Hi can anyone make a metronome .pet for me.

There are quite a few Linux metronomes out there but I can't get one to work.

One with a choice of beeps or samples would be good.

Thanks

Have you tried Ndujoe1's gtick .pet here?

Thank you, I had found Gtick but it was a much older .pup and I couldn't get it working.

Installed and working Smile

on 5.2.5

Just installed it in 525 from Muggins post (above), and it works fine.

I compiled the attached gtk1-based metronome-0.1.1 but, although it starts up, doesn't appear to generate any sounds on my laptop...perhaps it might work for someone else?

Lastly, the commndline-based ctronome works. For options run:

And a curses based front-end to ctronome. Run [b]etronome[/b[ in a console.

here is a metronome using QT4 libs

I compiled statically, so you don't need to ahev QT4 libs on your system

*simply* download, make it executable and run clicking on it

Dingo, I just tried it in 525. All it did was beep three times and quit. Could not restart without closing it and double clicking it again. Then it just repeated the same performance

Sorry, mate, just re-downloaded, made executable. Same behavior. Tried it in a terminal. After the third beat, got:

Is working on p525. What md5sum do you have?

Thanks for suggestions. I tried to compile these two metronomes with my QT4 static environment, but I failed due to the dependency from libphonon.so

Debian Squeeze has libphonon.so and libphonon-dev but they call shared libs from QT4, while I have static

Dingo, just tried your metronome in 431 also. Same results as in 525. Just my system? Don't have time to troubleshoot right now, and gtick is working just fine.

Muggins, my md5sum is same as yours. Tried metronome in Puppy525, mediapup, luci246, wary511, and Puppy431. Result always the same -- four beats with or without first beat checked -- and then the error message:
