deadbeef.h missing?

[soratoyuki]

Hello. Pop OS 22.04 with Gnome. I'm sadly new to this, and I'm sure it's user error, but I'm unable to get this (or other...) plugins to work. I've downloaded the .tar.xz file to ~/.local/lib/deadbeef (which I had to create), but the terminal commands give me two issues:

/deadbeef-mpris-plugin-1.14 isn't the directory created--deadbeef-1.14 is. So I cd into that folder instead and run ./configure and then make install and get this error:

CC src/mpris_la-mpris.lo
In file included from src/mpris.c:3:
src/mprisServer.h:9:10: fatal error: deadbeef/deadbeef.h: No such file or directory
9 | #include <deadbeef/deadbeef.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make: *** [Makefile:508: src/mpris_la-mpris.lo] Error 1

Can anyone advise?

I found this post from 2015 detailing the same issue, and that seems to have worked for me. If other people have the same issue I did, slightly edited install instructions that worked for me are:

$ tar -xf deadbeef-mpris2-plugin-1.14.tar.xz
$ cd deadbeef-1.14
$ ./configure
$ env CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I/opt/deadbeef/include/" ./configure --prefix=/opt/deadbeef
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo rm /opt/deadbeef/lib/deadbeef/mpris.la

What that actually does is partially a mystery to me, but hopefully it's meaningful to people are are less noobish with Linux.
