How To Compile Amarok 2 From Git On Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic Amarok is a great music player for linux. In the current reales of Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic also the current stable version of Amarok was introduced into the repositories. However Amarok is under heavy development and updates won't be included in the official repos. If you want to be up-to-date and have the latest Amarok version available, you'll need to compile it yourself. Compiling Amarok isn't really hard but there are a few dependencies that it needs and a few things to look out for.

Thanks, you saved me a huge amount of time and frustration with this. Your patch didn't work on the version of qtscriptgenerator I ended up with (I believe there's a blank line between a couple items). I applied it manually though, no worries, seems to be working fine.
Yeah, the empty lines weren't just accepted by that. I had to modify the code here. It should now be correct. Thx for pointing that out.
Awesome walk through, but just a heads up mysql is on version 5.1.41 now.
This guide is for people that want to COMPILE THEIR OWN SOFTWARE, otherwise it is included by default. People that are new to linux shouldnt be trying to use cutting edge software anyway
You are right. We shouldn't. But then again, what if we want to?
Would you help a little? S = H = A= R = E your knowledge to commoner? Would u really?
Surely doesn't look like you are even trying.
Assuming that I am brainstorming on your prompts.
If running in Terminal, do I just copy and paste them? Doesn't look like the case.
What about this prompt:
cat ${HOME}/.bashrc
??
Copy & paste?? Don't think so.
So?
Would u really?
This is why you feel like moving away from Linux, too much time lost in all these configurations. You can do many things with this time rather than digging for howto, patches and other useless things in order to get Amarok to its latest version.
