Best place to download Squeezeplay?

[itm]

Can anyone recommend a version of Squeezeplay which works with Windows 10? I have an old beta version installed which often fails to refresh the "Now Playing" information, so was hoping that there was a version out there that has fixed this. I've tried downloading from the @Ralphy site, but it failed, saying that I needed authentication.

I've tried the amd64 version for linux but it fails to run for one or more reasons on version 1006.

1. The instructions say chmod on jive_alsa, but there's no such file - there is jive.
2. When I run it it says it has an error loading libdirectfb-1.2.so:9 ... no such file. I seem to have version 1.7 on xubuntu 17.10.

No matter, I'm happy to try and build myself, but where do I start? Where did the source come from?

Probably because you are using the pulse audio version.

Use squeezeplay-7.8.0-984 amd64 instead

Thanks.

I managed to get the pulse version to work by downloading libdirectfb-1.2.so:9 (for ubuntu 16.04), and it runs, albeit using portaudio. I'll try the non-pulse version.

I did find an older set of source files but there were a number of compilation failures beyond my ability to fix. I'll try ralphy's.

I got the asla version running as well.

I tried compiling Ralphy's from github but it complains that my CPU isn't 64 bit (it is). Strange, but of no concern now I have a running version.

Try changing -march=pentium4 to -march=core2 in Makefile.linux26. If that doesn't work, try removing the -march option completely.

Also pull the latest changes from git as yesterday I fixed another issue compiling squeezeplay with newer versions of gcc.

Thanks. I had to do the same to Makefile in zlib-1.2.7. I then had to add libtolua++5.1-dev, and assumed I should respond y to the 4 patch requests (is that correct?).

But then after that I'm still missing the tolua++ command. tolua++5.1 does exist. I don't understand enough of the Makefile to know what to do about that - there's quite a bit of stuff about tolua++-1.0.92.

tolua++   -n jive -o src/ui/lua_jiveui.c src/ui/lua_jiveui.pkg
/bin/bash: tolua++: command not found
Makefile:1236: recipe for target 'src/ui/lua_jiveui.c' failed

No you should not be asked about the patches and there should be no reason it should need to build tolua++ unless you changed src/squeezeplay/src/ui/lua_jiveui.c for some reason?

I'd suggest cloning a completely new copy of the squeezeplay source and try the build again. That's likely the easiest way to get it working.

Thanks. That worked cleanly with just the one pentium4 to core2 change in Makefile.linux26. I can only assume that repeated failed builds caused my previous problems.
