Is it possible to install XMMS with GLib-2?

[JakeH]

When I try to configure XMMS, I get the error:

checking for glib-config... no
checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.2... no
*** The glib-config script installed by GLIB could not be found
*** If GLIB was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GLIB_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to glib-config.
configure: error: *** GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first ***

This is because GLib 2 uses pkgconfig insteadd of glib-config. Is there any way to get XMMS to use pkgconfig instead of glib-config? I would install Glib-1.2.2, but it gives me an error because it can't install over Glib 2.

Thanks

Modify the configure-script

I tried that, but I guess I'll try it again since I didn't reall know what to change.

Is this the part that I should edit?

  if test x$glib_config_exec_prefix != x ; then
     glib_config_args="$glib_config_args --exec-prefix=$glib_config_exec_prefix"
     if test x${GLIB_CONFIG+set} != xset ; then
        GLIB_CONFIG=$glib_config_exec_prefix/bin/glib-config
     fi
  fi
  if test x$glib_config_prefix != x ; then
     glib_config_args="$glib_config_args --prefix=$glib_config_prefix"
     if test x${GLIB_CONFIG+set} != xset ; then
        GLIB_CONFIG=$glib_config_prefix/bin/glib-config

What exactly should I change?

Beep Media Player is a gtk2/glib2 port of xmms. But gtk1/glib1 and gtk2/glib2 can exist together on a system so installing gtk1.x/glib1.x could also be an option.

Wow, it's funny that you suggested BMP because I just installed it and was going to post this to say that I solved my problem. It seems to be just as good as XMMS, and it supports Winamp skins, so I'll stick with it.

I messed up with gtk and glib in my post, so I corrected that. Glad my advice appeared to be a good solution for you, even it was too late
