[ DEPENDENCIES ]
- Python 2.6 or newer http://python.org/
- "sqlite3" Python module (usually included with Python)
- Feedparser 5.0.1 or newer http://code.google.com/p/feedparser/
- mygpoclient 1.4 or newer http://thp.io/2010/mygpoclient/
- Python D-Bus bindings
gPodder might still work with Python 2.5, but you may need to
install the json module ("simplejson") manually. We reserve the
right to drop support for Python 2.5 in future point releases.
As an alternative to python-dbus on Mac OS X and Windows, you can use
the dummy (no-op) D-Bus module provided in "tools/fake-dbus-module/".
For quick testing, you can use the script tools/localdepends.py to
install local copies of feedparser and mygpoclient into "src/" from
PyPI. With this, you get a self-contained gPodder CLI/WebUI codebase.
[ GTK UI - ADDITIONAL DEPENDENCIES ]
- PyGTK 2.12 or newer http://pygtk.org/
[ QML UI - ADDITIONAL DEPENDENCIES ]
- Qt 4.7.1 or newer http://qt.nokia.com/
- PySide 1.0.8 or newer http://www.pyside.org/
- Qt Mobility 1.2 or newer http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-mobility
- Qt Quick Components http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-components
The QML UI depends on the QtMultimediaKit QML bindings for playing
back audio (libdeclarative-multimedia in Debian).
The QML UI now also depends on Qt Quick Components. On MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan,
these components are pre-installed. You can install them on your Desktop by
checking out the code from the qt-components Git repository and running the
"./configure" script with the "-meego" parameter (+ the usual make install).
You might also need to copy the theme from /usr/share/themes/blanco/ on a
MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan device to your development machine in order for all UI
elements to be displayed correctly. Alternatively, you can use the free
"darko" theme from: https://github.com/jpavelek/meego-handset-theme-darko
[ OPTIONAL DEPENDENCIES ]
- Bluetooth file sending: gnome-obex-send or bluetooth-sendto
- HTML shownotes: python-webkit
- Size detection on Windows: PyWin32
- Native OS X support: ige-mac-integration
[ BUILD DEPENDENCIES ]
- help2man
- intltool
[ TEST DEPENDENCIES ]
- python-minimock
- python-coverage
[ RUNNING AND INSTALLATION ]
To run gPodder from source, use..
bin/gpodder for the Gtk+ UI
bin/gpodder --qml for the QML UI
bin/gpo for the command-line interface
To install gPodder system-wide, use "make install". By default, this
will install *all* UIs and all translations. The following environment
variables are processed by setup.py:
LINGUAS space-separated list of languages to install
GPODDER_INSTALL_UIS space-separated list of UIs to install
See setup.py for a list of recognized UIs.
Example: Install the CLI and Gtk UI with German and Dutch translations:
export LINGUAS="de nl"
export GPODDER_INSTALL_UIS="cli gtk"
make install
The "make install" target also supports DESTDIR and PREFIX for installing
into an alternative root (default /) and prefix (default /usr):
make install DESTDIR=tmp/ PREFIX=/usr/local/
[ PYTHON 3 SUPPORT ]
The CLI version of gPodder (bin/gpo) and the QML UI are compatible with
Python 3 after converting the codebase with the 2to3 utility:
2to3 -w bin/* src share/gpodder/extensions
You will also need a copy of "mygpoclient" converted using 2to3 and
a copy of "feedparser" converted using 2to3 (see the feedparser README
for details on how to get it set up on Python 3, including sgmllib).
Please note that the Gtk UI is not compatible with Python 3 (it will
be once we migrate the codebase to Gtk3/GObject Introspection).
The QML UI has been tested with PySide (Git revision a90f3bc) and
Python 3.2.2 - you can use the PySide buildscripts to build PySide:
http://github.com/PySide/BuildScripts
As of February 2012, Python 3 support is still experimental. Please
report any bugs that you find to the gPodder bug tracker (see below).
[ PORTABLE MODE / ROAMING PROFILES ]
The run-time environment variable GPODDER_HOME is used to set
the location for storing the database and downloaded files.
This can be used for multiple configurations or to store the
download directory directly on a MP3 player or USB disk:
export GPODDER_HOME=/media/usbdisk/gpodder-data/
