How-To: Compile and Install Kaffeine 0.8.8 in Debian Lenny

    Kaffeine is a powerful video player for KDE, using the Xine engine. The latest KDE3 release is 0.8.8, which fixes some bugs and introduces S2 support.

    These are a few steps to follow in order to compile Kaffeine on Debian Lenny (which ships by default with 0.8.7):

    1. Make sure the sources repositories are enabled
    Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file as root (e.g. su; nano /etc/apt/sources.list) and make sure a line which starts with deb-src and looks like the one below is available:

    deb-src ftp://ftp.ro.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free

    Next, update the sources lists:

    su
    apt-get update

    2. Download the source code
    Get the source from the official homepage, here, then uncompress it:

    tar -xjf kaffeine-0.8.8.tar.bz2

    3. Install the needed dependencies
    As root, type:

    apt-get build-dep kaffeine
    apt-get install libcdio-paranoia-dev

    The library libcdio-paranoia-dev is needed in order to get rid of the error ERROR: Could not find cdparanoia headers.

    This will install build-essential and the development libraries needed to compile Kaffeine.

    4. Compile and install Kaffeine
    Just follow the usual steps:

    ./configure
    make
    make install

    The last one as root. If you want to install Kaffeine as local user, use:

    ./configure --prefix=/home/USER/usr
    make
    make install

    No root required for the last command. This should do it.
