It needs a set of openSUSE rpms too.
Take a look at the openSUSE search page: software.opensuse.org: Search Results
Well the first rpm hit will not install due to an unresolved (libcrypto?) dependency it chokes on right off. The one click I don’t want as it ads a factory repo or what appears to be two Chinese sourced repos to this machine. As it’s my main desktop and I don’t want it 'accidentally" hosed or unknowingly compromised.
I still don’t know where or how to search for software that doesn’t show up when I do a search of YAST’s software manager as it was the first place I looked. I have little luck rooting around the openSUSE site. Even though it says “find software”. I guess I fail as doing searches.
Thanks for the URL. Looks like it will be a pass for me.
I keep on getting
nothing provides libcrypto.so.0.9.8(OPENSSL_0.9.8)needed by spotify
And in short, it opens a window but only for a few seconds, before it crashes. Any ideas?
Hmmm … some libcrypto investigations on my PC (I don’t have spotify installed, nor do I want to install it) :
oldcpu@corei7:~> whereis libcrypto
libcrypto: /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so
oldcpu@corei7:~> rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so
libopenssl-devel-1.0.0c-18.25.1.x86_64
Perhaps you need to install libopenssl-devel ? That’s just a guess.
Can some one walk me through building the rpm for openSUSE 12.1? I am still trying to locate the source however.
Trying to run it under wine led to some ugly just wow crashing that tied up all desktops with the result.
I found the source is only available to paying member apparently. I’ll let it pass.
I don’t know if it will help, but note there is also a spotify thread here: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/multimedia/443186-spotify-linux-version-opensuse.html
After reading about the native Linux version of Spotify’s app I admit I took the easy path and downloaded the .exe installer. Ran it on WINE and it plays. Probably not as pretty as some other versions, but the sound is fine. It does use CPU cycles, however–two of my four cores are at 100% utilization.

There’s a package on the build service called “spotify-installer” that
uses the debian package to build an installable RPM.
Recent versions have required a minor tweak to the .spec file used for
building the RPM, but it works.
