Configuration
-------------

List available optional features

$ ./configure --help

Auto-detect everything

$ ./configure

To disable some feature, arts for example, and install to `$HOME` run

$ ./configure prefix=$HOME CONFIG_ARTS=n

After running configure you can see from the generated `config.mk` file
what features have been configured in (see the `CONFIG_*` options).

*Note*: For some distributions you need to install development versions
of the dependencies. For example if you want to use 'mad' input plugin
(mp3) you need to install `libmad0-dev` (Debian) or `libmad-devel` (RPM)
package. After installing dependencies you need to run `./configure`
again, of course.

If you want to use the Tremor library as alternative for decoding
Ogg/Vorbis files you have to pass `CONFIG_TREMOR=y` to the configure
script:

$ ./configure CONFIG_VORBIS=y CONFIG_TREMOR=y

The Tremor library is supposed to be used on hardware that has no FPU.

Building
--------

$ make

Or on some BSD systems you need to explicitly use GNU make:

$ gmake

Installation
------------

$ make install

Or to install to a temporary directory:

$ make install DESTDIR=~/tmp/cmus

This is useful when creating binary packages.

Remember to replace `make` with `gmake` if needed.

Manuals
-------

$ man cmus-tutorial

And

$ man cmus

page for any problems, suggestions, or bug reports.

IRC Channel
------------

Feel free to join IRC channel #cmus on Libera.chat and share you experience, problems and issues.

Reporting Bugs
--------------

Bugs should be reported using the GitHub [issue tracker](https://github.com/cmus/cmus/issues).
When creating a new issue, a template will be shown containing instructions on how to collect
the necessary information.

Additional debug information can be found in `~/cmus-debug.txt` if you configured cmus with
maximum debug level (`./configure DEBUG=2`). In case of a crash the last lines may be helpful.

Git Repository
--------------

https://github.com/cmus/cmus

$ git clone https://github.com/cmus/cmus.git

Hacking
-------

cmus uses the [Linux kernel coding style](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html).
Use hard tabs. Tabs are _always_ 8 characters wide. Keep the style consistent with rest of the
code.

Bug fixes and implementations of new features should be suggested as a
[pull request](https://github.com/cmus/cmus/pulls) directly on GitHub.
