[mb-users] Picard on PowerPC Mac

[John Ruschmeyer]

I'm trying to build and run Picard on a PowerBook G4 running Mac OS X
10.5.8 (Leopard). Because Leopard shipped with Python 2.5.1, I installed
Python 2.7.8 from MacPorts as well as the MacPorts version of libdiscid and
a manually built version of Mutagen. The code builds with no issue and I
can start the GUI, but any attempt to scan a song generates the error:

E: 11:42:41 Fingerprint calculator failed error = No such file or
directory (0)

I seem to be able to perform other function on the file, however.

Is there anything in the fingerprint calculator that is Intel specific? Any
suggestions on how I would start to debug this?

Thanks...

Looks like you don't have fpcalc installed. fpcalc is a separate binary for
the fingerprinting, the sources can be found at
https://acoustid.org/chromaprint . You also have to set the path to fpcalc
in the Picard options (under Fingerprinting).

As long as it?s in your $PATH, it?ll work.

That was it. Basically, I needed to install ffmpeg from MacPorts and then
chromaprint.

Thanks for all the help.

Do you have the fpcalc executable? I?m assuming that?s what it?s missing?

(Not sure if that builds for PowerPC or not)
