedora package
``Oggz provides a simple programming interface for reading and writing Ogg files and streams. Ogg is an interleaving data container developed by Monty at Xiph.Org, originally to support the Ogg Vorbis audio format.''
|
yum install liboggz liboggz-devel
|
Packages:
Libfishsound
Fedora package
``FishSound (libfishsound) provides a simple programming interface for decoding and encoding audio data using the Xiph.Org codecs Vorbis and Speex.''
|
yum install libfishsound libfishsound-devel
|
Packages:
Phat
``PHAT is a collection of GTK+ widgets geared toward pro-audio apps. The goal is to eliminate duplication of effort and provide some standardization (well, at least for GTK+ apps).''
|
yum install phat phat-devel
|
Packages:
Libgig
``Libgig is a C++ library for loading Gigasampler files and DLS Level 1/2 files.''
|
yum install libgig libgig-devel
|
Packages:
Liblscp
``LinuxSampler Control Protocol library''
|
yum install liblscp liblscp-devel
|
Packages:
TSE3 (Trax Sequencer Engine)
``TSE3 is a powerful open source sequencer engine written in C++. It is a 'sequencer engine' because it provides the actual driving force elements of a sequencer but provides no form of user interface. Sequencer applications or multimedia presentation packages will incorporate the TSE3 libraries to provide a user with MIDI sequencing facilities.''
|
yum install tse3 tse3-devel
|
Packages:
Liblrdf
Fedora package
``Liblrdf is a library to make it easy to manipulate RDF files describing LADSPA plugins, it is primarily intended to be used by LADSPA plugin developers''
|
yum install liblrdf liblrdf-devel
|
Packages:
Libquicktime
Livna package
``Libquicktime is a library for reading and writing QuickTime files on UNIX systems. Video CODECs supported by this library are OpenDivX, MJPA, JPEG Photo, PNG, RGB, YUV 4:2:2, and YUV 4:2:0 compression. Supported audio CODECs are Ogg Vorbis, IMA4, ulaw, and any linear PCM format.
Libquicktime is based on the quicktime4linux library. Libquicktime add features such as a GNU build tools-based build process and dynamically loadable CODECs.''
|
yum install libquicktime

Packages:
Id3lib
Fedora package
``This package provides a software library for manipulating ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags. It provides a convenient interface for software developers to include standards-compliant ID3v1/2 tagging capabilities in their applications.

``The sound library is a collection of sound file and audio hardware handlers written in C, Forth, Scheme, Common Lisp, and Ruby, and running currently on SGI, Sun, Linux, Mac, HPUX, LinuxPPC, Mac OSX, and Windoze systems (but I'm not making any effort to keep the Windoze code going). It provides relatively straightforward access to many sound file headers and data types, and most of the features of the audio hardware.''
Packages:
Libmpeg3
Livna package
``Libmpeg3 supports advanced editing and manipulation of MPEG streams. MPEG is normally a last mile distribution format but with libmpeg3 you can edit it like a production format. Unless you have a need for MPEG editing and copying, you're better off using a consumer library like FFMPEG.''
A52dec
Livna package
``liba52 is a free library for decoding ATSC A/52 streams. It is released under the terms of the GPL license. The A/52 standard is used in a variety of applications, including digital television and DVD. It is also known as AC-3.''
