After
Gentoo and Slackware, now is the time for Ubuntu removing XMMS packages
from their repo. How SAD! And for those who still want XMMS installed
in their Ubuntu, here is the tip.
This this is originally written by Sartek and modified by me
Update your packages list
Now install build-essential
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Alright, now we need to install the XMMS’s dependencies
sudo apt-get install autotools-dev automake1.9 libtool gettext libasound2-dev libaudiofile-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglib1.2-dev libgtk1.2-dev libesd0-dev libice-dev libmikmod2-dev libogg-dev libsm-dev libvorbis-dev libxxf86vm-dev libxml-dev libssl-dev
Now create a working directory and change into that directory
Download XMMS sources:
wget http://xmms.org/files/1.2.x/xmms-1.2.11.tar.gz
Extract the file and enter the extracted directory
tar xvf xmms-1.2.11.tar.gz
cd xmms-1.2.11/
Run configure with –prefix=/usr
./configure --prefix=/usr
In my case (Intel Pentium Core Duo), I’ve enable CFLAGS options for processor optimization
CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gnutls=yes
You can simply use the command without the CFLAGS above, or if you
want to optimize the pidgin to suit your processor, you can refer to Safe_Cflags page (Gentoo.. uhukk..)
Now compile it and install it
Now lets create the shortcut in your Gnome Menu
Right click on your Gnome Menu, and click on Edit Menu and follow these pictures:
Finish! now just simply remove your build (working) directory
