Recent commentsget independent of KDE
First off I'd like to say how much I like amarok. Its by far the best audio player for linux and I really love it.
But I think it would be so cool to see amarok getting rid off using KDE libs. And amarok would get much more adherence of gnome users. Though I prefer KDE.

My two cents:
It seems this has to do with the introduction of the new Visibilty support in c++
see gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visib....
I believe a developer may have semi-fixed this, as he/she left a comment about this in
universalamarok.cpp (search for KDE_EXPORT)
anywho
I have successfully installed amarok 1.4.1 on RedHat Fedora Core 3.
My installation uses the xine engine and mysql.
1) download install the xine engine xinehq.de/
2) created the amarok database, a user and password in mysql console
Note: if you installed a newer version of mysql, say in usr/local/mysql5, you may want to make sure older versions are not used by amarok: i.e. cp /usr/local/mysql5/bin/mysql_config /usr/bin
3) Edit ..src/plugin/plugin.h
a) add the line: #define PLUGIN_VIZ __attribute__ ((visibility("default")))
before the line: #define AMAROK_EXPORT_PLUGIN( classname ) \ ...
b) change the following from KDE_EXPORT to PLUGIN_VIZ so that it reads as:
#define AMAROK_EXPORT_PLUGIN( classname ) \
extern "C" { \
PLUGIN_VIZ amaroK::Plugin* create_plugin() { return new classname; } \
}
4) If your installation includes mysql you may wish to specify that on your config line: i.e.
./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix` --enable-mysql
Should be good to go!
Re: make error
This didn't work for me. I'm still getting the same error.

Oops. That should have been 'src/engine/void/void-engine.cpp'.

I'm going to guess...It looks like src/plugin/plugin.h is not being included for some reason. Try editing src/engine/void-engine.cpp and add this line near the top:
#include "../../plugin/plugin.h"
