User Reviews

  • Good product.
  • I have used butt on a Macbook Air and really liked it but I've never been able to get it to compile on my Ubuntu/Linux machine. My last try failed with a make problem with libcrypto - this is with version 0.1.20. I have Pop-OS 20.04 which is Ubuntu from System 76 and no luck compiling. I certainly rate the program highly and wish I could find a solution -- the Apple version comes as a DMG package and there are no install problems at all. -Daniel - thanks for the helpful response. I'll follow up and let you know when I've got it working.

    Hello tohasu, a missing libcrypto most likely means you have not installed openssl. Please install the libssl-dev packet. If you are still having issues, please have a look at the manual: http://danielnoethen.de/butt/manual.html#_install If it still fails, write me a mail. Best, Daniel
  • Hybrid-Analysis rates this program as malicious. Would never install. [https]://hybrid-analysis.com/sample/434e23c7274f685cca82ea8b511c2297c20b8d84967c21ba289004198230aab8

    This is a false positive. That website does even say that firefox is malicious... https://hybrid-analysis.com/sample/6148b023744f7774341122df93f51275724153dad609f53bcd2ee7c82fa69d9b
  • This program is excellent, and I've used it for years. I use it to stream our church audio to an icecast server so people can listen in. I really like the fact that it can record locally even when it's streaming.
