Hello,

I'm new to KDE.
I'm following the instructions given here http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tut ... pplication to build amarok.

However, when I run cmake, I get the following:

Code: Select all

Can somebody help me fix this or guide me in any way?
(I am using Ubuntu 12.04)
Thanks.

key is

Could NOT find Qt4: Found unsuitable version "4.8.1", but required is at
least "4.8.3" (found /usr/bin/qmake-qt4)

you are running Ubuntu 12.04 you need to run something newer with a newer version of QT, something that has QT 4.8.3 or newer

ps - the tutorial link you posted is incomplete

Rishab, please read the instructions given in the source code, there are several documents to read there that will help you get started.

FWIW, if you want to get into Amarok development, you should read all the documents linked here first: https://community.kde.org/Amarok/Development/Join

And as said already: your current distribution is way too old (over 3 years actually, in development 6 months is already old ). Also, you first need to make your mind up if you want to work on the current master which requires Qt4 or on the kf5 port which requires Qt5. Since Amarok 2.9 will be the last release in Qt4, after that release all hands are needed in the kf5 port.
