Hi, I couldn't get Amarok 2.5 to compile under OpenSuse 11.4 Gnome.

I used

Code: Select all

cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` -DDBUS_INTERFACES_INSTALL_DIR=/home/alex


to configure

here the terminal info:

Code: Select all

[ 98%] Generating index.cache.bz2

What do I'm wrong?

thx for help

This is an error in KDE's entity definition, you probably should upgrade to KDE 4.8, IIRC it was fixed there.

I was able to get around this issue by editing the index.docbook in the doc/nl directory with the following patch mentioned in the Amarok email list group.

Code: Select all

 <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//KDE//DTD DocBook XML V4.2-Based Variant V1.1//EN" "dtd/kdex.dtd" [
   <!ENTITY % addindex "IGNORE">
   <!ENTITY % Dutch "INCLUDE">
   <!ENTITY Thom.Castermans '<othercredit role="translator"><firstname>Thom</firstname><surname>Castermans</surname><affiliation><address><email>thomcastermans@kde.nl</email></address></affiliation><contrib>Vertaler/Nalezer</contrib></othercredit>'>
   <!ENTITY vertaling.thom "<para>Dit document is vertaald in het Nederlands door &Thom.Castermans;.</para>">
 ]>
 <book lang="&language;">
 <bookinfo>

No need to go around that, the definition is fixed in KDE 4.8, just upgrade your KDE installation.

I just wanted to thank Dave F (devehf) on behalf of those that don't want to risk reinstalling KDE just to try out a new music player

I use gentoo, where the context for this patch is (this is probably trivial for most gentoo users, but not for me...):

Code: Select all

ebuild /usr/portage/media-sound/amarok/amarok-2.5.0-r4.ebuild fetch
ebuild /usr/portage/media-sound/amarok/amarok-2.5.0-r4.ebuild unpack

( so far, this is probably following the failed build that went before, so any complaints about these steps already being done before are fine )
Now apply Dave's patch (e.g. with nano -w /var/tmp/portage/media-sound/amarok-2.5.0-r4/work/amarok-2.5.0/doc/nl/index.docbook ), and...

Code: Select all

ebuild /usr/portage/media-sound/amarok/amarok-2.5.0-r4.ebuild compile
ebuild /usr/portage/media-sound/amarok/amarok-2.5.0-r4.ebuild install
ebuild /usr/portage/media-sound/amarok/amarok-2.5.0-r4.ebuild qmerge


FWIW: you really should build Amarok 2.6 now, it was release in August.
