castget is a simple, command-line based RSS enclosure downloader. It is primarily intended for automatic, unattended downloading of podcasts.
To build and install from a distribution tarball, do the following:
./configure
make
make install
castget depends on
- glib2 >= 2.30
- libcurl >= 7.21.6
- taglib (optional)
If building on macOS, you can use Homebrew to install the dependencies:
brew install glib taglib
To disable taglib support, pass --without-taglib
to configure
;
./configure --without-taglib
If building from git, first regenerate the configure
script using autoreconf -fi
:
autoreconf -fi
./configure
make
make install
You will also need ronn, which is used to build the man pages. Prebuilt man pages are included in the distribution.
Please see INSTALL for detailed installation instructions.
For usage instructions see the castget(1) and castget(5) man pages.
You will find a sample configuration file castgetrc.example in the top level
directory of the distribution. You should copy this file to your home directory
as .castgetrc
and edit it to suit your preferences.
Please use the github bug tracker to report bugs.
