Last update: 2002/07/04
1.Requirements:
===============
- GTK version highter than 1.2.7 (http://www.gtk.org) (Recommended: gtk+-1.2.10)
- id3lib version highter than 3.7.12 (http://id3lib.sourceforge.net) (Recommended: id3lib-3.8.0pre2)
- libogg and libvorbis (http://www.vorbis.com) (if not desactivated by './configure --disable-ogg')
- libc 6 (glibc 2.1) or better
- gettext (if not desactivated by './configure --disable-nls')
2.Compilation Instructions:
===========================
2.1. Before to compile EasyTAG you need to install some librairies.
2.1.1. To install id3lib :
- recompile sources of id3lib (id3lib-3.x.x.tar.gz) (Recommended),
- or install id3lib-3.x.x.i386.rpm and id3lib-devel-3.x.x.i386.rpm
then run the command 'ldconfig' to update shared library symlinks.
(Nota: to see if links have been updated, run the command 'ldconfig -p|grep libid3'
if all is ok, it'll return lines like this:
libid3.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libid3.so
libid3-3.8.so.0 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libid3-3.8.so.0 )
2.1.2. To install libogg and libvorbis :
Follow the same procedure as id3lib with the following packages :
- http://vorbis.com/files/rc2/unix/libogg-1.0rc2.tar.gz
- http://vorbis.com/files/rc2/unix/libogg-1.0rc2-2.i386.rpm
- http://vorbis.com/files/rc2/unix/libogg-devel-1.0rc2-2.i386.rpm
- http://vorbis.com/files/rc2/unix/libvorbis-1.0rc2.tar.gz
- http://vorbis.com/files/rc2/unix/libvorbis-1.0rc2-2.i386.rpm
- http://vorbis.com/files/rc2/unix/libvorbis-devel-1.0rc2-2.i386.rpm
2.2. Unpack the sources of EasyTAG with
> tar xfvz easytag-x.y.z.tar.gz
(x.y.z represents the version of package)
2.3. Change into the new directory
> cd easytag-x.y.z/
2.4. If you haven't gettext, edit Makefile and comment the line 'NLS=-DENABLE_NLS' by adding '#'
at the beginning of this line.
2.5. Compile and install the program
> ./configure
> make
# make install (You need root privileges)
Notes :
- If you want to compile EasyTAG with gcc3.x, you MUST install a version of id3lib compiled
with the same version of the compiler.
- If you have the both versions of gcc installed (2.9x and 3.x), use the command './configure CC=gcc3'
for compiling with gcc3.
You may now run the program by simply typing "easytag".
(Of course the directory in which you installed it (usually /usr/local/bin) has to
be in your PATH)
3.RPM Building Instructions (RedHat 6.x 7.x):
=============================================
If you prefer manipulate a RPM, you can build it with the following commands:
3.1. Build the RPM
# rpm -tb easytag-x.y.z.tar.gz
or
# rpm --rebuild easytag-x.y.z.src.rpm
or
copy easytag-x.y.z.tar.gz into directory /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES, get easytag.spec
into tarball, and run:
# rpm -bb easytag.spec
3.2. If succeed, you will found the rpm in /usr/src/redhat/RPM/i386/
4.Addind a new translation file to EasyTAG:
===========================================
All catalogs are placed into po/ directory and are named as the following: fr.po for
France, de.po for Germany, and so on.
The catalogs which will be compiled with EasyTAG are set into configure.in file, into
field ALL_LINGUAS. If you have created a new translation file for your location, and
want to test it, add the corresponding code (xx for file xx.po) to this field.
Then run the script: ./autogen.sh before to recompile program (see instructions of
paragraph 2).
5.Applying a patch:
===================
1. Unpack the sources,
2. Go into the directory where you unpack sources (the parent directory of easytag-x.y.z directory)
3. Put the patch file in this directory
4. Apply the patch:
for example:
> cat patch-0.4-0.4a | patch -p0 (if patch file was named: patch-0.4-0.4a)
(Note: the pacth file (of above example) is a diff file made with command:
diff -ruN easytag-0.4/ easytag-0.4a/ > patch-0.4-0.4a
in the directory where are locate easytag-0.4 and easytag-0.4a directories)
5. Recompile program.
