Howto: Building exaile from source.
Update: All Dependencies should be fixed now.
First
ALT+F2 gnome-terminal, click run then

wget http://www.exaile.org/files/exaile_0.2.9b.tar.gz

Second
Extract from tarball

tar xvfz exaile_0.2.9b.tar.gz

Third
Grab the dependencies

sudo apt-get install build-essential dpkg-dev debhelper libgstreamer0.10-0 gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly python-gst0.10 gstreamer0.10-esd gstreamer0.10-alsa python2.4 python2.4-dev python2.4-gtk2 python-gtk2-dev python-glade2 python2.4-dbus python-pyvorbis python-mutagen python-pysqlite2 python-elementtree python2.4-gnome2-extras python-cddb streamripper

Forth
Go to the exaile folder

cd exaile_0.2.*

Fifth
Compile program

make

Sixth
Compile a debian package

sudo dpkg-buildpackage

wait for it to build

Seventh
Go to previous directory where the debian package generates

cd ..

Eighth
Install the package

sudo dpkg -i exaile*.deb

If it does not work when you go to run it. Do this but I didn't seperate everything. Just follow line by line.

cd ~/Desktop
wget http://janvitus.interfree.it/ubuntu/pool/dapper-upure64/main-amd64/python-mutagen_1.6-0ubuntu1~janvitus_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i python-mutagen_1.6-0ubuntu1~janvitus_all.deb
rm python-mutagen_1.6-0ubuntu1~janvitus_all.deb

I just want to say THANK YOU for the HowTo. I am using Feisty Fawn on this Machine and it installed perfectly for me following all the steps. If only alot more things (I'll catch hell for saying this) were explained in those terms to make it easier for New Members to install various things. Sally

I've got this error after the install:

ryu@rua:~/src/exaile_0.2.6$ exaile

    import mutagen, mutagen.id3, mutagen.flac, mutagen.oggvorbis
ImportError: No module named oggvorbis

[bionnaki]

what is the advantage of building from source rather than using the .deb from exaile.org ?

The install was going well until I had to compile on step 5. It keep telling me command not found heres what it looks like, did I miss a step somewhere?

what's the point in creating a .deb? why not just sudo make install after make ? seems like making a .deb is an unnecessary step.
