Now if I do a ./configure in the k3b-0.11.23 folder (extracted from the tarball package), I get the following error :
Code:
checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!
[koodoo@localhost k3b-0.11.23]$
I don't know what this means or how to rectify this.
Please help.
I installed arts-devel and kdelibs-devel and configure went fine.
But I now have another error.
When I do ./configure it works fine and in the end gives a Configuration results report as well :
Code:
[koodoo@localhost k3b-0.11.23]$ ./configure
--------------------------------------------------------------
---------------lots of output------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------

Configure results:
------------------------------------------
Ogg Vorbis support: yes
Mp3 decoding support (libmad): no
You are missing the libmad headers and libraries
The Mp3 decoding plugin won't be compiled.
FLAC support: yes
Audio resampling: using K3b version
Resmgr support: no
Audioplayer available (aRts) yes
Compile K3bSetup 2: yes
------------------------------------------
Good - your configure finished. Start make now
[root@localhost k3b-0.11.23]#
I know that only very few of these are needed but I installed the complete kde-software development package and then tried MAKE again but to no avail
I got the same error message.
Any ideas??
Please guys help me in this. I've heard about k3b a lot and really want to get it to work.
I seem to be bugging you people a lot. Please bear with me.
you should really try to find a package available for your distro, using your distro's package manager. what you are missing is libart_lgpl ( and the -devel), install it and you should be good.
Thanx for the suggestion but I always thought installing from source was the best option.
I don't know how to use Yum but I'll try to configure it and use it for installing packages. Till then I don't have much options.
I also installed libart_lgpl and then tried make on k3b. I got another error :
The make went for a long time before this error was encountered.
So much trying and just when I thought I had made it I got this error.
Tried Googling on laudiofile and I couldn't make much of it.
I am very grateful for the help which I got.
Just a little more of it and I may be through.
it doesn't have everything, but it has a good amount of stuff as well as what dependencies apps/libraries need and optional dependencies. if you are going to be compiling from source, I also recommend you learn how to make packages of your builds to make life easier. when you want to upgrade or remove a package, you can do it with a single command as opposed to either keeping the source around to uninstall it or manually pulling things out of your filesystem. The second benefit of making packages deals with the way rpm works, since you are running an rpm distro. rpm will search it's database for dependencies, the database does not get upgraded when you install from source, but making a package and installing it will resolve this. look into rpmbuild or checkinstall for instructions how to build rpm's.
