Audacious - OLD, PLEASE USE GITHUB DISCUSSIONS/ISSUES

You'll need to get all the dependencies installed before you move on to any other steps. Right now, it sounds like you are missing at least automake.

"libgl1-mesa-dev-lts-utopic" is a package that's specific to Ubuntu 14.04; you'll need to look for some other version of "libgl1-mesa-dev-" on 15.04.

I think I have solved the libgl1-mesa by installing a dev version of a package in the tool chain. I won't know until I compile.

I installed automake and got a bit further. It failed on glib-2.0. I installed glib-2.0, but now it still fails on glib-2.0 saying that the version I installed is not >= v2.32.

For glib-2.0, what exact package and version did you install?

Success!! This was about hunting dependencies. The naming conventions and the error report does not make it easy but Google is your friend. Just be prepared to search a little different.

At the bottom of this post is a list of what I THINK I installed. This is an edit from my bash history so I may have left something out or included one that did not work.

In the end I now have the git version (3.8) running on my pi while the official install would give me v3.52.

Kudos to the Audacious team and John Lindgren in particular. Audacious is without the best player for my purposes. The silence removal combined with the crossfade makes for seamless playlist presentation that makes it sound as if someone is carefully selecting and mixing tracks. And now I can turn crossfade (and other plugins) on or off via the command line - life is good! Yeah!

1. When turning crossfade off it does not just turn off wthout effect. The current plang song is first faded out by the crossfade time and then snaps back. This is not my use case so I am not affected, but it sounds a bit weird.
2. On the Raspberry Pi, the configure script for the plugins came back with a list with yes and no next to the name of each plugin. Many of the plugins have a no and they do not show up so I assume the script tells me what is not going to be compiled and included and what not. Again, it's not important for me now, but I was wondering what determines if a plugin is compiled and included. For instance why is the audio cd plugin not available?

Installs I added to make the compile work(more or less):

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dev
sudo apt-get install automake
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
sudo apt-get install libmpg123-dev
sudo apt-get install libfaad-dev
sudo apt-get install libav-tools
sudo apt-get install libavcodec-dev
sudo apt-get install libavformat-dev
sudo apt-get install mupenplus-dev
sudo apt-get install libneon27-gnutls-dev

The CD audio plugin depends on libcddb2-dev and libcdio-cdda-dev, but again, package names may be slightly different for your system.
