    <para>Make sure that <xref linkend="qt4"/> is compiled without the bundled

    a better implementation.</para>

    <para>Install <application>Phonon</application> by running the following

<screen><userinput>mkdir build &amp;&amp;
cd    build &amp;&amp;

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=&qt4-dir; \

      .. &amp;&amp;

    This option ensures that the plugins and mkspecs files get installed in
    the correct location.</para>

    <para><option>-DDBUS_INTERFACES_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces</option>:
    This option sets the correct installation path for a D-Bus interfaces file.
