(Re-editing my last comment)

The original repo, ympd.org and https://github.com/notandy/ympd seems abandoned:

  • He hasnt answered github issues for 2 years.
  • The last code was committed in 2018.
  • He's still active on Github recently though.
  • See also this issue by other arch linux users https://github.com/notandy/ympd/issues/189

This, https://github.com/SuperBFG7/ympd, is the fork of the guy who made the compile fix 191l, . He is also an Archlinux user. The fork seems to be more active, but the issues are disabled. Couldnt check his future plans.

He has another repo with PKGBUILDS, https://github.com/SuperBFG7/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/ympd-git/PKGBUILD, pulling the source from his own fork

Want to report that the update, to 1.3.0-4 from 1.3.0-3l worked perfectly, both on x86_64 and armv7h (Raspberry Pi 2B 1.1)

Thanks cippaciong for still taking care of this package (and ympd-git). After many years of using it in the Raspberry Pi, I actually find it more pleasant than mympd. Mympd has more features than ympd (access to metadata), but I cant seem to get used to the unintuitive UI and somehow buggy setup.

cippaciong commented on 2020-07-10 06:36 (UTC)

I have updated the PKGBUILD to manually apply the patch included in PR 191 which should at least fix the compile issues.

EDIT (09.07.2020): thanks to @L0ric0 there is now a mympd package build in AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mympd/

it should support the Raspberry Pi:

arch=('i686' 'x86_64' 'armv6h' 'armv7h')

(although it needs 225MB of java as a make dependency)

Your proposal to prepare an AUR package of myMPD sounds interesting.

Sorry if this seems lazy from my part, and if I am hijacking this comments section. Unfortunately I still lack many skills to make sure I can write a clean and well mantained PKGBUILD. I myself am not planning to do it. So I am simply asking if someone here could create a package for mympd.

My original intention was making it known here, since "mympd" is basicly just a well mantained and updated forke of "ympd". It shouldnt take much effort to create it, and since cippaciong is already providing this one, one would avoid reinventing the wheel.

ympd was last updated more than 2 years ago. In the meantime, I keep seeing mympd, https://github.com/jcorporation/myMPD/releases, releasing almost monthly and adding features.

He even provides prebuild binaries for ArchLinux using OpenSuse build service https://github.com/jcorporation/myMPD/wiki/Prebuild-Packages https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jcorporation/Arch/x86_64/

So at least creating a package "myMPD-bin" should be straightforward.

Is there still nobody here with interest in creating one for it ?

PS: I also requested if they could provide prebuild binaries for ArchLinux ARM (raspberry pi) https://github.com/jcorporation/myMPD/issues/296

This package (ympd and ympd-git) won't build on RaspberryPi (armv6h):

I have it running for years on my Raspberry Pi 2B v1.1, armv7h Did you check your PKGBUILD and Raspberry version ? The pi zero is the one with armv6h

I try to install ympd with $ yay ympd I get the error: [100%] Linking C executable ympd /usr/bin/ld: CMakeFiles/ympd.dir/src/mpd_client.c.o:(.bss+0x0): multiple definition of `mpd'; CMakeFiles/ympd.dir/src/ympd.c.o:(.bss+0x0): first defined here collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: [CMakeFiles/ympd.dir/build.make:205: ympd] Error 1 make[1]: [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:98: CMakeFiles/ympd.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:150: all] Error 2 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting...

What to do now??

@Kresimir: ympd works fine on RaspberryPi, as the error says you are missing the strip binary. It's provided by the package binutils which is part of the group base-devel, a pre requisite to build AUR packages. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites

The last update from the developer was almost a year ago, on March 2018, https://github.com/notandy/ympd

In the mean time, there is now a very well maintaned and active fork called myMPD, https://github.com/jcorporation/myMPD

It adds interesting new features and is still written in C, utilizing Websockets and Bootstrap/JS.

The guys at DietPi and Archphile (Archlinux ARM for the raspberry pi) already changed to it in July 2018, https://archphile.org/blog/mympd-packages-for-archphile-09973-alpha-repost/

An AUR package for this shouldn't be much different than this one. Any interest ?

cippaciong commented on 2016-02-18 13:47 (UTC)

@m45t3r you are right, thanks for reporting. I'll fix this during the weekend.

m45t3r commented on 2016-02-15 18:57 (UTC)

You need to change line 17, from: mkdir build && cd build; to: mkdir -p build && cd build; Because mkdir fails if you try to build this package twice, and since there is a "&&" the "cd" is not executed, running "cmake" in the wrong directory. Or simply, does not add "&&" between commands and put mkdir and cd in different lines.

cippaciong commented on 2016-02-14 15:37 (UTC)

@3onyc I don't know how but your last comment went completely unnoticed. I updated ympd to the latest version which should fix that bug and added both arm architectures to the PKGBUILD.

commented on 2015-12-01 22:16 (UTC)

Please add 'armv6h' and 'armv7h' to the list of available archs, thanks! IMPORTANT: ympd 1.2.3 has a bug in the command line arguments: https://github.com/notandy/ympd/commit/9728aae69c95592ab54c69a88186324907a8d0ff The latest version (ympd-git) has the fix included.

dsd commented on 2015-06-27 17:43 (UTC)

Works fine on armv7h, thanks!

@ajs124 Thank you for reporting

https://github.com/jpleau/ympd/commit/5abfdfda7b2c9fac25dd2db7115a3796a15c8eb9 Seems like the path of the EnvironmentFile changed, maybe you should write a .install file for the next release.

esh commented on 2014-07-29 20:32 (UTC)

Please add 'armv6h' to the ARCH array.
