TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. compiling, dependencies, etc 2. information for distributors ========================================================== 1. compiling, dependencies, etc * first you need to install dependencies. full list is provided at the end of this section for your convenience * you will need intltool to be installed. if you don't need translations -- run ./configure --disable-nls (in this case you won't need to install intltool, as long as the configure script is already generated) * if you want to build from git - install autotools and intltool, and run ./autogen.sh to bootstrap * run "./configure --help", and read it. * now you're ready to configure the build process -- run "./configure --prefix=/usr", and wait until it finishes. you may want to change prefix to another value. consult INSTALL file for more info. * make sure all plugins which you want have "Yes" status in the list that's printed by configure. if not -- install missing dependencies, and rerun configure. that is especially important for GTKUI, and ALSA or OSS plugins. make sure you have both. otherwise you won't get GUI and/or sound output. * after satisfying all dependencies, run "make -j5" (change -j number to suit your number of CPUs/cores, e.g. 5 is quite good for single CPU dual-core machines). it is a good idea to do it as normal user (this step doesn't require root privileges). * after build finishes, run "make install" as root full list of dependencies is below. most of them are optional, which means deadbeef will build and run without them, but to make it useful - you'd probably need at least GTK UI plugin and some audio codecs built. libsamplerate: for dsp_libsrc plugin (resampler) gtk+-2.0 >= 2.12 (+ gthread, + glib): GTK+ 2.0 user interface libsm: optional dependency for gtkui session client support libice: optional dependency for gtkui session client support alsa-lib: ALSA support libvorbis and libogg: for ogg vorbis plugin libcurl >= 7.10: for last.fm, vfs_curl (shoutcast/icecast), artwork plugins imlib2: for artwork plugin; see libjpeg and libpng below libjpeg and libpng: for artwork plugin (when imlib2 is not installed, or --disable-artwork-imlib2 is used) libmad: for mp3 plugin (mpeg1,2 layers1,2,3) libFLAC: for flac plugin wavpack: for wavpack plugin libsndfile: for sndfile plugin libcdio + libcddb: for cd audio plugin ffmpeg (libavcodec + libavformat): for ffmpeg plugin xlib: for global hotkeys dbus: for notification daemon support (OSD current song notifications) pulseaudio: for PulseAudio output plugin faad2: for AAC plugin zlib: for Audio Overload plugin (psf, psf2, etc), GME (for vgz) libzip: for vfs_zip plugin yasm: required to build assembly portions of ffap plugin on supported platforms (x86, x86_64) actual package names for your Linux distribution may vary. ========================================================== 2. information for distributors The Deadbeef player code is licensed under GPLv2, but this is not a requirement for plugins. Plugins don't link directly to deadbeef code, but are using special API header file which uses ZLib license.
