Installing Banshee 1-1.7.3 from source in Gentoo amd64
I am attempting to install Banshee 1-1.7.3 in Gentoo. So far I cannot find an ebuild (any links would be greatly appreciated) so I am attempting to install it from source. However I am getting stuck at the first hurdle; when I attempt the ./configure command all the dependencies check out OK, but I then get this error message at the end:
Quote:
./configure: line 12014: SHAMROCK_EXPAND_LIBDIR: command not found
./configure: line 12015: SHAMROCK_EXPAND_BINDIR: command not found
./configure: line 12016: SHAMROCK_EXPAND_DATADIR: command not found
./configure: line 12018: BANSHEE_CHECK_LIBBANSHEE: command not found
./configure: line 12019: BANSHEE_CHECK_GSTREAMER: command not found
./configure: line 12021: BANSHEE_CHECK_GSTREAMER_SHARP: command not found
./configure: line 12023: BANSHEE_CHECK_NOW_PLAYING_X11: command not found
./configure: line 12025: syntax error near unexpected token `0.17.3'
./configure: line 12025: `SHAMROCK_CHECK_GNOME_DOC_UTILS(0.17.3)'
The reason that I am wanting this version of banshee is to use the Amazon MP3 plugin. Gentoo has an app for this in the portage repositories but it is hard masked for amd64
Alternatively if there is any other programs to allow me to download Amazon MP3s then I am open to suggestions.
A long time has passed since the last time I did this, so forgive me if I forget something. When you get those kind of errors, it's easier to port the old ebuild to the new version. Copy the 1.6 ebuilt to 1.7.3 in /usr/portage/media-sound/banshee, download the sources in /usr/portage/distfiles, change the name of the downloaded package and the version in the copied ebuild then "digest it"
Right then I've attempted the process above. Portage starts to install Banshee 1.7.3 but then I am greeted with these messages at the end:
