====== IMMS ======

So what is it? Lets quote the [[http://www.luminal.org/wiki/index.php/IMMS/IMMS|website]]:

>IMMS is an adptive playlist framework that tracks your listening patterns and dynamically adapts to your taste.
>Currently plug-in for XMMS and Beep Media Player are available.

So if it works as announced, it's what I always dreamed of ;-)

===== SQLite 3 =====

IMMS needs SQLite version 3 which is currently not available for [[Debian]], so we have to compile it our self (using [[stow]] to install). Get the source from the [[http://www.sqlite.org/download.html|download page]] and install libreadline.

  #> apt-get install libreadline5-dev
  $> wget http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-3.0.8.tar.gz
  $> tar -xzvf sqlite-3.0.8.tar.gz
  $> cd sqlite
  $> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/sqlite-3.0.8
  $> make
  #> make install
  #> cd /usr/local/stow
  #> stow sqlite-3.0.8

Thats it :-)

===== Compiling IMMS =====

IMMS is now availble in version 2 but not in [[Debian]] (maybe because of the missing SQLite 3).

Get some requirements first:

  #> apt-get install xmms-dev libtag1-dev libpcre3-dev fftw3-dev libglib2.0-dev

Then fetch the sourcecode from IMMS' [[http://www.luminal.org/wiki/index.php/IMMS/Download|download page]], unpack and compile:

  $> wget http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/imms/imms-2.0.tar.bz2
  $> tar -xjvf imms-2.0.tar.bz2
  $> cd imms-2.0/
  $> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/imms-2.0
  $> make

Well and thats it. Compiling fails. The README states XMMS 1.2.7+ is enough. But it looks like a patch for XMMS 1.2.10 is required (as far as I could see it will be in the next release (1.2.11). Dammit. I'm not going to compile this whole damn XMMS thingy.
