Rhythmbox is a GNOME2 app which is quite complicated to build. Here is |
| 2 |
what I had to do to get things to work. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
Most of the dependencies for this are GNOME2, so you need GNOME2 |
| 5 |
installed. The two other packages that dont come with GNOME2 are; |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
monkey-media-0.5.0 |
| 8 |
gst-plugins-0.4.0 |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
monkey-media and gst-plugins both need gstreamer. I installed the |
| 11 |
0.4.1-r1 version that is masked next.This builds fine on ppc. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
monkey-media is also masked but builds fine on ppc. There is a mistake |
| 14 |
in the ebuild file tho which lists the dependency for gstreamer as being |
| 15 |
for version 0.3.4 when monkey-media requires gstreamer 0.4.0 (or |
| 16 |
higher). |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
gst-plugins unfortunately has a few x86 specific dependencies. I got |
| 19 |
thins to build by manually testing and checking out each of the |
| 20 |
dependencies to see which had x86 code. The x86 dependencies I commented |
| 21 |
out in the ebuild file were; |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
jpeg (mjpegtools, jpeg-mmx) |
| 24 |
avifile |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I also commented out the following as I didnt want alsa or kde; |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
alsa-lib |
| 29 |
jack-audio-connection-kit |
| 30 |
arts |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I also installed the 0.4.1 version of gst-plugins. The following is the |
| 33 |
list of working dependencies for this; |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
gstreamer-0.4.1 |
| 36 |
gconf-1.2.0 |
| 37 |
mad |
| 38 |
flac |
| 39 |
libdv-0.9.5 |
| 40 |
libvorbis |
| 41 |
libogg |
| 42 |
lame |
| 43 |
cdparanoia |
| 44 |
hermes |
| 45 |
openquicktime |
| 46 |
esound |
| 47 |
gnome-vfs-2.0.1 |
| 48 |
libmikmod |
| 49 |
libsdl |
| 50 |
libpng-1.2.3 |
| 51 |
libdvdnav |
| 52 |
ladspa-sdk |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Last I installed rhythmbox. This is masked and builds and runs very |
| 55 |
nicely on ppc. |
