Banshee "trunk" on Ubuntu Gutsy

This page describes the needed steps to build trunk on Ubuntu Gutsy.

Banshee Trunk Dependencies

If you do not want to install the needed dependencies from source, you can use the PPA (Personal Package Archive) of RubenV.

To do so, add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ruben/ubuntu gutsy main

Afterwards, run:

$ sudo apt-get install libmono-addins0.2-cil libmono-addins-gui0.2-cil \
  libtaglib2.0-cil libndesk-dbus1.0-cil libndesk-dbus-glib1.0-cil

You can now build and install Banshee trunk. Please see the generic upstream guide to Banshee trunk.

Disclaimer

These packages are backported from Ubuntu Hardy. While they should be stable, they are not guaranteed not to break your system. I will not sync these on a regular basis and only serve as an easy way to get going. If you desire the most recent development environment, please install from source.
