xUbuntu 12.10 and kaffeine 0.8.8 ??? Mission impossible ?

**echosmart** · March 4th, 2013

Hi !

I'm using xubuntu 12.10, and i'm want to install kaffeine 0.8.8, and not possible.
I'm find deb package for this version and not have dependecies for install. I'm triing to install from ppa, and not work.
I'm triing to compile from tar.gz archieve, and not install again.

Only the last version is possible to install v.1.2.2

This version not have posibility to using external plugins, only the 0.8.8 version.

I'm not have possibility to install kaffeine 0.8.8 in xubuntu 12.10 ???

Thank in advance for all response !

Soory for my bad english !

This could get a bit tricky but you should be able to do it by installing kdelibs-bin, then unpacking and compiling the source code contained in the 0.8.8 tarball.

And how to make this for a linux newbie ?

**cortman** · March 4th, 2013

I would say a Linux newbie should probably use Audacious or some other gtk media player with his Xubuntu, rather than mess with installing a ton of unnecessary QT stuff.
Without actually doing it myself (don't want to mess up my good Vbox!) you should install kdelibs-bin-

Code:

sudo apt-get install kdelibs-bin

then unpack the kaffeine 0.8.8 tarball. Navigate to the directory of the unpacked files in the terminal, and run

Code:

./configure

If you get an error here, run

Code:

sudo apt-get build-dep kaffeine

Then run

Code:

make install clean

Can't guarantee this will work but you can try it.

in terminal this is the problem:

Code:

what is the problem in this case ?

**cortman** · March 5th, 2013

OK, honestly I'm not comfortable going much further with this- my compiling skills are pretty low and I really don't like the way the scheme looks anyway. You may want to try getting help in the Kubuntu forums, or wait here till someone more knowledgeable than me comes along.
