Installation procedure Manjaro Linux #223

Closed EverWinter23 closed 5 years ago

EverWinter23 commented 5 years ago

Can't install using pacman, what's the procedure? Do I need to enable AUR?

kingosticks commented 5 years ago

That's what the installation instructions in the readme say. However, last time I checked, the AUR package was broken because libspotify had been removed. No idea how/why that happened or why nobody has fixed it. For that reason you may need to install manually. Maybe @tkem can advise.

tkem commented 5 years ago

Nope ;-)

EverWinter23 commented 5 years ago

@tkem ;-) When you say nope, what exactly are you saying to? That I need to enable AUR or that libspotify has been removed?

tkem commented 5 years ago

That I cannot advise on this. Don't know anything about AUR nor libspotify, I guess @kingosticks mistook me for somebody else.

Simon-the-Sorcerer commented 5 years ago

I'm using this package from aur and it's working for me.

kingosticks commented 5 years ago

I did, sorry @tkem!

kingosticks commented 5 years ago

The libspotify dependency still looks broken to me but I don't even have an arch system so maybe I'm talking rubbish and it magically works. Is interesting to see my branch packaged up as used there. I guess I should just merge it...

@trygveaa is probably who you wanted to loop in, I think he might have state on Arch packaging (or at least used to).

trygveaa commented 5 years ago

Yes, you need to install it from AUR. The mopidy-spotify package works fine.

@kingosticks: Why do you think the libspotify package is broken?

kingosticks commented 5 years ago

I think it was broken at one point after Spotify stopped hosting. And then I saw the recent comments at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libspotify/ and saw https://aur.archlinux.org/libspotify.git is a broken link so assumed it was still in that state. But having looked closer, I see the PKGBUILD looks legit so maybe I am totally wrong, apologies if so.

trygveaa commented 5 years ago

https://aur.archlinux.org/libspotify.git is not broken, you just have to clone it with git instead of visiting it in a browser. I tested it now, and it works fine, so I'll close this issue.

trygveaa commented 5 years ago

I see the installation docs said to use yaourt, which is dead and not recommended, so I replaced it with yay.
