User Notes: https://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/audacious

![[Note]](../images/note.png)
This package installs icon files into the
/usr/share/icons/hicolor
hierarchy and desktop files into the
/usr/share/applications
hierarchy. You can improve system performance and memory usage by
updating /usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme and
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache. To
perform the update you must have GTK+-2.24.33 or
GTK+-3.24.36 installed (for the icon cache) and
desktop-file-utils-0.26 (for the desktop cache) and issue
the following commands as the
root user:
gtk-update-icon-cache -qtf /usr/share/icons/hicolor && update-desktop-database -q
TPUT=/bin/true: the default is for
make to output text in color. This is fine if you are
building in a terminal, but if you script the build process and pipe the
output from make to a log file then the control
characters used to color the text can make the logfile unreadable. This
option prevents make from coloring the text.
--with-buildstamp: This switch appends
the given text to the version string.
--disable-wavpack: This switch is required
unless the optional WavPack package is installed.
--enable-gtk: Use this to enable GTK+ support.
--disable-qt: Use this to disable qt support.
--disable-mp3: Use this for the plugins if you have
not installed mpg123 and do not wish to play mp3 files.
--enable-valgrind: Allow better Valgrind leak checks.
--disable-neon: Use this for the plugins if you have
not installed neon, and do not want to use HTTP/HTTPS transport.
If you prefer the old, smaller Winamp/XMMS interface, click on View> Interface> Winamp Classic Interface.
If you built with both Gtk and Qt user interfaces, the Qt version
can be executed from a terminal, issuing audacious
--qt. If you wish a desktop menu entry to execute this Qt
version, issue the following commands as the root user:
cp -v /usr/share/applications/audacious{,-qt}.desktop &&
sed -e '/^Name/ s/$/ Qt/' \
-e '/Exec=/ s/audacious/& --qt/' \
-i /usr/share/applications/audacious-qt.desktop
