HOWTO: Build Audacious media player from SVN!

[hexo1125]

For those who want stable audacious 1.3.2 add the following to sourcelist:
#### Morgoth Feisty Backports ####
deb http://morgoth.free.fr/ubuntu edgy-backports main
deb-src http://morgoth.free.fr/ubuntu edgy-backports main

works both for edgy and feisty - arch x86

GPG Key

wget -O - http://morgoth.free.fr/files/morgoth-signkey.gpg.asc | sudo apt-key add -

By the way, here's a full fix for your howto, with this all plugins and options will be available in audacious;
(tested on Feisty x86)

Thank you, i updated the first post according to your information!

hexo1125,
Are you sure you have libmad0-dev ?
You may need libmad0 also, not sure

By the way what I wrote earlier is aimed towards gnome, so KDE and Enlightenment should make some minor changes.

Tine, thanks for your help.

I have the latest version of libmad0-dev already. BTW I'm running Xubuntu, if it matters.

It still doesn't work on my comp, altho everything seem to have compiled and installed properly.
I even tried the deb source Artificial Intelligence mentioned, and have the same result.

I think it's just my comp being weird.

I've had enough for now. I'll work on it again sometime later.

Thanks for the howto!!

Another option (which I prefer) - Download the stable source from their homepage: http://audacious-media-player.org/Downloads
just follow the guide but leave out the autogen stuff as it not needed there.
I'm not sure with XFCE, but leave out the --enable-gconf flag

Weird indeed.
Maybe you try this:
go to audacious-devel directory, then try this:

sudo svn up -r 4442
sudo make distclean
sudo sh autogen.sh
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install

I got it. Thanks Tine!

I was stuck at the code for audacious-plugins-ugly until I added the following line(begins with "***"):

cd ~/Desktop
svn co http://svn.atheme.org/audacious-plugins/ugly-trunk audacious-plugins-ugly-devel
***cd Desktop/audacious-plugins-ugly-devel
./autogen.sh
./configure 
make
sudo make install/

I gave up and downgraded back to the one in ubuntu repository. hahaha

BTW, how come I can't find the change log online?
What's new in the recent versions?
