scmus - Scheme MPD Client

Copyright © 2014-2020 Drew Thoreson

scmus is an MPD client written in the (Chicken) scheme programming language. scmus is similar to the cmus music player, with a few major differences:

• scmus is an MPD client
• scmus can be controlled and scripted using the Scheme programming language

Building

Requirements:

• CHICKEN 5
• ncurses

Consult http://wiki.call-cc.org/platforms for instructions on getting Chicken on your platform. Note that scmus does not yet support Chicken 5.

First, run the configure script:

$ ./configure

scmus depends on a few "eggs". To install them:

$ make eggs

To build scmus:

$ make

Installation

# make install
