Amarok compilation

[slyzen]

hi,

as a newbie with linux, I followed this fantastic guide to build my amarok from svn. It worked quite well, but now I would like to enable mySql, so I tried to execute the ./configure --enable-mysql from the /amarok/build/ directory but bash says something like "unknown file or directory".

I got all the build-essentials stuff.

So I watched into config files from the build directory and tried to set that
/* MySql database support enabled */
#define USE_MYSQL 1
.. in the config-amarok.h before running the make command .. but it didn't change anything ..

please, could you explain me what I should do ?

thanks

Please go to the source directory, run

make clean

and try again.

I executed the make clean in build directory, it was succesful, but there is still no configure.

I also tried to delete the build dir and to repeat the following sequence :

cd ${HOME}/kde/src/amarok
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${HOME}/kde -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull ${HOME}/kde/src/amarok
./configure --enable-mysql < that fails 
make
make install

What should I do ? Is there a switch on the cmake command ?

if you follow that howto you will also setup the according mysqle as requried. there's no need for the --enable-mysql option as amarok 2 only works with mysqle.

ok. MySql embedded means that I can't see amarok DB from a mysql client ?

I currently use KMySqlAdmin and I con't see this DB..

because it's embedded mysql residing in the user's amarok application folder and not where the usual mysel dbs are.
