I'm using GTKPod. With FC5 (and probably FC6, dunno), the shipped one
is not very current.
I build it from the CVS source. I needed to "yum install libid3-devel"
(or something like that) as I recall. And I needed to build and install
libgpod from the latest version too.
So I have this off in /opt/gtkpod-cvs, and this shell wrapper:
[/opt]zoob*> cat ~/scripts/stubs/gtkpod
#!/bin/sh -u
gtkpod=/opt/gtkpod-cvs
exec env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$gtkpod/lib $gtkpod/bin/gtkpod ${1+"$@"}
I build libgpod and gtkpod with --prefix=/opt/gtkpod-cvs, and I needed
to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH for the gtkpod configure run:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gtkpod-cvs/lib/pkgconfig \
CFLAGS=-I/opt/gtkpod-cvs/include \
LDFLAGS=-L/opt/gtkpod-cvs/lib \
./configure --prefix=/opt/gtkpod-cvs
You'd imagine --prefix would arrange all that for you, but apparently
not. Sigh. I hate Configure:-(
Also, gtkpod is a little sensitive to the existing .gtkpod dir and the IPod
contents. Tends to crash:-( So: remove your .gtkpod directory before running
the first time.
Cheers,
