Can't build the plugin, can't find deadbeef.h

[rosavi]

I tried following the instructions but I get the following error:

  CC       src/mpris_la-mpris.lo
In file included from src/mpris.c:3:0:
src/mprisServer.h:8:31: fatal error: deadbeef/deadbeef.h: No such file or directory
 #include <deadbeef/deadbeef.h>
                               ^
compilation terminated.
make: *** [src/mpris_la-mpris.lo] Error 1

I'm on Ubuntu 14.04, deadbeef installed via the deb package in the official website.

Hmm yes this will not work since DeaDBeeF is not installed in the standard location.

Can you try to build the plugin like this:

./configure --prefix=/opt/deadbeef
make
sudo make install

[rosavi]

Still no luck, same error message :(

(Not sure if this is relevant, but I did check and deadbeef.h is indeed in /opt: /opt/deadbeef/include/deadbeef/deadbeef.h)

I will try to reproduce the issue in an ubuntu vm.

Can you try the following:

env CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I/opt/deadbeef/include/" ./configure --prefix=/opt/deadbeef
make
sudo make install

Edit: You can safely ignore the pkgconfig message. You also dont need the .la file

rm /opt/deadbeef/lib/deadbeef/mpris.la

[rosavi]

Thanks, it works now!
