16To build it, you have two options :
17- against libmpd libraries :
18Get'em from your OS' repository/ports, or from source
19It will be autodetected by pkg-config.
20If libmpd is not installed in a standard directory, use --with-libmpd=path_to_libmpd.
21- without libmpd, using simple-libmpd :
22Since 0.2.0, i implemented a simple interface with mpd, using plain old sockets.
23If libmpd is not found, it will be used as a fallback (or if you specify --without-libmpd)
24
25./configure && make && su -c make install should suffice in most cases.
26
27If it crashes, recompile it with --enable-debug=full, add it to the panel, attach gdb to it
28(gdb -p `pgrep -f libmpc` , continue) and report a bug with a complete backtrace.
