This package provides a better implementation. First, silence a lot of warnings caused by using the latest toolchain by running the following command: sed -i "s:BSD_SOURCE:DEFAULT_SOURCE:g" cmake/FindPhononInternal.cmake Install Phonon by running the following commands: mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=&kde-dir; \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib \ -DPHONON_INSTALL_QT_EXTENSIONS_INTO_SYSTEM_QT=FALSE \ -Wno-dev .. && make Now, as the root user: make install Command Explanations -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release: This switch is used to apply higher level of the compiler optimizations. -DPHONON_INSTALL_QT_EXTENSIONS_INTO_SYSTEM_QT=FALSE: This switch ensures that the plugins and mkspecs files get installed in the correct location. : Use this switch if you want to build Phonon against Qt5.
