Last.fm on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04)

Having recently got a nice shiny new netbook (an HP/Compaq 311c) I was trying to get last.fm to compile on it. My netbook was running a reasonably fresh install of Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04).

So I downloaded the source for last.fm-1.4.2.58240 and unzipped it into my source directory. Knowing that it needed qt4 I then ran:
sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev

With that all installed I tried running ./configure in the source directory and it said everything was fine, so I went ahead and typed make.

After waiting while it compiled I was then greeted by the following error:
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/marvin/src/last.fm-1.4.2.58240/src/libFingerprint/fplib/pro_qmake'

Knowing that memcpy is part of the standard C library I thought this seemed a little strange. So I opened up last.fm-1.4.2.58240/src/libFingerprint/fplib/src/FingerprintExtractor.cpp and added the following line in bold:
#include <cmath>
#include <string.h>

Then recompiled.

The next error was the following:
g++ -c -pipe -O2 -w -fPIC -DNBREAKPAD -DLINUX -DNDEBUG -I/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I. -I../../../../src -I../../../../build -I../../../libMoose -I../../../libUnicorn -I../include -I../src -I../../libs/fftw/src/api -I../../../../res/libsamplerate -o ../../../../build/fplib/release/OptFFT.o ../src/OptFFT.cpp

make: *** [sub-src-libFingerprint-fplib-pro_qmake-fplib-pro-make_default-ordered] Error 2
marvin@Anjie:~/src/last.fm-1.4.2.58240$


Which I fixed by editing last.fm-1.4.2.58240/src/libFingerprint/fplib/src/OptFFT.cpp to include the line in bold:
#include <iostream>
#include <memory.h> // for memcopy
#include <stdlib.h>

And then once again ran make.

The next error was:
g++ -c -pipe -O2 -w -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -DNBREAKPAD -DLINUX -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_SQL_LIB -DQT_XML_LIB -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_NETWORK_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I. -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4/QtNetwork -I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt4/QtXml -I/usr/include/qt4/QtSql -I/usr/include/qt4 -I../../src -I../../build -I../libMoose -I../libUnicorn -Ifplib/include -I../src/ -I../../res/mad -I../../build/LastFmFingerprint/release -o ../../build/LastFmFingerprint/release/MP3_Source_Qt.o MP3_Source_Qt.cpp

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/marvin/src/last.fm-1.4.2.58240/src/libFingerprint'
make: *** [sub-src-libFingerprint-make_default-ordered] Error 2


So I opened last.fm-1.4.2.58240/src/libFingerprint/MP3_Source_Qt.cpp and added the lines in bold:
#include <cassert>
#include <stdexcept>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <limits.h>


And ran make once more.

This time it was a linking error:
g++ -Wl,-O1 -shared -Wl,-soname,libLastFmFingerprint.so.1 -o libLastFmFingerprint.so.1.0.0 ../../build/LastFmFingerprint/release/Sha256File.o ../../build/LastFmFingerprint/release/Sha256.o ../../build/LastFmFingerprint/release/MP3_Source_Qt.o ../../build/LastFmFingerprint/release/Fingerprinter2.o ../../build/LastFmFingerprint/release/FingerprintCollector.o ../../build/LastFmFingerprint/release/FingerprintQueryer.o ../../build/LastFmFingerprint/release/moc_Fingerprinter2.o ../../build/LastFmFingerprint/release/moc_FingerprintCollector.o ../../build/LastFmFingerprint/release/moc_FingerprintQueryer.o -L/home/marvin/src/last.fm-1.4.2.58240/bin -L/home/marvin/src/last.fm-1.4.2.58240/build/LastFmFingerprint/../fplib -L/usr/lib -lMoose -L/home/marvin/src/last.fm-1.4.2.58240/bin -lLastFmTools /home/marvin/src/last.fm-1.4.2.58240/build/fplib/libfplib.a -lsamplerate -lfftw3f -lQtSql -lQtXml -lQtGui -lQtNetwork -lQtCore -lpthread

So I ran sudo apt-get install libsamplerate0 libsamplerate0-dev libfftw3-dev libfftw3-3 libmad0-dev libmad0 libgpod-dev libgpod4 libasound2-dev and then ran make again.

If you're wondering how I came up with all the libraries above, it was just from running make several times and then using apt-cache search to search for the missing libraries. I didn't include these steps as they're a bit tedious.

Having done all that it's possible to run last.fm with bin/last.fm.sh.

Just wanted to point out that on my computer all your coding section run right to the end of the sceen, running *over* the right hand side-bar. Not sure if it does it on your computer, or if there's much you can do about it...

Should be fixed now. I'd just looked at it in Chrome and forgot about other browsers.

I should probably make some CSS for code blocks to make them a bit more readable.

I had these errors too - they are features of the newer version of GCC which is now stricter than it used to be (see http://www.cyrius.com/journal/gcc)

Thanks for sharing this -- saved me some time figuring it all out.
