Re: [Banshee-List] Banshee doesn't even start on mac (10.9.3)

To get on the IRC channel you’ll need an IRC client. There are web clients available such as https://kiwiirc.com/client (in this, pick a nickname then type in #banshee in the channel entry. Click the “server and network” dropdown and in the server entry type irc.gimp.net).

As of last night the packages we have gotten the base dependencies for Banshee including Mono and GStreamer to compile. We just need a few Mono dependencies to be able to build Banshee. So today I will look at those. I will also go over the GStreamer dependencies to ensure we have the right plugins and support libraries.

#### Still to do

Figure out if the gconf-dummy package is still needed, though I doubt it with moving to GSettings. I’ll still fix it though to allow building GNOME2 platform stuff. For now it is disabled and it has not hindered compilation the slightest.

Tango-icon-theme, I disabled the png creation features. If they turn out to be needed I’ll have to apply a patch to it and figure out why autoreconf fails. Back burning for now.

## The Banshee Community Extensions dependencies

fftw, libsamplerate, libsdl, libglade

Here fftw is proving to be difficult to get to build, neither Stephan or I have been able to get it to build cleanly yet. libsamplerate should compile cleanly but we need fftw support in the package so it’s held up. 
I have not yet attempted libsdl or libglade, the latter I suspect might be a problem (or it might even have been replaced entirely for GNOME3, not sure).

## The webkit dependencies
gperf, enchant, webkit

No idea how hard this will be, pref and enchant are likely easy. webkit could be tricky though. At any rate I will save these for last as we don’t ship the webkit parts on non-Linux presently. 

## The Mono dependencies
dbus-sharp, dbus-sharp-glib, taglib-sharp, mono-upnp, monomac, gtk-mac-integration

These should be fairly easy.

Leaving only Banshee itself and Banshee Community Extensions.

I am also nervous about the cmake and taglib packages. Cmake is rather new to me and it doesn’t fit in naturally with bockbuild (e.g. cmake tends to bail out if it hits arguments it doesn’t know such as —enable-debug, arguments bockbuild exports as part of its design) As this is only two packages I don’t think it is worth rearchitecting bockbuild to be aware of both systems, but we will need to make sure that they work correctly for 32-bit and 64-bit builds.

And there’s the elusive universal build to contend with, as well as working with upstream to integrate our new packages. And migrate to the new staged builds in bockbuild master, though this feels broken upstream presently.

#### Done 
Meaning it compiles on my machine.

## All the toolchain 
autoconf, automake, tar, xz, libtool, gettext, pkg-config, libarchive, ncurses, cmake, bison. 

## All the base packages
libpng, libjpeg, libxml2, libffi, libtiff, freetype, fontconfig, pixman, glib, libcroco, cairo, pango, atk, intltool, gdk-pixbuf, util-macros, libepoxy, gtk+3, libgpg-error, libgcrypt, gmp, nettle, gnutls, intltool, glib-networking, sqlite, libsoup

## All the theme packages
librsvg, icon-naming-utils, hicolor-icon-theme, tango-icon-theme

## All the codec packages 
libogg, libvorbis, flac, libtheora, speex, wavpack, taglib, lame

Though we can’t ship lame (due to patents)

## All the GStreamer packages
liboil, orc, gstreamer, gst-plugins-base, gst-plugins-good, gst-plugins-bad, gst-plugins-ugly

## Some of the Mono packages
mono, gtk-sharp3, mono-addins-gtk3

## Some of the webkit dependencies
zlib, libicu

Hi David, 
Thanks for your prompt and timely email. Honestly I am so happy to get this update.  I was regretting the switch to Mac because I love banshee to the full. 

It seems the link to the irc channel is faulty. Could you give me the correct one? 

I have been following the repo to keep up to date with the changes, still can't tell if its possible to compile the required dependencies and get the build environment running. Either way am so excited to hear this and am very grateful that you and your team are working hard to make a great media player. 

Keep up!

Kind regards,
Alvin

I am mentoring two GSoC students working on Banshee this summer. One of them, Stephen Sundermann, is working on making Banshee on OS X rock.

Currently we are ensuring that the build environment is functional and up to date. We are focusing on creating a gtk3 based build, aiming at shipping Banshee 3.0. So presently we are in kind of a flux state.

You can follow the progress here.


Essentially to get a build environment up and running you need to checkout that repo, go to the profiles/banshee directory and run ./darwin.py -bvr but it will likely fail to compile the required dependencies right now. Also the resulting Banshe build is based off master which is not in a releasable state right now.

I hope that we can get the build environment sorted out in the coming days, progress today has been very promising. We are hanging out on #banshee on irc.gimp.net if you want to help out or just follow along.

The other piece of good news is that Andres is my second student and he will be ensuring that Banshee 3.0 can finally be released.

I apologize for the lack of communication but I forgot to inform the community in the excitement of getting this work off the ground.

- David

Hi Timo Dorr,
Could we get some help with this issue of running Banshee on Mac? I moved
from linux to Mac and I can't stand any of the players on OS X.

Give us some instructions be it installing, compiling or running the code.
Am a geek like you and I can handle it. Let's help each other out.

Thanks,
Alvin
