Help need in building Amarok 2.5.90 (2.6 Beta)

[pligdas]

Hi, I'm new to this "building from source" business, so please bear with me. I'm trying to build the latest beta Amarok (2.5.90 aka 2.60 Beta) using the instructions here. I've already done this successfully in my other system (openSUSE 12.1) and now I want to try this in Fedora 16. I started with

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull

but I got the following errors:

...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- The following REQUIRED packages could NOT be located on your system.
-- You must install these packages before continuing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   * mysqld  <http://www.mysql.com>
     Embedded MySQL Libraries
   * mysql  <http://www.mysql.com>
     MySQL Server Libraries

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
...

The problem is that

root@pascaLinux:/home/pascal/Downloads/amarok-2.5.90/amarok-2.5.90-build #yum install mysql mysqld
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Package mysql-5.5.23-1.fc16.i686 already installed and latest version
No package mysqld available.
Nothing to do
root@pascaLinux:/home/pascal/Downloads/amarok-2.5.90/amarok-2.5.90-build #

What am I doing wrong? Any help will be appreciated.

Than you.

I solved my problem by going to add/remove software and adding libraries semi-randomly (filtered by mysql) until the building process finally came throught clearn.

I now have Amarok 2.5.90 working!

Hint: when you're building from source you'll usually need the devel packages as well

yum install mysql-devel

Try rebuilding the srpm instead

Thanks. In oS, YaST does a slightly better job in that respect.
