display anomaly with lame & osx 10.2 (jaguar)

hi all,

after i installed osx 10.2 and the attendant developer tools, i recompiled lame 3.92 with gcc 3.1. now, when i use lame, i get the following in my terminal window:

Code: [Select]
12100/12323  (98%)|    4:26/    4:31|    4:58/    5:03|   1.1861x|    0:05

(s/js lines truncated.)

note how the "live" line (showing progress, including % done), does not clear, but instead creates a new line. this is a snippet. the spawning of new live lines starts at about 12%, give or take -- the display runs normally prior to that.

oh, the resulting mp3s sound great, aps, as always.

this did not occur on my previous gcc3.1 compile of lame. i did a vanilla compile here -- no flags. i'm wondering if anyone else has seen this in other operating systems or has an inkling of why this display anomaly exists.

brett.

I had the same problem a few weeks ago. In my case it was just the default Terminal window settings (Terminal:Preferences:Window Settings...then use the pop-up menu to get to the window panel.) Apple made a few changes in the Terminal app to improve the text display (among many other things.)

Just make the window a bit wider, either in the panel or by resizing it manually, and the line will refresh as before.

btw, NMP3 Ripper has been updated to work in 10.2 Immensely handy little bit of code.

I have been ignoring this display problem for quite a while now, but I was thinking about looking into solving it now.  It seems that it is a problem with the newline character since $<3> seems to be showing up at the end of all the histogram lines.  For now, i just use --nohist and it's not so annoying, but it would be nice to have the histogram info to look at.  Any programmers know where to start looking for the problematic code?

well, due to the apparent outpouring of need for a solution to this problem  ...LAME vbr histogram displays perfectly is you use it under apple's X11.  NONE of the window settings in terminal seem to keep it from displaying $<3> at the end of each line.  Another piece of info for anyone who cares is this: when i ssh in from a unix (solaris) machine and run lame, the display is fine on the unix box.

Hopefully someone can help me and the other 3 mac users out there.

I just figured this out a couple of weeks ago. This problem can be easily remedied by going into the window settings and selecting the buffer section and then unclicking the checkbox that states "wrap lines that are too long."

that's hardly a solution since the <3>'s remain at the ends of the lines and now we've added a problem where i cannot put in long commands. Since I have all my music on a separate HD, this is no good.  What we need to find out is what is the difference between Apple's X11 and applel's terminal that makes the <3>'s dissapear.
