Installing DeadBeef music player on Debian
16th October 2010
In my previous post on CUE sheet support in Linux music players I mentioned DeaDBeeF. Unfortunately, DeaDBeeF is not yet available as a Debian package.
Fortunately, Alexey Smirnov (the author of DeaDBeeF) maintains a github repository deadbeef-debian which has simple instructions on installing DeaDBeeF in Debian (citing with minor edits):
1) download deadbeef from sourceforge (0.4.2 as of the moment of writing)
2) tar xvf deadbeef-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2
3) $ cd deadbeef-X.Y.Z/
4) $ git clone git://github.com/asv/deadbeef-debian.git debian
5) $ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -i -I”.git”
6) (install any dependencies reported by dpkg-checkbuilddeps, wait for the build to finish)
7) $ sudo dpkg -i ../deadbeef_X.Y.Z-R_yourarch.deb
8) Enjoy DeaDBeeF!
Hint: dpkg-buildpackage accepts -jNumJobs option for multi-core/multi-CPU systems.

Thanks, I’ve updated my list of Linux music players with CUE-sheet support.
