Create a .bep file for Haikuporter to build gogo encoder

completed by: skycocker

mentors: Philippe Saint-Pierre, Jérôme Duval, mmu_man, Siarzhuk Zharski

This task requires creating a .bep file to allow Haikuporter to build from source code the listed package.  You will need a working installation of Haiku, this could be on real hardware or in a VM, and haikuporter which can be installed by following the install instructions at HaikuPorts

Some knowledge of C, C++ may or may not be required in order to complete this task.  Knowledge of the GNU autotools and/or cmake may also be helpful.  The package may or may not require some patching to get it to work on Haiku.  For these cases don't be afraid to ask for help.  Many compile issues can be figured out by reading through the various wiki pages at HaikuPorts.  Also google (or other web search engine) may be of help in finding solutions to build issues that you may run into, irc channel #haiku on freenode might also be of help.  Be sure to follow the correct format for creating your .bep file, including the license and copyright entries.

This is an mp3 encoder much like lame.  This code has been compiled on BeOS years ago, but there's so far no compiled version for Haiku.  This one might take a bit of troubleshooting, so if you think you are up for a little challenge, this one might be for you.
