Arch Linux User Repository

I have now tried your variant and found that I have the same problem as if I were doing an installation under Wine.

The following error message is displayed:

The ASPI Interface could not be initalized correctly!

( ERROR E8h )

( No host adapters found )

I don't know how to get rid of this error, because I installed the same components as always and it worked before - or do others have this problem too?

I use EAC under Endevouros.

Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Thanks for reporting the packaging error, it should be fixed now.

This is not a port, just EAC extracted and repackaged to use with it’s own WINE prefix and some start script.

I think it's great that you want to port it to Linux, then I don't have to bother with Wine anymore.

Even if it doesn't work at the moment, because when compiling it broke off with the following message:

Will you also continue to develop EAC and add missing functions?

In any case, I wish you every success.

@evh5150 unless it is a packaging error, please be aware that I cannot change anything about issues in the software itself, or in cygwin, or in Wine.

When doing a clean installation make sure to also remove the ~/.exact-audio-copy folder in your home directory which is used as dedicated Wine prefix for EAC.

If the previous version worked for you, you can still access it here: PKGBUILD

Save as PKGBUILD in a folder, the run makepkg -si

I'm getting the following error on the latest version, and also after a cleanbuild.

'The ASPI interface could not be initialized correctly ! (Error E8h)

(o host adaptors found)'

Thank you for this! EAC is my go-to for ripping, and it's great to have in the AUR.

Is there a reason why the program version is in the program name (in the .desktop file)?

Tried with my drives and works fine, accurately ripped few CDs, except one issue: plugins are not working. I got only one metadata provider left, which is the built-in freedb engine. Although the other plugins' dll files a still in place, all other stuff like CTDB are gone. I suppose that's a bug?

I removed the prefix, updated from AUR with yay, and started up again. Loaded my profile config, and it appears to be working now without issues, and without needing any extra steps. Thanks for the fix!

Thank you for your comment. I tested the package with a fresh wine prefix and for some reason did not encounter this before.

I made a new release which skips MONO installation. No winetricks or dotnet or Win7 config required.

rm -r ~/.exact-audio-copy/ && eac

I do not have a CD drive atm so I cannot test all features. Feedback appreciated.
