The reason behind using the tarball vs. backporting from Sid is that when I tried (successfully) backporting from Sid, I got a minitube that would not play videos but would only download them. The method described below, using the tarball from flavio.tordini.org, the creator of minitube, delivered a working minitube video player and downloader.
First thing, install the dependencies. in a terminal:

Linux Mint 17 لتنصيب تطبيقMiniTube على اجهزة 32bit استعمل اﻻوامر التالية sudo apt-get install libqt5widgets5 libqt5network5 libqt5script5 libqt5sql5 libqt5sql5-sqlite libqt5dbus5 phonon4qt5 libphonon4qt5-4 phonon4qt5-backend-gstreamer.

At this point we have to pause before running the next commands because there is an issue with gcc 4.7 and we need to make a patch and apply the patch. Special thanks to Vbrummond for this patch!
Open a text editor in your terminal. leafpad, gedit, pluma whatever you use and add this text into the ~/tmp/minitube directory
Then save the text as qtlocalpeer.patch and exit
Now apply the patch

Linux Ubuntu

Code: Select all

Now we are ready to build minitube
dh_make will prompt you what to build, press 's' for single. then run the next command

This will build the package for you and make the debian installable file for your machine's architecture.
