1 Installation and files

1.1 Installation

Some UNIX variants allready have Open Cubic Player in their packaging systems. If not, you are going to need to download the source and extract it.

wget http://stian.lunafish.org/ocp/ocp-0.1.22.tar.bz2 tar xfz ocp-0.1.22.tar.bz2

Please make sure that you have development-packages of the following libraries installed:

libmad libsidplay 1.x libvorbis / libogg ncurses Xlib libXpm

To compile and install do the following

cd ocp-0.1.22 ./configure && make install

If configure complains about any-missing headers/libraries, please consule the list above needed libraries.

1.2 Files

When OCP loads a module the information stored inside the file is read and stored in a special file( the module information cache.) Actually the cache splits up into three files:

If you delete these files all file information gathered is permanently lost.

The doc directory contains documentation files in various formats and release notes etc. You can safely delete this directory if you are running out of disk space.

1.3 OCP and ALSA (linux)

OCP doesn’t support ALSA directly, since OCP is written for OSS which is cross-platform. Please load snd-pcm-oss and snd-mixer-oss, to provide a legacy OSS interface from ALSA.
