Ferraro Sat, 20 Sep 2008 20:20:00 +0000 http://tiagoboldt.net/blog/creative-zen-linux/#comment-3049 I was getting the same compile errors as Arktopus Sauce (above). I'm guessing maybe it was an API change for libmtp (I used the latest, 0.3.2 as of now). I generated the following diff (below) for anyone else who runs into the same problem. 142c142 ret = LIBMTP_Create_New_Playlist(device,playlist); 415,416c415 < genfile, NULL, NULL, genfile, NULL, NULL); 431,432c430 < genfile, NULL, NULL, genfile, NULL, NULL); 845c843 ret = LIBMTP_Create_Folder (device, filename, parent_id,0); I was getting the same compile errors as Arktopus Sauce (above).

Well, I now have everything working by installing the packages from the Ubuntu repositories. Many time has already passed since I've wrote this post, almost every distribution should now have the needed packages available in their own repositories. Maybe you should try that, before compiling yourself each program. Good luck :) Hi Asteroth and Arktopus Sauce,

I installed everything, i even downloaded newest versions and compiled everything except for mtpfs which i installed from repo (i just couldnt get it working while compiling from source, but the problem persists. I can upload music and files through amarok or gnomad2, but i cant access antyhing that is already on the mp3. After mounting it as a filesystem I can see all the directories and some files (preinstalled jpg mostly), but nothing else- all the files are invisible and undetectable. Directories are 0bytes each Hi!

Sorry! I just realised; I get those errors when I ‘make’ having ‘./configure’d.

I'm following you right up to the ./configure bit. I get errors like this: mtpfs.c: In function ‘save_playlist’: mtpfs.c:142: error: too many arguments to function ‘LIBMTP_Create_New_Playlist’ Any idea what to do? I intend, by the way, to try and do this with a creative zen x-fi, but I assume it's the same principle as getting it to work with a creative zen. Thanks! Hello.
