1 Introduction
|
|
|
2 ============
|
|
|
3 The XMMS-SID plugin will work much better if you install the song
|
|
|
4 position patch ("xmms-songpos.patch*") which makes it possible for
|
|
|
5 the plugin to use the position slider to choose subtunes.
|
|
|
6
|
|
|
7 It also patches some other plugins (like MikMod plugin) for
|
|
|
8 improved features. Additionally, the patch for XMMS 1.2.5
|
|
|
9 has a dirty hack fix

11 Patching
|
|
|
12 ========
|
|
|
13 Short instructions of patching XMMS for the uninitiated ;-)
|
|
|
14
|
|
|
15 (Substitute the 1.2.5 version number with the appropriate version)
|
|
|
16
|
|
|
17 1) Unpack the XMMS source distribution:
|
|
|
18
|
|
|
19 tar -xzvf xmms-1.2.5.tar.gz
|
|
|
20
|
|
|
21 2) cd xmms-1.2.5
|
|
|
22
|
|
|
23 3) Choose appropriate patch:
|
|
|
24 If you have XMMS version 1.2.0-1.2.3, choose patch version 1.2.2
|
|
|
25 With 1.2.4 and later, choose patch version 1.2.5!
|
|
|
26
|
|
|
27 4) Patch the XMMS (with the selected patch file)
|
|
|
28
|
|
|
29 patch -p1 < /some/where/xmms-songpos.patch.1.2.5
|
|
|
30
|
|
|
31 5) If the patch succeeded (no failures, no .rej files), you
|
|
|
32 can now compile and install the XMMS. (Read through XMMS
|
|
|
33 documentation how to do it if you don't already know)
|
|
|
34
|
|
|
35 If some part of the patch does not succeed, you may need
|
|
|
36 to fix it by hand. Or you could just not use the patch :)
|
|
|
37
|
|
|
38 (See the TODO-file for what I have planned to remedy this patch with!)

41 NOTICE
|
|
|
42 ======
|
|
|
43 If you patched and recompiled XMMS _after_ you had already used
|
|
|
44 XMMS-SID, you need to re-compile XMMS-SID too to make it use the
|
|
|
45 patch features!
