AudioPreview

This is a generic installation which does not cover the installation of the required third-party software as most of the linux distributions now provide them or you can install them very quickly.

For Ubuntu or Debian, it is easier to install our deb packages that you can find in the download page.

Software Requirements:

• build tools:
  • gcc
  • make
  • autoconf
  • automake
  • (intltool)
• gstreamer (>= 0.10)
• gstreamer plugins (to be able to play different media formats)
• Glib (>= 2.18)
• libxml2 (>= 2.6.27)
• libc6 (>= 2.2)

First, open your favorite terminal (bash commands will be used in this page.). And change into a directory of your choice (e.g. ~/audiopreview/)

Downloading the sources:

Type this to download the latest tarball:

wget http://audiopreview.codealpha.net/files/latest.tar.gz

Then extract it:

tar xfvz latest.tar.gz

Go into the audiopreview directory:

cd audiopreview-*/

Installation

If you wish to do a system wide installation, type:

./configure

Otherwise you can use a prefix to do a user-wide installation, like this:

./configure --prefix=/home/myuser/audiopreview-binaries/

If configure failed, run autogen.sh like this: ./autogen.sh

Then type this to start compiling:

make

When done, you can install by typing (note that for system-wide installation, you might need to have root privileges to run this command):

make install

Done.
