Build and install Banshee on SUSE Linux 10.1

Problem:

No SUSE 10.1 RPM’s for latest version of Banshee are available.

SOLUTION:

Build and install Banshee on SUSE Linux 10.1.

EXAMPLE:

1. If you have an older version of Banshee installed then start with uninstalling it (i.e Yast, remove all Banshee RPM’s).
2. Install these packages (using Yast):
   • mono-devel
   • monodoc-core
   • sqlite-devel
   • libmusicbrainz-devel
   • gstreamer010-devel
   • gstreamer010-plugins-base-devel
   • libgnomeui-devel
   • gnome-desktop-devel
   • nautilus-cd-burner-devel
3. Get the latest version of Banshee from http://banshee ( http://banshee/ )-project.org/. In this scenario the version was 0.11.1

   Download the files:

   banshee-0.11.0.tar.gz
   banshee-official-plugins-0.11.0.tar.gz

4. Unpack Banshee (banshee-0.11.0.tar.gz) to a temp directory.
5. Open a terminal in this directory and run:

   ./configure

   Run:

   make

6. Switch to root (su)
   Run (will default install to /usr/local):
   make install
7. Exit to your regular user and start Banshee (/usr/local/bin/banshee &)
8. Installation of Banshee plugins are done the same way. In my case I unpacked banshee-official-plugins-0.11.0.tar.gz and run the commands above (i.e “./configure” “make” “make install”)

You’re done, enjoy!

ENVIRONMENT:

Open SUSE 10.1
Should work on SLED 10 but not verified
