The id3lib by Dirk Mahoney (as opposed to the others of similar name)
id3lib-3.8.3- you know it's the right one because of the3.8.3and if the contents match- /usr/lib/libid3.a
- /usr/lib/libid3.so
- /usr/include/id3/tag.h
zlib
Mac OS X:
# ??? this doesn't seem to install anything
sudo port install id3lib
Ubuntu:
# libid3-3.8.3-dev
sudo apt-get install libid3-dev
OpenEmbedded:
bitbake libid3
# should produce packages in `${OE_HOME}/tmp/deploy/glibc/ipk/arm7a/` such as
# id3lib_3.8.3-r2.6_armv7a.ipk
# id3lib-static_3.8.3-r2.6_armv7a.ipk
# id3lib-dev_3.8.3-r2.6_armv7a.ipk
sudo opkg install id3lib-dev id3lib id3lib-static
id3lib appeared to be the only library with documentation easily googleable documentation.
