Banshee is a powerful audio player written using GTK, featuring audio and video libraries, support for podcasts and much more. The last version, 1.2, was released on July 30, 2008.
1. Install the necessary dependencies
As root, type:
apt-get install build-essential
apt-get build-dep banshee
For the last one, make sure you have sources repositories enabled in your /etc/apt/sources.list file (there is a line which starts with deb-src).
2. Download the source tarball
Download the source tarball from here, under the Source releases, then change the current working directory to where you saved the archive, and uncompress it:
tar -xjf banshee-1-1.2.0.tar.bz2
Change the working directory to banshee-1-1.2.0, and proceed to the next step.
3. Compile Banshee 1.2.0
In the banshee-1-1.2.0 directory, issue the usual:
./configure
make
make install
The last command as root. Banshee 1.2 should be now properly installed. Run it as banshee-1 from command line or pressing ALT+F2 and typing the name in the run dialogue that appears.
