Plugin woes while compiling Audacious from source

[edwinsage]

Hey all,

I've started using Audacious recently, since I found the old 1.3.2 package lying around in the repos (I use VL 5.8, and a lot of packages in the repos have newer Gnome dependencies, so I can't install them).   Something that's always bugged me about XMMS and now Audacious is the fact that the keyboard playback controls aren't configurable.  I use the Dvorak layout, so the "ZXCVB" row is ";QJKX" for me.

So, I decided to grab the source for 1.3.2, dug through it for a while, and changed the neccesary lines to change the controls.  After compiling and installing, however, the program doesn't have any plugins.  I figured the plugins from the old package would work with it, but it doesn't seem to know they're there.  Even after finding the plugin sources (version 1.3.5 was the closest I could find, but the Audacious page says they release them asynchronously anyway; I don't think that's the problem) and building them, it still doesn't work.

Are there some flags I need to add when running ./configure?  I used --prefix=/usr so it would install over the version from the package.  Do I need to point it towards the plugins?

You may need to build the plugins package yourself

Just make sure you use the same prefix you used for the base application and it *should* be fine

Haha, there we go.  I'm not sure if it was because I was using 1.3.5 plugins, or because I didn't specify the prefix on the plugins (probably the latter, I'd guess), but it works now.  I had to do a "make clean" and recompile and install Audacious itself after installing the plugins, but it works now.

Glad you got it
