Contributed Builds

From $1

128px-bleached-egg.pngThe Songbird project currently has limited resources, so we can only provide Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X builds.  Fortunately, our developer community rocks and has stepped up.

Many thanks to our contributors who build and maintain the following packages for us!

If you want to help put together a contributed build, check out our Getting Started Guides for building Songbird (and optionally building & packaging XULRunner).  You'll also want the following tarballs:

Songbird 0.7 reorganised the SVN repository to split out the vendor dependencies into a separate repository, hence the new vendor dependencies tarball.

Ubuntu Linux

Check GetDeb.net

Gentoo Linux

Attached below is an ebuild for installing the v1.0.0 prerelease nightly builds
Some quick install instructions are provided, but if you are completely unfamiliar with manually installing an ebuild please ask for help at the Gentoo forums.

Quick install instructions:
  1. Save the Songbird ebuild in your local overlay (default: "/usr/local/portage/media-sound/songbird-bin") and make sure the local overlay is enabled in your make.conf file.
  2. Run the following command to generate a manifest for the ebuild:
    "ebuild /usr/local/portage/media-sound/songbird-bin/songbird-bin-1.0.0_pre850.ebuild manifest"
  3. Depending on your system architecture add
    "media-sound/songbird-bin ~x86" (for 32 bit systems) or
    "media-sound/songbird-bin ~amd64" (for 64 bit systems)
    to your "/etc/portage/package.keywords" file.
  4. Run "emerge songbird-bin"
  5. If you are using KDE, run kbuildsycoca (or kbuildsycoca4) to update your start menu immediately.
To install a later nightly build just increase the version number of the filename and run steps 2 and 4 again. Check for valid nightly build numbers here.
