33 - Python 2.6 or newer http://python.org/
34 - "sqlite3" Python module (usually included with Python)
35 - Feedparser 5.0.1 or newer http://code.google.com/p/feedparser/
36 - mygpoclient 1.4 or newer http://thp.io/2010/mygpoclient/
37 - Python D-Bus bindings
39 gPodder might still work with Python 2.5, but you may need to
40 install the json module ("simplejson") manually. We reserve the
41 right to drop support for Python 2.5 in future point releases.
43 As an alternative to python-dbus on Mac OS X and Windows, you can use
44 the dummy (no-op) D-Bus module provided in "tools/fake-dbus-module/".
46 For quick testing, you can use the script tools/localdepends.py to
47 install local copies of feedparser and mygpoclient into "src/" from
48 PyPI. With this, you get a self-contained gPodder CLI/WebUI codebase.
51 [ GTK UI - ADDITIONAL DEPENDENCIES ]
53 - PyGTK 2.12 or newer http://pygtk.org/
56 [ QML UI - ADDITIONAL DEPENDENCIES ]
58 - Qt 4.7.1 or newer http://qt.nokia.com/
59 - PySide 1.0.8 or newer http://www.pyside.org/
60 - Qt Mobility 1.2 or newer http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-mobility
61 - Qt Quick Components http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-components
63 The QML UI depends on the QtMultimediaKit QML bindings for playing
64 back audio (libdeclarative-multimedia in Debian).
66 The QML UI now also depends on Qt Quick Components. On MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan,
67 these components are pre-installed. You can install them on your Desktop by
68 checking out the code from the qt-components Git repository and running the
69 "./configure" script with the "-meego" parameter (+ the usual make install).
71 You might also need to copy the theme from /usr/share/themes/blanco/ on a
72 MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan device to your development machine in order for all UI
73 elements to be displayed correctly. Alternatively, you can use the free
74 "darko" theme from: https://github.com/jpavelek/meego-handset-theme-darko
77 [ OPTIONAL DEPENDENCIES ]
79 - Bluetooth file sending: gnome-obex-send or bluetooth-sendto
80 - HTML shownotes: python-webkit
81 - Size detection on Windows: PyWin32
82 - Native OS X support: ige-mac-integration
85 [ BUILD DEPENDENCIES ]
97 [ RUNNING AND INSTALLATION ]
99 To run gPodder from source, use..
101 bin/gpodder for the Gtk+ UI
102 bin/gpodder --qml for the QML UI
103 bin/gpo for the command-line interface
105 To install gPodder system-wide, use "make install". By default, this
106 will install *all* UIs and all translations. The following environment
107 variables are processed by setup.py:
109 LINGUAS space-separated list of languages to install
110 GPODDER_INSTALL_UIS space-separated list of UIs to install
112 See setup.py for a list of recognized UIs.
114 Example: Install the CLI and Gtk UI with German and Dutch translations:
116 export LINGUAS="de nl"
117 export GPODDER_INSTALL_UIS="cli gtk"
120 The "make install" target also supports DESTDIR and PREFIX for installing
121 into an alternative root (default /) and prefix (default /usr):
123 make install DESTDIR=tmp/ PREFIX=/usr/local/
128 The CLI version of gPodder (bin/gpo) and the QML UI are compatible with
129 Python 3 after converting the codebase with the 2to3 utility:
131 2to3 -w bin/* src share/gpodder/extensions
133 You will also need a copy of "mygpoclient" converted using 2to3 and
134 a copy of "feedparser" converted using 2to3 (see the feedparser README
135 for details on how to get it set up on Python 3, including sgmllib).
137 Please note that the Gtk UI is not compatible with Python 3 (it will
138 be once we migrate the codebase to Gtk3/GObject Introspection).
140 The QML UI has been tested with PySide (Git revision a90f3bc) and
141 Python 3.2.2 - you can use the PySide buildscripts to build PySide:
143 http://github.com/PySide/BuildScripts
145 As of February 2012, Python 3 support is still experimental. Please
146 report any bugs that you find to the gPodder bug tracker (see below).
149 [ PORTABLE MODE / ROAMING PROFILES ]
151 The run-time environment variable GPODDER_HOME is used to set
152 the location for storing the database and downloaded files.
154 This can be used for multiple configurations or to store the
155 download directory directly on a MP3 player or USB disk:
157 export GPODDER_HOME=/media/usbdisk/gpodder-data/
162 - Homepage http://gpodder.org/
163 - Bug tracker http://bugs.gpodder.org/
164 - Mailing list http://freelists.org/list/gpodder
165 - IRC channel #gpodder on irc.freenode.net
