[ DEPENDENCIES ]
- Python 2.6 or newer http://python.org/
- "sqlite3" Python module (usually included with Python)
- Feedparser 5.1.2 or newer http://code.google.com/p/feedparser/
- mygpoclient 1.7 or newer http://thp.io/2010/mygpoclient/
- Python D-Bus bindings
gPodder might still work with Python 2.5, but you may need to
install the json module ("simplejson") manually. We reserve the
right to drop support for Python 2.5 in future point releases.
As an alternative to python-dbus on Mac OS X and Windows, you can use
the dummy (no-op) D-Bus module provided in "tools/fake-dbus-module/".
For quick testing, you can use the script tools/localdepends.py to
install local copies of feedparser and mygpoclient into "src/" from
PyPI. With this, you get a self-contained gPodder CLI/WebUI codebase.
[ GTK UI - ADDITIONAL DEPENDENCIES ]
- PyGTK 2.16 or newer http://pygtk.org/
[ QML UI - ADDITIONAL DEPENDENCIES ]
- Qt 4.7.1 or newer http://qt.nokia.com/
- PySide 1.0.8 or newer http://www.pyside.org/
- Qt Mobility 1.2 or newer http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-mobility
- Qt Quick Components http://qt.gitorious.org/qt-components
- Sailfish Silica Components https://sailfishos.org/sailfish-silica/
The QML UI depends on the QtMultimediaKit QML bindings for playing
back audio (libdeclarative-multimedia in Debian) and on the WebKit QML
bindings for Flattr integration (libqtwebkit-qmlwebkitplugin in Debian).
The QML UI now also depends on Qt Quick Components. On MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan,
these components are pre-installed. You can install them on your Desktop by
checking out the code from the qt-components Git repository and running the
"./configure" script with the "-meego" parameter (+ the usual make install).
You might also need to copy the theme from /usr/share/themes/blanco/ on a
MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan device to your development machine in order for all UI
elements to be displayed correctly. Alternatively, you can use the free
"darko" theme from: https://github.com/jpavelek/meego-handset-theme-darko
For running gPodder on Sailfish OS using Sailfish Silica Components, you
need to have Sailfish Silica installed. Right now, gPodder still depends on
qt-components even on Sailfish, but this is going to change soon once a
more mature version of Sailfish Silica is out.
[ OPTIONAL DEPENDENCIES ]
- Bluetooth file sending: gnome-obex-send or bluetooth-sendto
- HTML shownotes: python-webkit
- Flattr integration: python-webkit
- Size detection on Windows: PyWin32
- Native OS X support: ige-mac-integration
- MP3 Player Sync Support: python-eyed3 (< 0.7)
[ BUILD DEPENDENCIES ]
- help2man
- intltool
[ TEST DEPENDENCIES ]
- python-minimock
- python-coverage
[ TESTING ]
To run tests, use...
make unittest
To set a specific python binary set PYTHON:
PYTHON=python2 make unittest
Tests in gPodder are written in two different ways:
- doctests (see http://docs.python.org/2/library/doctest.html)
- unittests (see http://docs.python.org/2/library/unittest.html)
If you want to add doctests, simply write the doctest and make sure that
the module appears in "doctest_modules" in src/gpodder/unittests.py. For
example, the doctests in src/gpodder/util.py are added as 'util' (the
"gpodder" prefix must not be specified there).
If you want to add unit tests for a specific module (ex: gpodder.model),
you should add the tests as gpodder.test.model, or in other words:
The file src/gpodder/model.py
is tested by src/gpodder/test/model.py
After you've added the test, make sure that the module appears in
"test_modules" in src/gpodder/unittests.py - for the example above, the
unittests in src/gpodder/test/model.py are added as 'model'. For unit
tests, coverage reporting happens for the tested module (that's why the
test module name should mirror the module to be tested).
