[Banshee-List] iPod support with cvs HEAD (0.11.x)

["Matt Philmon" <mattisking gmail com>]

I run on Ubuntu Dapper/Edgy and I'm unable to get iPod support going. The
version of libipoddevice installed on Dapper/Edgy is 0.4.5. Of course I've
read the various changelogs... that the version dependency in ipod-sharp was
bumped to force require the new version of libipoddevice and I can't get the
latest banshee to accept the slightly older version of ipod-sharp
(libipod-cil).

So, the trouble is that I cannot build libipoddevice from CVS (0.4.6). I've
tried all kinds of things that normally help me get around these kinds of
problems... I've found usually it involves switching back to automake
1.7instead of
1.9 but in this case that didn't help. Every time I try to ./autogen.sh I get:

$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
/usr/bin/gnome-autogen.sh

Any ideas? Anyone know when 0.4.6 is planned for release? I really
want to try out the new banshee stuff with my iPod.
