Amarok/Development/KF5port
This page is meant as a guide to port Amarok to Qt5/Frameworks5 and Plasma5.
The commits containing the ongoing port of Amarok to Qt5/KF5 are present in this personal repository.
If you would like to build it then you have to install the following packages (apart from the existing dependencies like Taglib, zlib, googlemock, etc ) containing the following components for your respective system :
Qt5::Core
Qt5::DBus
Qt5::Widgets
Qt5::Test
Qt5::Gui
Qt5::Svg
Phonon4Qt5
KF5::CoreAddons
KF5::Solid
KF5::Codecs
KF5::I18n
KF5::ThreadWeaver
KF5::KDELibs4Support
This list has been kept dynamic to avoid pulling unwanted dependencies which means more components will be added when the need arises.
The broad plan involves the porting of the code-base to compile by using KF5::KDELibs4Support. After this the plan involves porting Amarok away from KF5::KDELibs4Support. We are still in the first part now i.e the current aim is to let Amarok compile by using KF5::KDELibs4Support(with LOTS and LOTS of depreciated warnings).
