NOTE: this tutorial will be improved, eventually. ~~ilikenwf

First, pull down the sb-trunk-oldxul branch from my git tree if you're comfortable with git and want to use about a gig of space, or just get the tarball: https://github.com/nightingale-media-pla...unk-oldxul

Then, run build.sh.

Code:

./build.sh

But I'd like to have other people try this one, so that I can make sure it builds well on everyone's distro/architecture.

Notes:
*To build, you need to have all of the gstreamer0.10 packages for your distro, svn, wget, and git (if pulling the tree down) installed, as well as the usual dependencies for building software upon your distro.

*If it gets python errors, make sure you have python2 installed, and try the build.sh script again.

*If it doesn't play music, you'll need to copy /usr/lib/gstreamer0.10/* into compiled-dist-linux-[your arch]/dist/gst-plugins and then rerun nightingale. It should then play music.

Perfect, I was just about to try building the iPod extension on Ubuntu and was looking for these! =)

Feel free try try, but I am very confident it will fail miserably . the iPod extension requires a large amount of work to get back into working state.

I realise that. But I just got an iPod Touch and after a week of it screwing over my music collection I now loathe iTunes, which is why I am making it my main summer project. I am thinking GNU/Linux development should be much easier since libgpod, libimobiledevice etc. are actually designed to run on that; I have been trying to compile the latest libgpod on Windows (minus iPhone etc. support from libimobiledevice) and have managed to wade through missing libraries and dependency errors to get up to the linking stage, where I am now stuck =(

Running archlinux, I'm unable to build - I'm pretty sure I have all of the equivalent deps...

Hmm, it looks like there is something missing with your python install? If you are building with the i686 I know there were some libraries missing recently, I am working to rectify that.

[ilikenwf]

Nah...it's 64 bit.

Receiving the following error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Note Songbird 1.8 installed currently.

Having Songbird 1.8 installed should not be a problem as they keep within their own directories.

That issue is for a missing library, and currently the dependencies directories on SVN are missing most of the library files, so I'm not sure how you even got it to compile before! If this is your only issue, you can get around it by telling the compiler to use the system's Gstreamer media core instead of its own files (so it won't be looking for that one any more), by creating a songbird.config file in the base directory of the code (same directory as songbird.mk) with the following line:

ac_add_options --with-media-core=gstreamer-system

This is what I've got.
