Installation
Table of Contents
Amarok can be downloaded from The Amarok home page
The latest development version can be obtained from KDE SVN, module /trunk/extragear/multimedia/amarok/.
In order to compile and install Amarok on your system, type the following in the base directory of the Amarok distribution:
./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` make su -c "make install"
The --enable-final configure flag is no longer supported.
Since Amarok uses autoconf and automake you should have no trouble compiling it. Should you run into problems please report them to the KDE mailing lists.
Amarok is like most other apps in that it has several compile time options that can be enabled or disabled during configure. This is a list of the options that can be configured.
Some compile time options require specific dependencies to be used. See the requirements section for more details.
