Installing XMMS on Ubuntu 8.04
Posted: May 25th, 2008 | Author: xanda | Filed under: IT Related | Tags: howto, ubtunu 8.04, xmms | 48 Comments »After Gentoo and Slackware, now is the time for Ubuntu removing XMMS packages from their repo. How SAD! And for those who still want XMMS installed in their Ubuntu, here is the tip.
This this is originally written by Sartek and modified by me
Update your packages list
sudo apt-get update |
Now install build-essential
sudo apt-get install build-essential |
Alright, now we need to install the XMMS’s dependencies
sudo apt-get install autotools-dev automake1.9 libtool gettext libasound2-dev libaudiofile-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglib1.2-dev libgtk1.2-dev libesd0-dev libice-dev libmikmod2-dev libogg-dev libsm-dev libvorbis-dev libxxf86vm-dev libxml-dev libssl-dev |
Now create a working directory and change into that directory
mkdir ~/build cd ~/build |
Download XMMS sources:
wget http://xmms.org/files/1.2.x/xmms-1.2.11.tar.gz |
Extract the file and enter the extracted directory
tar xvf xmms-1.2.11.tar.gz cd xmms-1.2.11/ |
Run configure with –prefix=/usr
./configure --prefix=/usr |
In my case (Intel Pentium Core Duo), I’ve enable CFLAGS options for processor optimization
CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnutls=yes |
You can simply use the command without the CFLAGS above, or if you want to optimize the pidgin to suit your processor, you can refer to Safe_Cflags page (Gentoo.. uhukk..)
Now compile it and install it
make sudo make install |
Now lets create the shortcut in your Gnome Menu
Right click on your Gnome Menu, and click on Edit Menu and follow these pictures:
Finish! now just simply remove your build (working) directory
cd ~ rm -dfr ~/build |
Haih… Event XMMS is not in the repo… seriously Ubuntu 8.04 is a mistake!
