Feature Request: Compilation options about ssr HOT 5 CLOSED

I will add a configure option, but are you sure that you want to disable it completely? libpulse is already a dependency of many other project and it's not very large by itself: it doesn't pull in PulseAudio on most distros AFAIK, is Gentoo different?

Your package (ebuild?) would be useful for other users as well, will they still be able to enable PulseAudio?

from ssr.

There's no package available only to include the libs in Gentoo. Pulseaudio libs is provided by media-sound/pulseaudio which provides the whole suite (depending on USE-flags). Some just don't like Pulseaudio that's all I know.

I'm using Pulseaudio myself and will continue to do so. Gentoo allows you to use USE-flags to decide what functionality you want in your package. So pulseaudio will be included as a useflag.

An ebuild describes the required/optional dependencies and how to build the package successfully.

I've updated the ebuild to support disabling/enabling pulseaudio and a few other options.

Thanks for providing us with a good screen recording program. Would help contribute if I had the knowledge.

You're welcome :).

I would like to add your overlay (if that's what it's called in Gentoo) to my website, is that okay? Should I just link to the github page and assume that Gentoo users know what to do with it? I have no experience with Gentoo.

I saw that your package is called 'ssr', I think it would be better to call it 'simplescreenrecorder' for consistency with the program name (/usr/bin/simplescreenrecorder) and the packages for Ubuntu and Arch. It would also reduce the risk of naming conflicts.

Also:

elog "To build these add 'media-video/ssr abi_x86' to package.use"

Shouldn't that be abi_x86_32?

It sounds great. Not worth keeping the ebuild to myself. I guess it should be enough to just add the overlay to your site. I might contact Gentoo to get the overlay listed in layman. It makes it even easier since then someone would just need to do "layman -a repository; emerge simplescreenrecorder" (they would probably want to set USE flags though) and every should be up and running.

I've renamed the ebuilds/package to simplescreenrecorder. Agreed. The name 'ssr' could easily lead to naming conflicts.

That's changed now. Thanks!
