AHI C examples under AmigaOS 4.1

Hi,

does someone have a working sample for AHI ?
I tried the samples in the latest release on os4depot.net and none compiles
error with smakefile:6: *** missing separator

I use gcc for compiling.

Hi. What example you need ? Playing of raw data or playing of mod files or mp3 playing ? Or you just need initialization example ?

First you can't use straight away an smakefile with GCC (i.e. you have to do some modifications into it).
Last this kind of error tells me you edited the file with CubicIDE and you didn't pay attention to tell him to keep spaces in the file. I'm sure if you go to line 6 in smakefile you'll find that it replaced your tabs by some spaces (which is forbidden in makefile format specification : any command line should be introduced by at least a tab).

I just uploaded the source code for my old OS4 Missile Command clone:
http://www.a500.org/downloads/games/misscmd-src_lha.readme

It has some functions for .wav sample loading and playback (using AHI) that may or may not be useful for you...

@kas1e :
A sample that :
-open
- play a raw sample from memory
- close AHI device
a bit like the SimplePlay sample available in the latest AHI developer archive on os4depot.net

@abalaban : I tried from newcli : make -f smakefile

@salass00 : Did you use AHI v4 or older ? SRC downloaded .. will check it.

I uploaded my source of ahi raw-sound "player" here.

That is some lame-crappy routines, which i use in the main code like that:

load_sound("PROGDIR:data/sounds/click.raw",0);
load_sound("PROGDIR:data/sounds/flip_page.raw",1);

play_sound(0);
play_sound(1);

and on exit stage just:

free(snd_buffer[0]);
free(snd_buffer[1]);


That routines spawn a new process by CreateNewProcTags, so, the player will have own process, and that will be better if for example make all just as one process.

That is not ready for using source example, but if you will have any problems with it, i can make it working over gcc on os4 tommorow (basically, that already works fine on aros's gcc, so i think no problems will be with that).


ps. I can be wrong, but "smakefile" - that is make file for old SASC / 68k. Not sure that it will be compiles by the modern make (but i can be wrong here). For you will be better just do command line compiling for tests (like: gcc file.c -o file -llibs , etc).

Ok Thank you.
I would appreciate if you can :)
I will check this.

Here is working os4/gcc example. I just play there 3 sounds and exit. Also I am pretty sure, there is something wrong with Wait()/etc stuff, but in general that works, and for begining and brief look will be imho ok :) Compilation string:
shell:> gcc play_ahi_raw.c

@kas1e
Thank you,
I will learn from this :)
