33 - Python 2.6 or newer http://python.org/
34 - Feedparser 5.0.1 or newer http://code.google.com/p/feedparser/
35 - mygpoclient 1.4 or newer http://thp.io/2010/mygpoclient/
36 - Python D-Bus bindings
38 gPodder is still compatible with Python 2.5, but you might need to
39 install sqlite3 and json ("simplejson") manually. We reserve the
40 right to drop support for Python 2.5 in future point releases.
42 As an alternative to python-dbus on Mac OS X and Windows, you can use
43 the dummy (no-op) D-Bus module provided in "tools/fake-dbus-module/".
45 For quick testing, you can use the script tools/localdepends.py to
46 install local copies of feedparser and mygpoclient into "src/" from
47 PyPI. With this, you get a self-contained gPodder CLI/WebUI codebase.
50 [ GTK UI - ADDITIONAL DEPENDENCIES ]
52 - PyGTK 2.12 or newer http://pygtk.org/
55 [ QML UI - ADDITIONAL DEPENDENCIES ]
57 - Qt 4.7.1 or newer http://qt.nokia.com/
58 - PySide 1.0.8 or newer http://www.pyside.org/
59 - Qt Mobility 1.2 or newer http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-mobility
60 - Qt Quick Components http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-components
62 The QML UI depends on the QtMultimediaKit QML bindings for playing
63 back audio (libdeclarative-multimedia in Debian).
65 The QML UI now also depends on Qt Quick Components. On MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan,
66 these components are pre-installed. You can install them on your Desktop by
67 checking out the code from the qt-components Git repository and running the
68 "./configure" script with the "-meego" parameter (+ the usual make install).
70 You might also need to copy the theme from /usr/share/themes/blanco/ on a
71 MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan device to your development machine in order for all UI
72 elements to be displayed correctly. Alternatively, you can use the free
73 "darko" theme from: https://github.com/jpavelek/meego-handset-theme-darko
76 [ OPTIONAL DEPENDENCIES ]
78 - Bluetooth file sending: gnome-obex-send or bluetooth-sendto
79 - HTML shownotes: python-webkit
80 - Size detection on Windows: PyWin32
81 - Native OS X support: ige-mac-integration
84 [ BUILD DEPENDENCIES ]
96 [ RUNNING AND INSTALLATION ]
98 To run gPodder from source, use "bin/gpodder".
100 To install gPodder system-wide, use "make install".
105 The CLI version of gPodder (bin/gpo) is compatible with Python 3
106 after converting the codebase with the 2to3 utility:
108 2to3 -w bin/* src/gpodder/
110 You will also need a copy of "mygpoclient" converted using 2to3 and
111 a copy of "feedparser" converted using 2to3 (see the feedparser README
112 for details on how to get it set up on Python 3, including sgmllib).
114 Please note that the Gtk UI is not compatible with Python 3 (it will
115 be once we migrate the codebase to Gtk3/GObject Introspection), and
116 the QML UI - while theoretically compatible - has not been tested
117 with Python 3 yet due to the Python 3 support status in PySide.
119 As of January 2012, Python 3 support is still experimental. Please
120 report any bugs that you find to the gPodder bug tracker (see below).
123 [ PORTABLE MODE / ROAMING PROFILES ]
125 The run-time environment variable GPODDER_HOME is used to set
126 the location for storing the database and downloaded files.
128 This can be used for multiple configurations or to store the
129 download directory directly on a MP3 player or USB disk:
131 export GPODDER_HOME=/media/usbdisk/gpodder-data/
136 - Homepage http://gpodder.org/
137 - Bug tracker http://bugs.gpodder.org/
138 - Mailing list http://freelists.org/list/gpodder
139 - IRC channel #gpodder on irc.freenode.net
