At least one of phonon-backend-gstreamer-4.10.0 or phonon-backend-vlc-0.11.3 needs to be installed afterwards for multimedia operation in KDE.

Install Phonon by running the following commands:

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
      -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release  \
      .. &&
make

Now, as the root user:

make install

-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release: This switch is used to apply higher level of the compiler optimizations.
