Notes

  • CAUTION: Proceed at your own risk. This isn't official yet and is not supported. This document is provided purely for informational purposes and should not be used if you don't know what you're doing.
  • This guide lets you to compile a lot of libraries that are required to enable fingerprinting support in Picard, but in the final step it doesn't use them. If you don't want to use PUIDs, you can skip installing of expat, libofa and ffmpeg. Otherwise you will need to edit build.cfg after running "python setup.py config". If somebody has time to expand the FFmpeg installation step (for example with similar configuration as I use on Windows) and fix the Picard installation step to actually use it, please do so. -- LukasLalinsky 09:34, 06 June 2007 (UTC)

Installation Steps

Python

Qt4

PyQt4

python configure.py  
make
sudo make install
python configure.py 
make
sudo make install

Mutagen

python setup.py build 
sudo python setup.py install

LibDiscID

./configure 
make
sudo make install

Expat2

./configure --prefix=/usr/local 
make buildlib
sudo make installlib

LibOfa

  • download and extract libofa-0.9.3.tar.gz (direct link) [376 kB]
  • download and extract libtool-1.5.22.tar.gz [2.8 MB]
  • copy ltmain.sh from the libtool dir to the libofa dir (overwrite)
  • (if you tried configuring libofa without copying the libtool's ltmain.sh file, run make clean]
./configure --prefix=/usr/local 
make
sudo make install

ffmpeg

Note: The configure for ffmpeg in the above document didn't work, but it appears to work with this configure command: ./configure --enable-libmp3lame --enable-static --disable-vhook

gettext

You need gettext for the localization support when compiling PicardQT

wget ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.16.tar.gz
tar -xzvf gettext-0.16.tar.gz
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install

PicardQt

python setup.py config -I /usr/local/include:/usr/local/include/ffmpeg/
python setup.py build_ext -i
python setup.py install

And from now just type picard to run the app!
