compile XMMS2

[hijinks]

So this will hopefully explain a bit on how to install xmms2. First for the bare min you need the following things installed. I'm doing this on a slackware-current install so things are always pretty current for me

 

Code:

* Python (http://www.python.org/) (>=2.2.1)
* SCons (http://www.scons.org/) (>= 0.96.90)
* GLib (http://www.gtk.org/) (>= 2.6.0)
* SQLite (http://www.sqlite.org) (>= 3.2.6)

 

So right off the bat.. i know i need to install SCons.. most likely you will also. So lets do that first

 

download and extract it

 

Code:

wget http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/scons/scons-0.96.1.tar.gz
tar zxfv scons-0.96.1.tar.gz
cd scons-0.96.1

 

Now lets build and install it. You will need to install it as root

 

Code:

python setup.py build
python setup.py install

 

Now I also needed the sqlite libraries and headers installed

 

So lets download it and extract it

 

Code:

wget http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-3.3.4.tar.gz
tar zxfv sqlite-3.3.4.tar.gz
cd sqlite-3.3.4

 

Now lets compile and install it.

 

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

 

Now lets download xmms2

 

Code:

wget http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/xmms2/xmms2-0.2DrCox.tar.bz2
tar xfj xmms2-0.2DrCox.tar.bz2
cd xmms2-0.2DrCox

 

Now lets install it

 

Code:

scons PREFIX=/usr
scons PREFIX=/usr install

 

now you can run xmms2d and then xmms2

well xmms2 is a client/server model.. not just like the old one. If you run xmms2 it is like command line online..

 

Here are some GUI clients you can install to use the xmms2 server
