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 "bin/gpodder".
101 To install gPodder system-wide, use "make install".
106 The CLI version of gPodder (bin/gpo) is compatible with Python 3
107 after converting the codebase with the 2to3 utility:
109 2to3 -w bin/* src/gpodder/
111 You will also need a copy of "mygpoclient" converted using 2to3 and
112 a copy of "feedparser" converted using 2to3 (see the feedparser README
113 for details on how to get it set up on Python 3, including sgmllib).
115 Please note that the Gtk UI is not compatible with Python 3 (it will
116 be once we migrate the codebase to Gtk3/GObject Introspection), and
117 the QML UI - while theoretically compatible - has not been tested
118 with Python 3 yet due to the Python 3 support status in PySide.
120 As of January 2012, Python 3 support is still experimental. Please
121 report any bugs that you find to the gPodder bug tracker (see below).
124 [ PORTABLE MODE / ROAMING PROFILES ]
126 The run-time environment variable GPODDER_HOME is used to set
127 the location for storing the database and downloaded files.
129 This can be used for multiple configurations or to store the
130 download directory directly on a MP3 player or USB disk:
132 export GPODDER_HOME=/media/usbdisk/gpodder-data/
137 - Homepage http://gpodder.org/
138 - Bug tracker http://bugs.gpodder.org/
139 - Mailing list http://freelists.org/list/gpodder
140 - IRC channel #gpodder on irc.freenode.net
