The Smurf Sound Font Editor is available for download on the SourceForge file release page .
There are 3 packages available with each release of Smurf.

  • i586.rpm: These are binary RPMs that I've compiled on my system which is currently Mandrake 7.2 with GTK+-1.2.8, glibc-2.2.1, audiofile 0.2.0, libpng-1.0.8 and zlib-1.1.3. These binaries are compiled WITHOUT ALSA support.
    Chances are these won't work for you, so grab a source package instead :)
  • src.rpm: These are source RPM packages that are convenient for compiling a binary Smurf RPM for your system. Just execute "rpm --rebuild smurf.x.xx.x-x.src.rpm" (as root) and if everything goes well you should end up with a binary RPM in your RPM build tree (often /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/[arch] or /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/[arch] on most systems, where [arch] is your architecture).
  • tar.gz: These are just tar gzipped source archives. Like source RPMs you can also make a binary RPM, but you execute "rpm -tb smurf.x.xx.x.tar.gz" instead. If you want to compile the source manually, extract the tar.gz to a suitable location and follow the directions in the INSTALL file. Or just "./configure ; make ; make install" if you don't read documentation :)

CVS tips

You can grab the latest and greatest (hopefully) from CVS. Just follow the directions for anonymously checking out Smurf. Make sure you replace modulename in the "co" (checkout) CVS command, like this:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.smurf.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/smurf co smurf

I try to keep the CVS version of Smurf in a usable state. If its been a while since the last Smurf release, chances are there are developements occurring in CVS :)
