Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] [Final Report] Rhythmbox iPod/MTP Syncing

[giopas <linux giopas eu>]

Hi all,

thanks to Jonathan, Loïc, Paul and Sven (

 ) I've finally come over compiling rhythmbox with Paul's patch on a Debian (unstable) package.

The package seems to be 100% correct. However it seems to me that, even
if the patch is duly applied, rhythmbox cannot "see" Paul's
enanchements when I connect an Ipod. Maybe there is a defined argument
to add to ./autogen.sh.

However, here below you can find the step-to-step procedure I've tested on 2 different Debian SID as well as a link to the package I've made.

1. install dev libraries and headers in order to solve all required dependencies:

> # aptitude install gnome-common dh-make libglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev gtk-doc-tools libgconf2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libsoup-gnome2.4-dev libsoup2.4-dev libtotem-plparser-dev libgnome-media-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-gl0.10-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev devscripts

2. ~$ git clone git://git.gnome.org/rhythmbox rhythmbox
3. ~$ wget http://www.paulbellamy.com/gsoc/sync.diff

3. ~$ mv rhythmbox/ rhythmbox-0.12.4-2/
4. ~$ cd rhythmbox-0.12.4-2/
5. ~$ git apply ../sync.diff -v

6. ~$ dh_make --createorig -e <username>@<email>.com -n -copyright gpl
7. ~$ ./autogen.sh

At the end you will obtain something like:

> configure: Rhythmbox was configured with the following options:
> configure: ** Tree database is enabled
>
> configure: ** Multimedia keys support is enabled
> configure:    MusicBrainz support is disabled
> configure:    iPod integration disabled
> configure:    MTP integration disabled
> configure:    CD burning support disabled
>
> configure: ** DAAP (music sharing) support is enabled
> configure:    libnotify support is disabled
> configure:    GUdev support disabled
> configure:    Python plugin support disabled
> configure:    Vala plugin support disabled
>
> configure:    gnome-keyring support disabled
> configure: ** FM radio support enabled
> configure: ** iTunes detection browser plugin (for podcasts) enabled
> configure: End options
> Now type `make' to compile rhythmbox

8. ~$ debuild binary
9. ~$ cd ..
10. # dpkg -i rhythmbox-0.12.4_2_i386.deb

You can find the package that I've prepared on http://www.giopas.eu/rhythmbox-0.12.4_2_i386.deb

Hope it helps!!

enjoy, ;)
