Arch Linux¶
$ pacman -S quodlibet
Running from Source¶
Install mercurial and check out the source:
$ hg clone https://code.google.com/p/quodlibet/
$ cd quodlibet
QL/EF expects the plugins to be in “~/.quodlibet/plugins” so create a symlink:
$ mkdir ~/.quodlibet
$ ln -s $(readlink -f plugins) ~/.quodlibet/plugins
Now switch to the real QL folder:
$ cd quodlibet
If you want translations, you have to create the gettext translation files:
$ ./setup.py build_mo
Run Quod Libet or Ex Falso:
$ ./quodlibet.py
$ ./exfalso.py
To update to the latest version, switch to the QL dir and run:
$ hg pull --update
$ ./setup.py build_mo # (only if you need translations)
Mac OS X¶
Simple way (using macports)¶
sudo port install quodlibet
Hard way (using jhbuild)¶
There is no real Mac port available at the moment but it is possible to get Quod Libet running under Mac OS X using jhbuild.
The following steps show roughly what is needed.
- Get OS X running. It is possible to run it in VirtualBox.
- If you’re using VBox install the sound driver.
- Install XCode (check the OS X requirements.. you might need an older version)
- Install git.
- Get jhbuild running.
- Add
~/.local/bin
toPATH
jhbuild bootstrap
jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-bootstrap
jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-core
jhbuild build pygtk
- Build/install mutagen.
- There is currently no pygst available in jhbuild, but you can patch in the experimental NSSound backend.
- Change QL config to macbe backend.
jhbuild shell
python quodlibet.py
- The quartz theme is not really usable, so you might want to: *
jhbuild build meta-gtk-osx-themes
* copy clealooks gtkrc to .gtkrc-2.0
