Whaaw! Media Player installation instructions. Written by Jeff Bailes. Before you try to install or run Whaaw! Media Player you should check that you have all the required dependencies, these include: python >= 2.5 pygtk >= 2.10 gstreamer-python >= 0.10 gstreamer-good >= 0.10 (for the videobalance and goom plugins) pyxdg Optional dependencies include: dbus-python >= 0.80 ? (Not too sure about the version) I think that's about it (well, the ones I know about), the package names may differ depending on your distribution, you will also need other gstreamer packages depending on the type of media you wish to play. NOTE: Installation is not needed to use/test whaawmp. It can be run fine by just running './whaawmp.sh'. Though if you really want to install it there is an easy way to install it, but there's no easy way to uninstall. See the end of this file for a list of locations which files are installed to. Now, onto the building etc etc. -To compile & install the files use ./make.py install --There are --prefix and --root options (see ./make.py --help for more information) -For checkinstall run: 'checkinstall ./make.py install' eg. To install to /usr: ./make.py install --prefix=/usr To run it afterwards, use whaawmp to start Whaaw! Media Player. A list of files installed, and should be removed if uninstall is required: (prefix=/usr by default) ${prefix}/bin/{whaawmp, whaaw-thumbnailer} ${prefix}/lib/python-${pyver}/site-packages/whaawmp-${whaaw-ver}-py${pyver}.egg-info ${prefix}/lib/python-${pyver}/site-packages/whaawmp (entire directory) ${prefix}/share/whaawmp.desktop ${prefix}/share/local/*/LC_MESSAGES/whaawmp.mo (list of languages in po dir) ${prefix}/share/pixmaps/whaawmp.svg ${prefix}/share/thumbnailers/whaaw-thumbnailer.desktop ${prefix}/share/whaawmp (entire directory) Any queries see the FAQ: http://home.gna.org/whaawmp/faq.html Otherwise, see me on irc: #whaawmp on irc://irc.oftc.net
