pkg-config
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
MPD uses pkg-config to locate most external libraries. If you do not
|
|
have pkg-config, or if your version of the library does not ship the
|
|
".pc" file, you have to provide the library's build options in
|
|
environment variables. These variables are documented in "./configure
|
|
--help". Example:
|
|
|
|
FLAC_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/FLAC FLAC_LIBS=-lFLAC ./configure
|
|
|
|
|
|
Download
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Get the latest release from of MPD from <http://www.musicpd.org/>.
|
|
|
|
Compile
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
1) unzip and untar the archive
|
|
|
|
$ tar zxvf mpd-x.x.x.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
$ tar jxvf mpd-x.x.x.tar.bz2
|
|
|
|
2) change to directory created
|
|
|
|
$ cd mpd-x.x.x
|
|
|
|
3) Run configure script (this will determine what dependencies you have)
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
|
|
4) Compile
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
Install (Optional)
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
(as root)
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
Run
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
1) run mpd:
|
|
|
|
$ mpd <config file>
|
|
|
|
First default is ~/.mpdconf then ~/.mpd/mpd.conf then /etc/mpd.conf. If
|
|
neither of these exist a mpd configuration file must be specified at
|
|
runtime.
|
|
|
|
A sample config file is included with the source of MPD, mpdconf.example.
|
|
|
|
The first time MPD is run it will attempt to discover all music in your
|
|
music root, recursively. This can be affected by the symbolic link
|
|
options specified in the example mpd.conf.
|
|
|
|
Using MPD
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
You can download many different interfaces for MPD at
|
|
<http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Clients>
|
|
|
|
MPD can be interfaced directly using telnet (see COMMANDS, if you are brave).
