For whom who doesn’t know what Open Cublic Player (ocp) is, this application is a pure console music player for DOS and *NIX based platform. It was one of the most popular app of the DOS era. Though lacking mouse control and a graphical user interface, many hackers/developers still prefer it to other GUI music players for its light overhead and rich features.
Today, I am delighted to announce that ocp Formula is officially committed into Homebrew repository. I’d like to thank Stian for the great app and for being patient with me on many emails back and forth on fixing nested functions compiling issues with gcc on OSX. To all console lovers out there, you can start trying out this great app right now:
$ brew update $ brew install ocp $ ocp
Bugs reports are greatly welcomed. Enjoy!

Looks cool.
It seems to be missing a dependency on libvorbis though:
configure: error: “vorbis libraries not found”
After ‘brew install libvorbis’ it works nicely.
Cheers,

Thanks Paul for spotting that. Fix is coming 🙂
P/S: Is there anything interesting you are hacking on now?
Nothing much right now – just full steam ahead on Learnable.
