HTTP transport in Audacious 2

Audacious Media Player Maybe you guys out there think “Uuhh? HTTP transport in Audacious 2? Just compile with Neon support?”. Well, I’ve been screwing around a bit before my brains realized that.

Be sure you have installed libneon, a HTTP and WebDAV library. In my case on Debian Lenny, an apt-get install libneon27-dev did the trick. Compile the Audacious 2 plugins with Neon support by passing “–enable-neon” to ./configure while configuring the plugins. If everything goes well, you’ll notice that ./configure will report “neon-based http/https: yes”.

A simple thing, but it took some time to figure it out for me!
