NeurosOSD

Here is the quick guide:

• Make sure you have sourced neuros-env
  • source /wherever/it/is/installed/neuros-bsp/neuros-env
• Grab http://people.xmms2.org/~andersg/xmms2-DrHouse-neuros-OSD-buildenv.tar.gz
• Untar it
  • tar xzf xmms2-DrHouse-neuros-OSD-buildenv.tar.gz
• enter the directory
  • cd xmms2-build
• grab some extra sources (do NOT untar)
  • XMMS2 itself: http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/xmms2/xmms2-0.2DrHouse.tar.bz2
  • glib: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/glib/2.12/glib-2.12.4.tar.bz2
  • libmad: ftp://ftp.mars.org/pub/mpeg/libmad-0.15.1b.tar.gz
  • sqlite: http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-3.3.8.tar.gz
• make a /mnt/tmpfs directory where stuff is installed
  • sudo mkdir /mnt/tmpfs; sudo chown $(whoami) /mnt/tmpfs
• Run build script
  • bash BUILD-XMMS2
• Wait
• Now you have an XMMS2 directory in /mnt/tmpfs.
• <insert step here to strip down the directory, most things are _not_ needed)
• Copy this XMMS2 directory to a memory card/usb-stick/usb-harddrive
• telnet to the OSD
• Kill the mainapp
• enter the XMMS2 directory
• Run run-xmms2.sh in that directory
  • sh run-xmms2.sh
• On your host computer connect to the osd with an xmms2 client, such as esperanza http://people.xmms2.org/~tru/esperanza/0.2/esperanza-0.2.2-winxp.exe using tcp://192.168.1.100:9667/ as path.
• Time to make a nice client to be run _on_ the OSD! / integrate a client in the mainapp.

Some details about some of the tricks used

The libs and xmms2 likes to be installed in a static place. But with all this memorycards support it might end up in a number of different places. The remedy is to install it in the memory filesystem /mnt/tmpfs. Or rather, to make it believe it is installed there, and then just make a symlink to the correct place. (this is really just poor man's encap
