amarok-devel does not find phonon

[rudloff@…]

I am getting this warning when I try to install amarok-devel :

Error: ######################################################
Error: A copy of phonon could not be found. Please install  
Error: qt4-mac to provide this. If you have already done this 
Error: your Qt installation is missing the phonon backend.  
Error: Please reinstall Qt4 with phonon support.            
Error: ######################################################

I have reinstalled qt4-mac and am still getting this warning.

Futhermore, the configuration fails with this error: Qt qmake not found! (But I do have qmake.)

Why not use the amarok port? It's newer than the amarok-devel port, at this moment.

The amarok-devel port might be fixed by upgrading it to the kde4 1.1 portgroup, as was done for the amarok port in r74240.

I tried amarok-devel because amarok was not working (cf. #29725).

Replying to rudloff@…:

I tried amarok-devel because amarok was not working (cf. #29725).

quote akaplan "amarok 2.3.2 out in September 2010, amarok-devel has a version tag with 2009"

as of 05/09/2011, you can install amarok on macports 2.0.2 with the following commands :

sudo port install dbusmenu-qt distfiles= (pre 2.0.3 empty distfiles workaround required)

sudo port install amarok

when it fails, use a script patch on amarok, which akaplan made yesterday from ​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/30554, download here:

open ​https://trac.macports.org/attachment/ticket/30554/patch-bind_dataengine.h.diff (and sleect download in other formats)save the file, then type

cd "port work amarok/amarok-2.3.2"

sudo -u macports patch --backup -p0 < /path/to/patch-bind_dataengine.h.diff

continue with to install amarok again in temrinal to completion

port install amarok

thanks to raim and akaplan for the fixes, just looking into phonon-vlc backend now for streaming radio support and format compatability (same as vlc)

hopefully these changes will be commited in the next version of macports, 2.0.3

There's a new qt4-mac and phonon out, which should fix this issue. Please do a "port selfupdate" and then "upgrade outdated" and then try again.

See #36603.

FYI, I see this issue still.

$ port installed phonon qt4-mac
The following ports are currently installed:
  phonon @4.6.0_0 (active)
  qt4-mac @4.8.4_2+quartz (active)

Cc Me!

I cannot get one of the dependencies (loudmouth) to build anymore.

In r119770 amarok-devel was marked obsolete in favour of amarok, which doesn't seem to have this problem.
