But in KDE there wan't sound and even worse, there was definitely no mp3 support. The solution have to be:
- Gstreamer with an mp3 plugin and OSS output
Amarok which use gstreamer
- libid3tag-0.15.1b
libmad-0.15.1b
gstreamer-0.8.9
gst-plugins-0.8.8
taglib-1.3.1
amarok-1.2.3
With google it's a question of minutes to find and download the .tar.gz packages. The dependencies are:
Amarok needs taglib and gstreamer
gstreamer need gst-plugins for different sound options
mp3 support in gst-plugins come from libmad
libmad requires libid3tag
Therefore I went into every subdirectory in the same order as listed above and executed every time the same commands:
- Code: Select all
1. configure --prefix=/usr/local
2. make
3. su -p (specify root password)
4. make install
Before of the configure step of gst-plugins I had to set an environment variable:
- Code: Select all
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
the reason is that gst-plugins and amarok won't find gstreamer automatically.
After the installation procedures I assured that KDEDIRS was correctly set:
- Code: Select all
export KDEDIRS=/usr/local:/usr
(this has to be done permanently, best in ~/.bashrc)
For activating this KDE application in /usr/local (which is not the standard KDE-Path:/usr) I had to call:
- Code: Select all
kbuildsycoca
Finally I activated gstreamer with:
- Code: Select all
gst-register
Then I started amarok, configured the sound-system to gstreamer and ossink and enjoy listening mp3 sound ))
