Hey guys I'm quite new to ubuntu so sorry for asking newbi questions but: I found this interessting visualization plug-in for audacious (http://sourceforge.net/projects/infinity-plugin/) but I have no idea how to compile it. The last two trys caused a systemcrash.
Can someone please tell me what dependacies are required for the programm to compile...



Thanks in advance



BTW if it helps I get this error:
configure: error: * pkg-config not found. See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/

UPDATE: I found pkg-config. You can install it by using the synaptics package manager. But now it's asking for glib-2.0...which is not listed there...at least not under this exact name.
I've found this thread where someone installed libperl-dev & libgtk2.0-dev (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1607632) and it kinda worked for him. I'm trying that now. I going to give feedback on how it worked for me.



BTW: Thanks for all the replies ;-)



Another UPDATE: So here I am again. BTW libperl-dev & libgtk2.0-dev somehow managed to get the compiling process moving. But only a few lines further :-(. Now, and here is where I've ruined my previous ubuntu installations, it says:



checking for DBUSGLIB1... no
configure: error: Package requirements (dbus-glib-1 >= 0.92) were not met:
No package 'dbus-glib-1' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.



The first 3 lines kinda make sense. It was looking for a certain package, namely dbus-glib-1 , but couldn't find it in my system.
The weird thing here is: I can't find this one either. I've look almost everywhere. A web search refers me to the package libdbus-glib-1-2 (http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libdbus-glib-1-2) but that one is already installed.



I'm afraid I have to consider figuring out what the second part means. I have to be honest here: I have no idea what i could possibly mean.
Could anyone please give me some sort of hint where to start looking.

The problem you had is that the core package dbus-glib-1 was installed (the library itself) but not the development package dbus-glib-1-dev (which contains things to compile against the library, for example the header files).
You should install dbus-glib-1-dev.



BTW as of today you can try a new release of infinity-plugin. It depends on less libraries than the one you tried (no dbus, no gtk+) so it's easier to compile.



In Ubuntu you install all the deps with the command:



sudo apt -y install pkg-config audacious-dev libsdl2-dev libglib2.0-dev


Regards.
