Installing pianobar from source

makePianobarFromSource

Copied directly from http://www.foscode.com/install-pianobar-ubuntu/ with an additional note from me. 

Here’s how to install it:

1. Install all dependencies:
   1.sudo apt-get install git-core
   2.sudo apt-get install libao-dev
   3.sudo apt-get install libmad0-dev
   4.sudo apt-get install libfaac-dev
   5.sudo apt-get install libfaad-dev
   6.sudo apt-get install libgnutls-dev
   7.sudo apt-get install libgcrypt11-dev

2. Download the latest copy from the git repository:
   1. git clone git://github.com/PromyLOPh/pianobar.git

3. Go into the newly created folder (git automatically creates the folder calder pianobar) and install it.
   1. make clean
   2. make
   3. sudo make install

NOTE FROM PB3: Apparently in an attempt to keep "unauthorized" players out of commission, "Pandora modifies the protocol now and then" (http://6xq.net/projects/pianobar/) You might run into an error that reads something like: 

"Package json was not found in the pkg-config search path.              
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `json.pc'              
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable                            
No package 'json' found "

3A: To fix this install the libjson0-dev library: 
   1. sudo apt-get install libjson0-dev

4. After you have installed pianobar, you can create a config file where you’d have your username and password. (Beats having to type those everytime you start the app).
   1. cd ~
   2. mkdir .config/pianobar
   3. vim .config/pianobar/config

5. add the following 2 lines and save the file
   1. user = pandoraUserName
   2. password = pandoraPassword

6. That’s it, just run pianobar from the command line and enjoy.
