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 apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libjson-glib-dev libsoup2.4-dev

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

$ sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool pkg-config gettext valac

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

$ ./autogen.sh

• Compile

$ make

• Install

$ sudo make install

Runtime Environment

• Need some more packages to run sanity.
• Debian/Ubuntu

$ sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

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