    <para>This package provides a <application>Phonon</application> backend
    which utilizes the <application>GStreamer</application> media framework.
    Its library is used by both KDE4 and KF5, but they must be linked to <xref

    do not conflict with each other. </para>

    <para><option>-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release</option>: This switch is used to
    apply higher level of compiler optimizations.</para>

    <para><option>-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib</option>: This switch is used to
     get libraries to install to /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64 on a 64 bit 
     system.</para>

    <para><option>-DPHONON_BUILD_PHONON4QT5=ON</option>: This switch is used to
    ensure that Qt5 version of the backend is built even if Qt4 is present.</para>

    <para><option>-D__KDE_HAVE_GCC_VISIBILITY=NO</option>: This switch is used to
    disable a check that would cause cmake to fail when using Qt-5.4.2 or later.</para>
