Installation of Amarok

[Note]

Note

Amarok depends strongly on $KDE_PREFIX. If a new version of KDE is installed in a different location (for instance installing kde in a versioned directory of /opt), then this package will need to be reinstalled.

Install Amarok by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDE_PREFIX \
      -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release         \
      -DKDE4_BUILD_TESTS=OFF             \
      -Wno-dev .. &&
make

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

-DKDE4_BUILD_TESTS=OFF: This switch disables the integrated tests. The test suite requires Google Mock.
