This is a tutorial on how to build Clementine on the Raspberry Pi. I used revision B with 512 MB ram and the Raspian OS.
Note: Building Clementine on the Pi takes a lot of time, around 8 hours.
### What you need
* A [Raspberry Pi](http://www.raspberrypi.org/) obviously
* At least a 8GB flash card (16GB recommended)
* [Raspbian](http://www.raspbian.org/)
### Dependencies
The same as on any linux distro:
sudo apt-get install liblastfm-dev libtag1-dev gettext libboost-dev \
libboost-serialization-dev libqt4-dev qt4-dev-tools libqt4-opengl-dev \
cmake libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev \
libglew1.5-dev libqjson-dev libgpod-dev libplist-dev \
libusbmuxd-dev libmtp-dev libcdio-dev \
protobuf-compiler libprotobuf-dev libqca2-dev libqca2-plugin-ossl \
libfftw3-dev libsparsehash-dev libsqlite3-dev
### Get the source
We will compile the stable 1.2.2 release. If you want to compile the master branch, don't execute `git checkout release-1.2`. I haven't tested it, so it might not work!
git clone https://github.com/clementine-player/Clementine.git && cd Clementine
git checkout release-1.2
cd bin
### Preparing the build enviroment
Since the Raspberry Pi has only a limited amount of ram, we need to create a swap file. Without it, compiling fails when building the translations.
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1M count=512
sudo mkswap swapfile
sudo swapon swapfile
### Compile
cmake ..
make -j2
Wait. A (very long) time.
### After compiling
A swap file on a flash memory is not healty, so we remove the created swap file after compiling.
sudo swapoff swapfile
sudo rm swapfile
### Install Clementine runtime dependencies
Raspbian doesn't have gstreamer plugins installed by default, so we have to do this now.
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-alsa gstreamer0.10-tools gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio pulseaudio
Set pulseaudio as default output:
gconftool-2 -t string --set /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/audiosink pulsesink
gconftool-2 -t string --set /system/gstreamer/0.10/default/audiosrc pulsesrc
This should give you a better audio quality.
### Setting up Clementine
Start Clementine with `./clementine`. The first start takes quite long as Clementine has to setup the database. After you see the main window, you should disable moodbar generation and glowing. They take too many resources you need for playback.
Now you can add your music to your library and listen to it!
Note: Clementine is quite slow on the Raspberry Pi, so be patient when using it. I experienced a few stutters when playing FLAC files as well. Other formats I haven't tested yet. Clementine Remote works as well.
