Well, one note on that: The PDF was unnecessary, you could have attached the same information as plain text file.
(Hm, same goes for the HTML version of this eMail -- plain text is preferred for any textual information, especially on a mailing list.)

>   I'm writing because I have some problems when I'm trying to compile releases of the mpg123 from release v0.68. I compiled the mpg123 v0.68 for ARM and it works but after playing for a long time a streaming mp3 audio the system crashes due to some problems with the MP3 headers. I’ve attached a file with the errors.

Generall the http streaming is improved in the latest mpg123 (1.4.x), there were some problems with ICY support, specifically.
Though, a segfault should never happen, so I'd like to see this assured as fixed.
Parallel to getting 1.4 to work, one could compile 0.68 with -g in compiler flags and collect a meaningful core dump from the crash.

What is the problem/error message you get?

Nah, we want mpg123 to keep working for systems a _lot_ older than that;-)
Really, gcc 2.x, some obscure SunOS or AIX box ... it is expected to work. Plain C89/POSIX-ish.

The script looks fine so far... so what does it result in?
Building is essentially the same... you may choose to give --disable-shared, though.
That disables output plugins and the dynamic decoder library.
I suppose such stuff can complicate the cross build.


Alrighty then,

Thomas.
