How to install Gloobus from Trunk

You have to install Bazaar and the dependencies.

sudo apt-get install build-essential automake libtool bzr

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libgvfscommon-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libcairomm-1.0-dev libtag1-dev libpoppler-glib-dev libgnomeui-dev unoconv libgtksourceview2.0-dev libspectre-dev libdjvulibre-dev libswfdec-0.8-dev libbz2-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev

sudo apt-get install

Download the latest version of Clutter:

http://www.clutter-project.org/sources/clutter/1.0/

Unzip it

Compile and install it:

./configure
make
sudo make install

Download the latest version of clutter-gtk:
http://www.clutter-project.org/sources/clutter-gtk/0.10/

Unzip it

Compile and install it:

./configure
make
sudo make install

Download gloobus with:

bzr branch lp:~gloobus-dev/gloobus/Gloobus-0.4

Fix libtag-dev (It's solved in karmic!)

sudo gedit /usr/include/taglib/attachedpictureframe.h

Change the lines

#include <id3v2frame.h>
#include <id3v2header.h>

for

#include <taglib/id3v2frame.h>
#include <taglib/id3v2header.h>

Then, fix a path in gtksourceview: (Fixed in karmic too)

sudo ln -s /usr/include/gtksourceview-2.0/gtksourceview/ /usr/include/gtksourceview

Finally you install gloobus-preview and its plugins

cd Gloobus-0.4/Gloobus-Preview/
./configure --prefix=/usr/
make && sudo make install

cd ..
cd Gloobus-Coverflow
./configure
make
make install

In the bzr gloobus-preview/DATA there should be two images: close_button.png and gloobus_button.png. Copy them in /usr/share/gloobus:

cd DATA
sudo cp *.png /usr/share/gloobus/

Update the path

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
