I am trying to compile kaffeine media player on centos 7 and keep getting errors with cmake. I cannot find the KF5CoreAddonsConfig package anywhere in the epel repo for centos 7, I have the other required kf5* packages installed (as far as I know, including the kf5coreaddons package) but the kf5coreaddonsconfig package is NOT there in the epel repo for centos 7. Below is my output for the yum repolist and the cmake /tmp/kaffeine-master/ commands respectfully;

Thanks for any help in advance, as I do not know what else to do at this point.

I don't run centos but a quick search found this link
https://pkgs.org/download/kf5-kcoreaddons-devel

optional centos and fedora and kinda related

you could just download fed packages for kaffeine
open a terminal and run kaffeine and see what missing so files you need

Yeah, I have that devel package already installed;

But it still gives me the same error message as above and I've already tried the package from your link. The reason I'm trying to compile it is, for what ever reason I'm not getting any channels, when I try to scan for TV channels (even though in PCLinuxOS with kaffeine, it does find channels). So just want to see if compiling it makes any difference.

Have you considered that the original purpose IMHO of centos was to be a RHEL clone which was mainly a business type desktop system and not a multimedia friendly environment.

Maybe check your logs to see does the centos kernel detect and enable your antenna device

then try a root powered channel check.

I don't use this myself but good luck

Yes, I have read the centos website.

My TV tuner (as stated before) finds channels in other distro's (with kaffeine), I have checked the kernel log and it is loading the driver for it, no probs.

Kaffeine does not like being run as root and channels found (if any) would not show up in my normal user account, so this is not an option.

And with all respect (and NOT trying to be rude) but, this does not help me compile kaffeine. As this was why I posted this question in the first place, but I guess I'm on my own!

UPDATE: I upgraded the kernel, which solved the problem and kaffeine now finds channels, yay!!

well not trying to be rude but the appropriate way to mark post as solved is to show "SOLVED" in the subject line please

Well, it's not actually been "SOLVED", now has it? As I still have NO useful reply to my question, which was "kaffeine will not compile". So thanks for all of the NON-help you where kind enough to give me! As I had already found out EVERYTHING you suggested, BEFORE you suggested it!

So this was a waste of my time and Internet connection, to even bother asking the question in the first place, hay!

But thank you know what for Google, hay mate!

Bye, Bye!

Not in our forum, marking an answer as accepted is much easier than editing a subject line.
