Summary0000583: libopenmpt-0.2.4115-beta5: user interface in case of errors needs to be improved
Description

After compiling libopenmpt, I tried using openmpt123 to play some mods I had lying around.
Here's what I saw:

openmpt123 --info POPCORN.OKT

Usage: openmpt123 [options] [--] file1 [file2] ...

 --info                 Display information about each file
 --ui                   Interactively play each file
 --batch                Play each file
 --render               Render each file to PCM data

I know now that --render didn't work because I had compiled openmpt123 without flac, libsndfile and wavpack support. There was no useful error message though.
I still don't know why --ui and just giving the OKT file didn't work.

I thought that the OKT file was perhaps not supported, but saw the same behaviour with a MOD file; and after I compiled with libsndfile and flac support, I could use --render to create wav and flac files.

Please add/improve the error messages.

Sadly, as there are no error messages currently, I can only guess why playback did not work: Did you actually compile with SDL or PortAudio, otherwise audio playback is not supported.
Perhaps the Makefile failed to catch those up on NetBSD?

Error messages got added in r4216 now.

About SDL:
It seems that in 4115, SDL was default-off, and I didn't turn it on.
In 4216, it's default-on, so it works now. So this part is fixed.

About error messages:
The one for missing render support is fine:
error: file format handler 'wav' not found
error: file format handler 'flac' not found

The one for missing audio support is weird:
error: audio driver '' not found

Btw, I've verified all your other fixes, they work fine for me. I didn't want to reopen the bug reports just for confirmation, so I add this here :)
Thank you.

As of r4217, it now displays "error: openmpt123 is compiled without any audio driver".
Yes, SDL recently got changed to default-on.
Thanks for your useful bugreports!
