Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] iTunesDB import

Hi

Seems we are working on the same thing, basically =3D)

I just finished my version 0.11 yesterday, downloadable from=20
http://orz.dyndns.org/stash/parsedb0.11.tar.gz ,
which parses the playlists as well as the tracks.

I would be very interested in the performance of your program, when run o=
n=20
the ipod. My port parses my 1600 track db with output to /dev/null in 85=20
milliseconds on my 1800MHz Athlon, but uses a whopping 30 seconds on the=20
ipod.

I have tried to build your program, but the ./configure script fails with=
:
	checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp
	configure: error: C++ preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
I guess I'm missing some package.

Anyway, good work, I'll probably discontinue work on the port if your=20
library turns out to be more efficient =3D)
