I recently tried and failed to compile
Democracy Player on a Slack-based laptop. I haven't found any packages, build-scripts, or explicit reports of this application on Slackware 11.0/10.2, so if anyone has some proof of it on Slackware, please speak up!
Do you have an alternative to
Democracy Player on your Slackware? Features I want are:
-
Auto-update: automatically checking for new videos and downloading them to specific local folder
-
Channel guide: browsing a list/categorized directory of all available channels, then easily subscribing to any of them
-Quota: limiting the amount of disk space used by downloaded videos, and automatically deletes older ones to maintain that limit
-
Versatile: understands different video formats and feed formats
The exact error I get is during compile, when running the provided script for installing on Gtk/X11 systems: "
Can't find xulrunner-xpcom, mozilla-xpcom or firefox-xpcom" There's a report of this 'bug' here:
http://forum.getdemocracy.com/viewtopic.php?id=1259. A suggested fix is to install all the dependencies--
Code:
python2.4 libboost-python-dev python2.4-gnome2 python2.4-gnome2-extras python-gnome2-extras-dev python2.4-pyrex python2.4-gtk2 python2.4-glade2 python-gtk2-dev mozilla-dev mozilla-psm libxine-dev gettext libxmu-dev python-pysqlite2
...plus
libxul-dev. Which I would gladly do if I knew the Slackware equivalents
. As it is, I've gotten a slew of
python, pyrex, gnome, glade, mozilla, firefox, boost, xul related packages installed now, and they've just gotten me this far.
