Finding rocklight

#1 Post by Thinkpad4by3 » Mon Dec 17, 2018 2:58 pm

On thinkwiki there is a mention of the program "RockLight" that flashes the ThinkLight to the music. I want to get that but I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know of where to find it or an alternative program that does the same thing?

Thank you but mind my imcompetence at Linux here but I can't seem to get XMMS working. Is there a way to get a copy of it that is precompiled or how would I go about getting XMMS on a modern version of Ubuntu?

You could always check to see if something like the Internet Archive has kept a copy?

Without really looking too carefully at it, I assumed it was a tarball unzip function followed by a gcc / cmake-curses-gui compile and j(N) build function, but correct if that is the wrong logic because I haven't even downloaded the file xD
At this point building my own program would probably be easier.
