This is a work in progress that is under active development. This package is currently of no use to you unless you are interested in contributing to development.
In your checkout run ./depends.sh. This works on jaunty and karmic, I have no idea about anything else.
This will download everything you need and build it as appropriate.
You'll get a few warnings, which I have ignored safely so far.
Then source env.sh
./create.py
./addcoll.py /path/to/music/directory
./start-squeal
Then point your browser to http://localhost:9000
You should now configure the spotify credentials through the web interface. Hit the "Setup" button in the bottom right, and enter your spotify credentials in the web form.
When you submit this form, it will connect to spotify.
Tell your player the IP address of your computer as the squeezecenter. You will need to /etc/init.d/apparmor stop probably, since apparmor on jaunty is irksome.
This is the software player, which is awesome for testing.
You'll need a jre:
sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre
Make sure you're using the Sun JRE too, with:
sudo update-alternatives --config java
I had to do some messing about to get actual sound out of this, which I think is an ubuntu/jaunty/java issue. I had to install:
libcsnd-java
To finally make it work - but before that I'd gone through these instructions:
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sound-solutions-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html
Which may have been also required. Who knows.
Download the rpm version without jre here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=105169&package_id=113211&release_id=671140
Then convert it to a deb with:
fakeroot alien softsqueeze_linux_3_8.rpm
This will create a deb which you can install with:
sudo dpkg -i softsqueeze_3.8-2_i386.deb
This installs in (spit) /opt. You can run it with:
/opt/softsqueeze/softsqueeze
It'll spin up, and on first run will ask for your server's IP address. Just give it localhost.
