Runing Amarok

[Bart Kalita]

Hi all,

Is anybody running Amarok on current Rawhide?

For me all versions available crash within 20 sec of running or manage
to crash Knotify.

I was trying to compile from source but apparently Amarok is not happy
with current gcc and requires either newer (?) or older version.

TIA

Do you refer to Amarok as supplied in Fedora Extras Development?  If so,
it was last built on March 16th and may suffer from run-time
incompatibilities, which might be fixed with a rebuild. The updates in CVS
fail to build currently, however. That's tracked in bugzilla.

thats what I've got when rebuilding

rpmbuild --rebuild amarok-1.2.4-1.fc3.src.rpm

......

checking whether gcc is blacklisted... yes
configure: error:

This particular compiler version is blacklisted because it
is known to miscompile KDE. Please use a newer version, or
if that is not yet available, choose an older version.

Please do not report a bug or bother us reporting this
configure error. We know about it, and we introduced
it by intention to avoid untraceable bugs or crashes in KDE.

error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.14807 (%build)

same error pops up when building from source

I wonder if there is a point in sending backtrace to Amorok peeps

Such a pure version-based compiler check is bad, since Red Hat's gcc
packages usually are patched with a lot of fixes. Just have a brief look
at "rpm --query --changelog gcc".

You need to take out the version check before you can build Amarok.

I've patched this, but it still does not build because of a
missing /usr/lib/libfam.la file. This file is not provided by gamin-devel
anymore, and a lot of kde libtool files refer to it (just do a "grep -l
libfam.la /usr/lib/lib*.la)
This has been filed in bugzilla (#159090).
