[Goodies-dev] xfce4-playercontrol-plugin doesn't find music players

Hi Christoph,

First of all, playercontrol should be considered in beta or even alpha state. The xmms plugin used to check for libxmms and libaudacious at runtime. You must compile playecontrol with --enable-xmms and --enable-audacious=[yes|legacy] and --enable-mpd if you want support for these players. At runtime it will look for libxmms, libaudacious (for legacy), libaudclient (Audacious >= 1.4) and libmpd for the corresponding players. If the players are properly installed these libraries should be available to g_module_open (actually libmpd is not part of mpd, I'll remove that dependency next time). On my sytem these libraries are under /usr/lib.


Cheers,
Ilgar