[ RUNNING AND INSTALLATION ]
To run gPodder from source, use..
bin/gpodder for the Gtk+ UI
bin/gpodder --qml for the QML UI
bin/gpo for the command-line interface
To install gPodder system-wide, use "make install". By default, this
will install *all* UIs and all translations. The following environment
variables are processed by setup.py:
LINGUAS space-separated list of languages to install
GPODDER_INSTALL_UIS space-separated list of UIs to install
GPODDER_MANPATH_NO_SHARE if set, install manpages to $PREFIX/man/man1
See setup.py for a list of recognized UIs.
Example: Install the CLI and Gtk UI with German and Dutch translations:
export LINGUAS="de nl"
export GPODDER_INSTALL_UIS="cli gtk"
make install
The "make install" target also supports DESTDIR and PREFIX for installing
into an alternative root (default /) and prefix (default /usr):
make install DESTDIR=tmp/ PREFIX=/usr/local/
[ PYTHON 3 SUPPORT ]
The CLI version of gPodder (bin/gpo) and the QML UI are compatible with
Python 3 after converting the codebase with the 2to3 utility:
2to3 -w bin/* src share/gpodder/extensions
You will also need a copy of "mygpoclient" converted using 2to3 and
a copy of "feedparser" converted using 2to3 (see the feedparser README
for details on how to get it set up on Python 3, including sgmllib).
Please note that the Gtk UI is not compatible with Python 3 (it will
be once we migrate the codebase to Gtk3/GObject Introspection).
The QML UI has been tested with PySide (Git revision a90f3bc) and
Python 3.2.2 - you can use the PySide buildscripts to build PySide:
http://github.com/PySide/BuildScripts
As of February 2012, Python 3 support is still experimental. Please
report any bugs that you find to the gPodder bug tracker (see below).
[ PORTABLE MODE / ROAMING PROFILES ]
The run-time environment variable GPODDER_HOME is used to set
the location for storing the database and downloaded files.
This can be used for multiple configurations or to store the
download directory directly on a MP3 player or USB disk:
export GPODDER_HOME=/media/usbdisk/gpodder-data/
[ CHANGING THE DOWNLOAD DIRECTORY ]
The run-time environment variable GPODDER_DOWNLOAD_DIR is used to
set the location for storing the downloads only (independent of the
data directory GPODDER_HOME):
export GPODDER_DOWNLOAD_DIR=/media/BigDisk/Podcasts/
In this case, the database and settings will be stored in the default
location, with the downloads stored in /media/BigDisk/Podcasts/.
Another example would be to set both environment variables:
export GPODDER_HOME=~/.config/gpodder/
export GPODDER_DOWNLOAD_DIR=~/Podcasts/
This will store the database and settings files in ~/.config/gpodder/
and the downloads in ~/Podcasts/. If GPODDER_DOWNLOAD_DIR is not set,
$GPODDER_HOME/Downloads/ will be used if it is set.
[ LOGGING ]
By default, gPodder writes log files to $GPODDER_HOME/Logs/ and removes
them after a certain amount of times. To avoid this behavior, you can set
the environment variable GPODDER_WRITE_LOGS to "no", e.g:
export GPODDER_WRITE_LOGS=no
[ EXTENSIONS ]
Extensions are normally loaded from gPodder's "extensions/" folder (in
share/gpodder/extensions/) and from $GPODDER_HOME/Extensions/ - you can
override this by setting an environment variable:
export GPODDER_EXTENSIONS="/path/to/extension1.py extension2.py"
In addition to that, if you want to disable loading of all extensions,
you can do this by setting the following environment variable to a non-
empty value:
export GPODDER_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=yes
If you want to report a bug, please try to disable all extensions and
check if the bug still appears to see if an extension causes the bug.
[ TRANSLATIONS ]
These instructions are mostly useful for the maintainer, but they are
documented here in case you want to update translations yourself:
To upload a changed translation template:
make messages # update translations from source
make clean # remove temporary files after "make messages"
tx push --source # upload po/messages.pot to transifex.net
To download a translation that has been updated:
tx pull -l XX -f # download po/XX.po from transifex.net
To generate Git commit commands for the translation updates:
python tools/i18n/generate_commits.py
The "tx" command is provided by the Transifex client (transifex-client
in Debian/Ubuntu) which can be obtained from:
http://help.transifex.com/features/client/
