Arch Linux

Sorry for the absence. Now that a non-git version has been released, I will recommend using that instead (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pyspotify/). Therefore, I will not update this package.

version in PKGBUILD needs to be updated
from pkgver=20130807
to pkgver=1.11.10.gef75737-1

Otherwise, yaourt/packer prompt for an update continuously.

Build fails with this: while libspotify is installed, also installed is spotify ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38847 )

Had this appear on 3 different computers.

Thanks jodal! I've updated the package dependencies, it builds fine now.

I've updated the main branch of pyspotify with the mentioned patch, so it should now build with libspotify 12, and 12 only. In other words, the dependencies here should be updated to libspotify=12.

This pull request is a quick patch for the album.c issue, and supports libspotify older than 12.

thanks. it builds fine with libspotify 11.1.60

Maybe update the PKGBUILD from >=11 to =11 until pyspotify is updated?

pyspotify currently supports libspotify 11, and not 12. Ref. https://github.com/mopidy/pyspotify/issues/66 and previous comments here.

I have libspotify 12.1.45-1 installed
pyspotify is checked out at tag v1.7

Can somebody tell me which versions are compatible to build? :/

@rickynils: You could add a limitation on libspotify < 12 as well, as libspotify as good as always breaks backwards compatibility when they increase their major number. I would think version conflicts is more understandable than compilation errors for most people.
