Prerequisites

The patched XMMS can be compiled without any additional dependency, but to get recoding on you will need LibRCC (http://rusxmms.sf.net). The LibRCC (Russian Charset Conversion Library) supports several ways of encoding autodetection. To get this feature on the LibRCD, Enca, db4 libraries should be installed prior to LibRCC compilation.

Starting from version 0.2.0 LibRCC supports language autodetection using aspell and language translation using libtranslate (the internet connection is required).

So, to get fully functional system, with multi-language playlist recoding, you will need following libraries:

LibRCD (http://rusxmms.sf.net)
Enca
DB4 (Brekley DB)
LibXML2
LibRCC To get language auto-detection:
Aspell with dictionaries To get language translation:
Libtranslate + Internet Connection

Compilation

Copy RusXMMS into the root of xmms source distribution Run 'apply-id3v2.sh' to get RusXMMS with ID3v2 enabled mpg123
- mpg123 from xmms CVS is used
- Patches from Gentoo XMMS Distribution is used to provide ID3v2 Run 'apply.sh' to get RusXMMS with default mpg123 Run 'apply-gentoo.sh' to patch XMMS with all Gentoo patches (xmms-1.2.10-r14) Custom: Just apply patches you need
- all files from source/*.[ch] should be copied into the libxmms directory
Run 'aclocal / automake / autoconf' to regenerate Makefiles
Install as usual
