This page describes how to build betaradio executable binary from source code and install it.

P.S. "$ sudo command" can replace "# command" with root privilege.

Prepare the source code

1. From the released tarball
• Download the released tarball from http://code.google.com/p/betaradio/downloads/list and untar it.

$ wget http://betaradio.googlecode.com/files/betaradio-X.X.X.tar.bz2
$ tar xjvf betaradio-X.X.X.tar.bz2

2. From subversion repository
• Retrieve source code from http://betaradio.googlecode.com/svn/

$ svn checkout http://betaradio.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ betaradio

Prepare the source compilation environment

• Debian/Ubuntu

 $ sudo aptitude install libgtk2.0-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libcurl-dev

• If you check out from subversion, you need to intall extra packages.

$ sudo aptitude install autotools-dev

• Fedora 6/7/8

# yum install gcc gtk2-devel gstreamer-devel curl-devel

Configure, compile, and install

• Change the directory to the root of source code

$ cd betaradio-X.X.X

• If you check out from subversion

$ cd betaradio

• Configure
• This step will set the installation directory to /usr/local

$ ./configure

• If you want to set the installation directory to /usr

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr

• If you check out from subversion, do this to generate ./configure

$ autoreconf -i

• Compile

$ make

• Install

$ sudo make install

Execute

• Betaradio need some extra packages to execute normally.
• Debian/Ubuntu

$ sudo aptitude install \
gstreamer0.10-plugins-base \
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad \
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly \
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg \
gstreamer0.10-alsa

• Fedora 6/7/8
• Add yum repository from http://rpm.livna.org

# rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-[678].rpm

• Install the extra packages from livna

# yum install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-ffmpeg

• Now, you should be able to execute betaradio from Application -> Multimedia
• Have fun. ;)
