amarok2 doesn't build

Try disabling MySQL support. It seems (at least here, two Kubuntu 7.10 amd64) that libmysqld.a is broken. It didn't compile here with MySQL support enabled, but went just fine with it disabled.

Taupter, your advice helped me, but enabling mysql an njb let run me into the next error:

[..]

Any more suggestions?

I'm getting your same errors, but I can't even set the KDE4_PHONON_LIBRARY variable...

$ apt-get source -b amarok2

In order to get around the message about KDE4_PHONON_LIBRARY, you need to install libphonon-dev.

Can anyone tell me how to pass options to the configure script while still using apt-get -b source [package] to build the package?

Thank you!

Yeah, I'm trying to disable MySQL support too... any suggestions?

Ok, so after I manually set up CMake text files and try to remove everything related to "kde4_create_po_files" and "kde4_install_po_files" functions (which I read are not used anymore, something about debian/snap_amarok2.rb ) I managed to bypass this error but ran into various warnings saying that some modules have "virtual functions but non-virtual destructor". I think we should wait for the next snapshot...

Thanks for submitting this report.

Is it ok to close this report now, according to the last comment above?

Thanks

It's ok for me to close this bug report. Meanwhile, there's a binary package available.
