How-To: Compile Amarok 1.4.10 in Ubuntu 10.04
I'm a big user of old Amarok and I still using in Lucid; here the how-to compile from source; based on this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1307737 (thx Seegorkesolot) with some new hints and modified patches.
This works on Ubuntu (Gnome version) without the official repository version of Amarok installed.
INSTALL DEPENDENCIES
Code:
sudo apt-get install libgpod-common libgpod-dev libgpod4 kdelibs4-dev libxine-dev libdbus-qt-1-dev libtag1-dev libsqlite3-dev libtunepimp-dev libmysqlclient15-dev libpq-dev libvisual-0.4-dev libsdl1.2-dev libifp-dev libxine1 libxine1-ffmpeg build-essential checkinstall ruby ruby-dev libruby libltdl-dev
DOWNLOAD AMAROK SOURCE
Code:
cd ~/Downloads
wget http://download.kde.org/stable/amarok/1.4.10/src/amarok-1.4.10.tar.bz2
tar -xvf amarok-1.4.10.tar.bz2
cd amarok-1.4.10
PATCH FIX THE CODE (fix for GCC, Cover Manager and Wikipedia lookup)
Code:
wget http://yep.it/savedpatch/amarok-1.4.10-gcc44.patch -O amarok-1.4.10-gcc44.patch
patch -p1 < amarok-1.4.10-gcc44.patch
Code:
wget http://yep.it/savedpatch/amarok-1.4.10-covermanager-fix.patch -O amarok-1.4.10-covermanager-fix.patch
patch -p1 < amarok-1.4.10-covermanager-fix.patch
Code:
wget http://yep.it/savedpatch/amarok-1.4.10-wikipedia.patch -O amarok-1.4.10-wikipedia.patch
patch -p1 < amarok-1.4.10-wikipedia.patch
COMPILE & INSTALL THE APP
Code:
./configure --without-arts
make
sudo make install
RESTORE ORIGINAL APP ICONS (thx zenkaon)
Code:
cd ~/Downloads
wget http://pprc.qmul.ac.uk/~jmorris/personal/amarok/amarok.icons.__usr.share.icons__.tar.gz -O amarok.icons.__usr.share.icons__.tar.gz
sudo cp ~/Downloads/amarok.icons.__usr.share.icons__.tar.gz /usr/share/icons
cd /usr/share/icons
sudo tar zxvf amarok.icons.__usr.share.icons__.tar.gz
Done! You can now launch Amarok ;)
NICE TO HAVE (Install when Amarok is executed)

Hi.. thanks to dentaku65 and Seegorkesolot for making my fav linux audio app (and it's right version.. lol) available in 10.04!!
INSTALLATION: I followed instructions as per the first post; I ran into troubles, which i fixed :P by installing the following:
1) ruby, ruby1.8 and ruby1.8-dev
2) libltdl-dev
REMARKS: I don't know if this case applies to everyone! But better to check if the above packages are installed before installing amarok.

It will also build and run fine on 10.10 w/ a few minor changes, there's also the pana clone
Atm have both installed, haven't decided which to keep.
Re: How-To: Compile Amarok 1.4.10 in Ubuntu 10.04
Thx all,
I've updated the dependencies and did some screenshots
bye

You need ruby, ruby1.8-dev, and their deps.
run this
Code:
sudo apt-get install ruby ruby-dev libruby
or
Code:
sudo apt-get install ruby ruby1.8-dev libruby1.8
/usr/bin/ruby must link to ruby1.8, at least at build time
Edit - what release of ubuntu are you using - assuming lucid?
Re: How-To: Compile Amarok 1.4.10 in Ubuntu 10.04
mmm...
changed the dependencies of ruby in the #1 switched from ruby-8 to ruby; should the distribution now choose the version...

Forgot to mention, using maverick right now (dual boot with hardy)
I had uninstall version 1.9 ruby at synaptic but I still having some error during installation on ./configure --without-arts
Here's the pastebin , The error seem like I need a xine library , and again , which library should I install ?

Well I built amarok 1.4 on maverick about 6 wks. ago, all went well. Rebuilding today a few things have changed, haven't the time to look into.
(shouldn't be a concern if you don't need mtp support, should be a solution, note pana config
you need libxine1 and libxine-dev (the 1.18.X ver.
There is also a dev that's not available in maverick - whether it's needed not sure, when I first built on maverick I installed the lucid libs, a build without today showed no ill effect that I've seen - libdbus-qt-1-dev
So a reasonable dep check would be to run this (obviously most are installed
Code:
sudo apt-get install libgpod-common libgpod-dev libgpod4 kdelibs4-dev libxine-dev \
libtag1-dev libsqlite3-dev libtunepimp-dev libmysqlclient-dev libpq-dev \
libvisual-0.4-dev libsdl1.2-dev libifp-dev libxine1 libxine1-ffmpeg build-essential \
checkinstall ruby ruby-dev libruby libltdl-dev libmp4v2-dev
Current plugin list from amarok 1.4 configure - using this
./configure --without-arts --with-mp4v2 --without-libmtp

For install I prefer checkinstall for amarok14 - a simple command -
Code:
sudo checkinstall --pkgname amarok14 --pkgversion 1.4 --backup=no --default \
--deldoc=yes --deldesc=yes --delspec=yes --fstrans=no
Ot
I use ruby 1.9.2 - amarok 1.4 seems to run fine when it is the default ruby, but as mentioned won't build unless 1.8 is the default (/usr/bin/ruby) at compile time.
