Bug#498573: libqt4-dev: Please, enable Phonon support
Hi Sune,
what does it mean after all?
As far as I can tell the Qt4.4 interface is not working. Actually, I
don't even know whether it is an interface or if Phonon is just bundled
with Qt 4.4. At least, Qt and Phonon don't play together as they should
according to the Qt docs, e.g. the example applications won't build.
Qt applications are supposed to build on many platforms without
modification of the source code. They won't on Debian if Phonon is
involved. So how am I supposed to use phonon in Qt applications on Debian?
Similar discussions can be found here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/+bug/253854
and here:
http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/2008-June/002501.html
Seems like it's not only a Debian specific problem. But maybe there
should be mention in something like README.Debian or README.Phonon
1. that Phonon is disabled
2. how you can build Qt/Phonon applications (there's NO docs in
/usr/share/doc/libphonon* and Qt's Phonon docs don't work)
Kind regards,
Felix

seperate
releases as well. Phonon is in debian provided by the phonon source
package, that builds libphonon4 and libphonon-dev. The version provided
here is phonon 4.2, which is required by kde4.1.
