Need help compiling SharpMusique (iTunes for Linux)

black hole sun · 06-07-2005, 02:56 PM

I get this error when trying to make it:

Checking for System.Web.dll...no
make: *** [System.Web.dll.check] Error 1

Apparently it is a part of Mono. I installed the binary in /opt/mono-1.x

Dont understand why it isnt finding it...I put /opt/mono/bin in my PATH and I put /opt/mono/lib in ld.so.conf / ran ldconfig.

Help!

Where is the file that it says it cant find located? Try searching the file system for the file and if its not present then you will need to find a copy and put it somewhere in your ld.so.conf pathing.

I would give you the command needed if I was on a linux computer at the moment :P

Howdy,
I've never mastered the art of compiling yet, and I tried to find the install file in the tar.gz file I downloaded. I file rolled it and I clicked on the makefile file and gedit popped up with it's magic. Where to now? I tried the command: cd sharpmusique-0.3.1 and it's response was: no such file or directory. Does anyone have a direction for me to go?

extract the *.tgz file, CD to the new directory

NOW THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART:
READ THE README and INSTALL FILES....

Open a terminal and make the new directory your CWD

The most common commands you will have to use are as follows:

./configure
make
make install

Some don't require the ./configure command while others require an argument for the first make, EX.
make 537

Then you should be able to run the program. If the app won't start then inspect the Makefile to see where it installed it to.

you're right of course for most packages, but the funny part is:

sharpmusique source tarball has no README, has no INSTALL, has no configure script

a simple make should start the build
there's no make install

program starts here, but doesn't signup or login. searches are performed, but previews are not done with a vlc error.

haven't had time to really look into it yet

------ edit --------

righty, got it to play previews now, but using that godawfull hack to locally get vlc libs...

still no login / signup

Meh... SharpMusique works great here on Ubuntu Breezy (and on systems with comparable libraries). There is a workaround for the libvlc.sh script I needed though, and you might too.

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install bazaar cvs subversion make gcc mono mono-mcs\
 libmono-dev gtk-sharp2 automake automake1.6
$ baz register-archive http://nanocrew.net/arch
$ baz get jon@nanocrew.net--archive/sharpmusique--trunk
$ cd sharpmusique--trunk--1.0--patch-5/sharpmusique/
# Next line is the cheap libvlc.sh patch (workaround), to generate a configure file
$ perl -pi -e 's#(\.\ \./bootstrap)#$1\nautoreconf\ -vif#' libvlc.sh && ./libvlc.sh
$ make
$ ./SharpMusique.exe

I am trying to install the .deb from Jon's website.
(I'd post the URL, but I can't until I post 4 more times)

On the Ubuntuguide dot org, there's instructions on "How to install/uninstall .deb files?" which say how to install .deb files.

So, the command I use is:
sudo -i dpkg sharpmusique_1.0-1_i386.deb

And the error I get is:
/usr/bin/dpkg: /usr/bin/dpkg: cannot execute binary file

(I'm new to Linux, but build and configure Windows PCs -- I am not afraid of Linux, just lost)

I have sharpmusique, which I was able to partially compiled. I was able to open an account and have spent about 12 bucks buying songs.

Anyway, it's been a while since I did this. Currently I have gtk-sharp, gtk-sharp2, mono-basic, mono-core, mono-data, mono-web, and mono-winforms. Probably more that what I needed. With all this you should be able to compile.

By the way, there is a minor bug on the original program. The fix and link

Also, you migth be able to extract the debian package and make it work without having to compile.

I'm confused -- I have to extract the .deb file?

I thought it was an install file.

jlo_sandog · 02-28-2006, 02:24 AM

I'm sure it's an installer for debian. Since I have FC4, I extracted the content using gui arc program. Then manually installed the libvlc.so file, which was all I needed. Previously I had compiled part of the program, but the vlc part didn't compiled. That's why I tried the .deb file and it worked.

all you need is
libvlc.so and sharpmusique.exe to go in /usr/local/lib/sharpmusique

and a script file sharpmusique to go in /usr/local/bin

If it's an install file, then what does the error I get mean?
