[Karmic] Phonon includes NOT found!

[FriedChicken]

On trying to cmake digiKam or BaKet (trunk):

[...]
-- Phonon includes NOT found!
CMake Error at /usr/share/kde4/apps/cmake/modules/FindPhonon.cmake:63 (message):

libphonon-dev, libphonon4, libqt4-phonon, libqt4-phonon-dev, libqtscript4-phonon, phonon, phonon-backend-gstreamer, phonon-backend-xine and python-qt4-phonon are installed.

[FriedChicken (domlyons)]

This also happens on trying building the original Karmic package of digiKam with dpkg-buildpackage. So it's defintitely a cmake- or phonon-problem.

[Castalia (castalia)]

The Phonon includes are also not found in the Qt4 phonon examples (/usr/lib/qt4/examples/phonon) build. There is a /usr/include/qt4/phonon link to /usr/include/phonon, but the source code is not looking for these. I found the required included files in /usr/include/KDE/Phonon, so by providing a /usr/include/qt4/Phonon (note capitalization) to this directory satisfied the Qt4 phonon examples build.

I can confirm this. I updated to karmic and cant compile amarok from source now =(

I got the same error trying to compile KOffice (It worked in Jaunty but now I have problems to build with karmic):

Got this error when compiling bespin theme.

Maybe somebody now workaround?

[kalyan (kallu-be)]

Try reinstalling libqt4-phonon-dev, it worked for me.

[Mentis (mentis-by)]

Reinstalling libqt4-phonon-dev helped! Thx!

[BongoMan (pascal-bongosoft)]

I ran into the same issue while compiling a qt4 app and reinstalling libqt4-phonon-dev did the trick here too :)

[SKAL (sir-kalot)]

kalyan (#7) is right! reinstalling it helped me with the same problem...
if you want check http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=107645

[confiq (confiq)]

yeah... reinstalling did the trick too here :)
thanks for a tip

I think I'm having a related problem and removing and re-installing hasn't helped me, see bellow:

[Daniel Duan (daniel-duan)]

Same problem here! Reinstalling libqt4-phonon-dev didn't help.

[Tatu Lahtela (lahtela)]

cmake for kdelibs svn trunk also fails because of this. It seems that is looks for the phonon includes from /usr/include/phonon, when in fact they are in /usr/include/qt4/phonon. Symlinking it to /usr/include will make cmake pass, but the compilation of kdebase then fails.

[burned (burned)]

reinstalling libqt4-phonon-dev helped here too!
thx

[kioftes (thstyl2000)]

Same here! Reinstallation of libqt4-phonon-dev did not help....here's the error:

Trying to compile toggle-compositing plasma widget. Reinstalling libqt4-phonon-dev worked like a charm.

I had exactly the same problem when trying to compile digikam from source - reinstalling libqt4-phonon-dev worked perfectly! Thanks!

[POG (pierreolivier-gaillard)]

I had the same issue and I noted that phonon seems to have moved.
My setup (Karmic upgraded from Jaunty) is looking for:
  /usr/include/phonon/phononnamespace.h
But I only have:
/usr/include/qt4/Qt/phononnamespace.h
/usr/include/qt4/phonon/phononnamespace.h

I symlinked from the 2nd to what I needed an cmake .. completed for Basket.

I suppose the packages have a mistake or maybe some configuration got saved with Jaunty and it has become wrong with Karmic.

I then reinstalled libqt4-phonon-dev and still get the same error? Did u do remove or purge?

[kmkz2 (pgrahl)]

Removing and reinstalling libqt4-phonon-dev worked for me.
Note that when removing libqt4-phonon-dev, apt-get also removed kdelibs5-dev and libphonon-dev, so I had to reinstall both again. The cmake worked fine.

[Jeff Trull (jetrull)]

This continues to be a problem. I discovered it while trying to compile the Akonadi resource template generated by kdevelop. To resolve the problem I followed the instructions here:

http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/digikam-users/2009-November.txt

(search for "Phonon library or includes")

[Blackpaw (blackpaw)]

Same problem when trying to build kdevelop from trunk. I had to symlink "/usr/incldue/qt4/phonon" => "/usr/incldue/phonon" to work around it. That allowed me to configure and compile.

Kubuntu 9.10 with the kde 4.4rc1

kde4-config --version
Qt: 4.6.0
KDE Development Platform: 4.3.90 (KDE 4.3.90 (KDE 4.4 RC1))
kde4-config: 1.0

[Alexander Kabakow (alexzak)]

Same problem when trying to compile krusader from trunk.

Comment #7 works as workaround.

[Bill Kearney (wkearney99)]

What worked for me was to completely remove the libphonon4 package and then reinstall the phonon. libphonon-dev, libqt4-phonon and libqt4-phonon-dev packages. Didn't dig into it further. Doing this allowed me to get the latest ktorrent version to build on karmic.

[Craig Magina (craig.magina)]

This is still present in a fully updated Lucid install. The problem lies with who sets this cmake variable: ${PHONON_INCLUDE_DIR}. I'm not very familiar with cmake, so not really sure where that is and with some limited searching didn't find it. If you add this define to your cmake build, you can get past it without having to create a link or re-install anything: -DPHONON_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/qt4

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Karmic is no longer supported. This should not be an issue in fresh installs of newer releases.
