Do you have a phonon backend installed?
> pkg info -xD phonon-qt5
phonon-qt5-4.11.1:
On install:
Please, consider installing backends for Phonon:
- multimedia/phonon-gstreamer GStreamer backend
- multimedia/phonon-vlc VLC backend

I changed the configuration to check out "sounds" and was able to go up to repeating the sequence, but then got the core dumped. Then I did: pkg install gstreamer1-plugins-all Which install probably way too much packages: 167? But blinken now works with sound. I wish it would be easier for people installing the package (on XFCE... maybe on KDE it works, I don't know). (In reply to Paul Dufresne from comment #4) Moin moin The issue is that there are two valid back-ends for phonon -- so we cannot (well we could...) install one by default. So we rely on users to install one of the backends manually. I agree this is not nice, but there is no method to do this better in our packaging system at the moment. Ideally we would just pick one -- e.g. remove phonon-vlc and just force a dependency on phonon-gstramer... but then, someone would come forward who "really needs phonon-vlc", and... well that would break it again. Another option would be to have the runtime dependency on the backend optionified, and choosing one of them as default for the package builders (say gstreamer). This would be more felxible as users still could switch to the other one when building packages manually... but it would reduce the flexibility of the prebuilt packages; as as of now, you could (theoretically) switch the backend from the repo without any issues. mfg Tobias A commit references this bug: Author: adridg Date: Fri Jan 1 23:56:14 UTC 2021 New revision: 559891 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/559891 Log: Massage games/blinken This game needs sound (it is a variant of "Simon Says"), so remind people in the install message that sound is needed. While here, update the WWW link PR: 251628 Reported by: Paul Dufresne Changes: head/games/blinken/Makefile head/games/blinken/pkg-descr head/games/blinken/pkg-message I think the best we can do is an install message (which I just added) |
