I am not able to build using commit 960901 on Kubuntu 9.04.  I've made sure I have all the libglib dev packages, and all other dev packages.  I have satisfied all the pre-requisites for building, but it just won't carry on.

Here is my failure:

I went into the IpodHandler.cpp file, and I noticed that the .h file that contained g_type_init was wrapped in an "#ifdef GDK_FOUND", so what I did to finish compilation was copy the #include just below the #endif.  I'm probably sure this is making somebody out there cry a little, but that was necessary to get it to build at all.

I've spent 2 days in the IRC channel trying to get help finishing the compile using the proper instructions (http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-compil ... k-x-ubuntu), but sadly nobody was able to help me.  Hopefully this problem wasn't just contained to me, and that this post helps a problem get resolved.

Thanks!

I had the same issue on my laptop for a while. Sadly I forget the exact fix. As a workaround I just commented the iPod collection out of src/collection/CmakeLists.txt to get it building. ( "add_subdirectory( ipodcollection )" -> "#add_subdirectory( ipodcollection )" )

Hmm, that would probably work.  I don't use Amarok to manage my iPod anyways, so I wouldn't be missing much functionality.

I'll give that a shot and see if things improve.
