I am running Ubuntu 14.04 and I am trying to install the latest version of cmus (2.7.1) from the source code by running ./configure, make, and make install in the cmus-2.7.1 folder.

However, when I do so, it seems that it is not installing output plugins. Running cmus after install returns the error cmus: Error: couldn't open directory '/usr/local/lib/cmus/op': No such file or directory.

Running the command cmus --plugins returns

Input Plugins: /usr/local/lib/cmus/ip

wav:

Priority: 50

File Types: wav

MIME Types:

Output Plugins: /usr/local/lib/cmus/op

I also had 2 quick questions regarding installing from source and cmus:

  1. Do I have to keep the cmus-2.7.1 folder forever for when I want to uninstall cmus using the make uninstall command. Or is there another way for me to uninstall a program installed from source without keeping that folder stored somewhere on my computer?

  2. This is a long shot, but is there a way for the terminal to show a different icon (custom made or whatever) in the application switcher (alt-tab) when it is running cmus? That way it would be easier to find cmus in this switcher when multiple terminals are open.

Thanks in advance!

If you are installing cmus from source,you also need to install all the dependencies.

Look through this!

Dev packages needed to be installed for libraries used for input and output plugins. Most are not installed on a default Ubuntu 14.04 install. Found the list of library on an ArchLinux page (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/cmus/)

These libraries include:

libcue

ncurses

alsa-lib (optional) - for ALSA output plugin support

faad2 (optional) - for AAC input plugin support
