Compile SqueezePlay on Ubuntu ?

[narfight]

Hy everybody,

8 days since I try to run on Ubuntu 11.04 (x86, with Xorg only) SqueezePlay.

If I install the deb file, it says "Unsupported PNG format" I tried to compile my own version. I applied these changes modify the file make.linux:

On line 10, change ${PWD} to $(shell pwd) . After the change, line 10 will look thus:
SRC_DIR = $(realpath $(shell pwd)) .
Change line 146 from: cd luaprofiler-2.0 && make -f Makefile.linux install to: cd luaprofiler-2.0 && LD="gcc -shared" make -f Makefile.linux install

ut when I compile, I get this error:

cd squeezeplay; make && make install
make[1]: entrant dans le répertoire « /home/tv/squeezeplay/src/squeezeplay »
 cd . && /bin/bash /home/tv/squeezeplay/src/squeezeplay/config/missing --run automake-1.9 --foreign
configure.in:24: warning: AC_CACHE_VAL(cc_wl_e_switch, ...): suspicious cache-id, must contain _cv_ to be cached

make[1]: *** [Makefile.in] Erreur 1
make[1]: quittant le répertoire « /home/tv/squeezeplay/src/squeezeplay »
make: *** [squeezeplay] Erreur 2

Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?

Thk in advance

This is my command :

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get xorg
sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev libjpeg62-dev libexpat1-dev libreadline5-dev libx11-dev xorg-dev libasound2-dev unzip build-essential flex bison subversion cramfsprogs automake1.9 fakeroot libtool libncurses5-dev gettext libssl-dev
svn co h t t p : / / s v n . s l i m d e v i c e s . c o m / r e p o s / j i v e / 7 . 5 / t r u n k / s q u e e z e p l a y
cd squeezeplay/src
(UPDATE Make.linux)
sudo make -f Makefile.linux

I tried to compile on Ubuntu 11.10 Desktop amd64 and got the same error:
required file `config/compile' not found

How did you solve this problem?

thanks

My solution ?

Windows XP Embedded is not the best solution but ... it's work

Have no idea if this will work on 11.10 but it is working on my Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit PC

I didn't try 7.5, but I have just compiled 7.7.1 on Fedora 16.

Those are the steps:

# svn co http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/jiv...nk/squeezeplay

# cd squeezeplay/src

edit src/SDL-1.2.13/src/video/mmx.h
(on the line 358 change the X with m as described here:
http://lists.libsdl.org/pipermail/co...ry/003712.html)

# make -f Makefile.linux
(if it stops complaining about unused variables edit the file squeezeplay/Makefile and remove the flag -Werror from the CFLAGS, line 149.
after the removal run make -f Makefile.linux again)

Finally, I was able to successfully compile SqueezePlay on Ubuntu 11.10.

When starting squeezeplay.sh it exits with:

20120219 10:34:01.503 ERROR squeezeplay.ui.draw - jiveL_initSDL:174 SDL_Init(V|T|A): No available video device

Any ideas? Maybe caused by Unity desktop?

Can you tell us how to build from source on Ubuntu ?

I was compling it as described in the external link mentioned above.

I just had to replace some outdated libraries.
