Pulseaudio header files under FC12

Question

Greetings,

I'm trying to make use of the Pulseaudio APIs under Fedora Core 12. To do a simple recording client, you're supposed to include these headers:

#include <pulse/simple.h>
#include <pulse/error.h>
#include <pulse/gccmacro.h>

However, I don't know where these files are under a stock FC12 installation. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, FM

Answer 1

According to the spec file, they're in the pulseaudio-libs-devel package (line 407).

Answer 2

$ yum whatprovides '*/pulse/simple.h'
pulseaudio-libs-devel-0.9.19-2.fc12.i686 : Headers and libraries for PulseAudio
                                         : client development
Repo        : fedora
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/include/pulse/simple.h

Once you yum install pulseaudio-libs-devel (or the same using the package mangler of your choice), you should be all set.

Keep in mind that you should use something like CFLAGS+=$(pkg-config --cflags libpulse-simple) LDLIBS+=$(pkg-config --libs libpulse-simple) for portability.
