Details

When trying to upgrade the gst-plugins to 0.8.7, I hit a bug in libmusepack. The version upgrade from 1.0.3 to 1.0.3.1 is a weird one. The changelog says something about "some API changes" and "Ported to use pure C code".
The source comes from some weird polish mirror I can't reach and the musepack.net site doesn't speak about any newer releases than 1.0.3.

Please downgrade back to 1.0.3 or give us an explanation about the source of this weird package. I sureley don't trust it.
This task depends upon

1.0.3 is broken for the main glib2 archlinux uses

1.0.3.1 solves this

have a look at:

xmms-musepack compiles fine with the old libmusepack 1.0.3, but you need to do one sed expression because of a weird error in the Makefile.in:

sed -i -e 's/@GLIB_2_0_CFLAGS@//g' src/Makefile.in

This removes the last piece of glib 2.x stuff out of xmms-musepack.

Please downgrade libmusepack again and change the xmms-musepack package to do this sed operation before running configure (duh :P), then xmms-musepack should compile without problems.

The problem with the SVN snap you took is that it is far from finished, there is not a single bit of compatibility to programs that use the "old" mpc_dec.h and mpc_enc.h headerfiles. I wonder if it will compile with C++ programs in this state, I have my doubts.

libmusepack 1.0.3.1-2 is in fact 1.0.3-2

it should work now

libmusepack /usr/include/musepack/mpc_dec.h
libmusepack /usr/include/musepack/mpc_math.h

yes, I was missing those in 1.0.3.1-1 ;)
