$Id$ Despotify - the open source Spotify client http://despotify.se/ Source code ~~~~~~~~~~ The latest version of the source code can be checked out from our Subversion repository $ svn checkout https://despotify.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/despotify despotify Directories ~~~~~~~~~~~ The checked out source code contains a number of directories java/ This is where one of the available Java implementations go src/ This is where the C based client, library and Python bindings go web/ This is where the source code for our web site goes (http://despotify.se) Build instructions for the simple client and library ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You'll need a few libraries to be able to build despotify If you're running Debian/Ubuntu they can be installed with the following commands # aptitude install libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libvorbis-dev libtool # aptitude install libpulse-dev # For pulseaudio backend # aptitude install libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 libgstreamer0.10-dev # For GStreamer backend # aptitude install libao-dev # For libao backend If you encounter any problems, ask a friend or ask in the channel #despotify on EFNet (example EFNet servers: irc.swepipe.se, efnet.xs4all.nl) 1. Goto the directory src/ where the despotify library and client is located $ cd src 2. Optionial (..because just running make will do this for you otherwise) - 2.1 Copy Makefile.local.mk.dist to Makefile.local.mk $ cp Makefile.local.mk.dist Makefile.local.mk - 2.2 Make local adjustments such as specifying additional path for where the compiler's linker should look for libraries (modify LDFLAGS) or install to a different prefix (i.e. /usr/local instead of /usr) $ nano Makefile.local.mk 3. Run make $ make 4. Install $ sudo make install 5. You'll now have a client called 'despotify-simple' and a gateway called 'gateway' installed under ${INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin (usually this will be /usr/bin) Also checkout ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://jotify.felixbruns.de/ - Felix Bruns' Java implementation of a Spotify compatible library and GUI client http://github.com/nevyn/spot - Nevyn's Spotify compatible client for the iPhone/iPod platform http://www.spotify.com/ - Home of Spotify Final notes ~~~~~~~~~~~ This project is neither endorsed by nor associated with Spotify :-)
