Windows

Compiled Windows snapshots are available at http://users.musicbrainz.org/~luks/picard-qt/win32/

Source Code

The source code is maintained in a Bazaar branch at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~luks/picard/qt-port. To download it you need to install Bazaar and run: 

bzr branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~luks/picard/qt-port picard-qt

If you already have the branch and want to update it, use: 

bzr pull

Installation From Source Code

To run Picard you need at least:

Optionally also:

Once you have installed the requirements, you can compile the C extensions: 

python setup.py config
<edit build.cfg if neccessary>
python setup.py build_ext -i

And now you can start Picard: 

python tagger.py

Mac OS X Installation Notes

A rough installation guide is available here: MacOSXPicardQtInstallationGuide

The Apple supplied python 2.3 in OSX 10.4.x will not work with picard, and some of the dependencies listed above expect a framework version of python. http://pythonmac.org/packages/ provides a framework python 2.4 which seems to work.

If you get stuff like this when installing libofa, you may have to replace ltmain.sh with a newer(?) ltmain.sh from the libtool package: 

ld: Undefined symbols:
_create_fftsetupD

See http://forums.predixis.com/lofiversion/index.php/t2134.html for some more details.

For cd lookups you will need python-musicbrainz2 from svn, not the current 0.4.0 release. Also, use something like /dev/rdisk2 as the cdrom device, not /dev/disk2 as you might expect.

  • --kuno.
