Installation of Tracker
First, fix building with recent versions of Giflib:
sed -i "/DGifCloseFile/s:gifFile:&, NULL:g" src/tracker-extract/tracker-extract-gif.c
Install Tracker by running the
following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--disable-static \
--disable-unit-tests \
--disable-miner-evolution \
--disable-miner-firefox \
--disable-miner-thunderbird &&
make
This package does not have a working testsuite.
Now, as the root user:
make install
Command Explanations
--disable-static: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
--disable-unit-tests: This
switch prevents unit tests from being installed.
--disable-miner-*: These
miners have been reported to cause problems, so we turn them off.
Additionally, the Evolution miner
doesn't build with latest version of Evolution.

you have installed FLAC-1.3.0 and wish to build the
Tracker extractor for FLAC
metadata.

you have installed libvorbis-1.3.4 and wish to build the
Tracker extractor for OGG
metadata.
