First, install the build dependencies for amarok. Mostly, these are just headers and support libraries to hook into KDE. On debian-based systems, you can simply run # apt-get install build-essential git-core; apt-get build-dep amarok
as root.
Then, using git
, clone the amarok repository from KDE's anongit:
git clone git://anongit.kde.org/amarok.git; cd amarok
Before doing anything else, you should check the README
and INSTALL
files to see if anything has changed in these steps. They will note any important build updates.
