There are mulitple problems with building Amarok-1.4beta1 with
gstreamer-0.10.x, at least on some systems. Some of the problems
arise when ONLY gstreamer-0.10 is installed (no gstreamer08 or
whatever name). I am not an expert programmer but the attached
patch works for me. Some of the config patches may be moved into
one but it should give an idea asto what things are going wrong.
I am trying to build on Fedora Core 5 development tree. I have another
problem with libgpod which I will file.

Patch

The patch again

OK..this time

It would not let me attach a patch so I just pasted it in!

attaching zipped patch [file name=3b52d0d51f2409dc18003e35f97232b6. size=1621]http://amarok.kde.org/components/com_simpleboard/uploaded/files/3b52d0d51f2409dc18003e35f97232b6.[/file]

I patched just like you suggested and not working yet It still does not find audio.h and the same old warning:

=

Any idea?

Oh yeah! Excuse me, mate! It is working now.
Thanks a lot for the patch!

How to apply this patch ?

Please.. Can someone tell me how to apply this patch ?

HI,

If the get the latest SVN they have fixed most of this except
the small part you can fix by hand. Just edit the file

amarok-1.4/amarok/src/engine/gst10/Makefile.am

by hand and change

(top_srcdir)/amarok/src/engine/gst/config
to
(top_srcdir)/amarok/src/engine/gst10/config

in two places.

If you don\'t know how to get the SVN you can apply the patch
by copying it into the main source directory and issuing the
command \"patch -p1 < NameofPatchFile\" then do an autoconf
and configure again. I really recommend getting the SVN source
though.
