Fwd: Google Code-In task claim

[Teo Mrnjavac]

Hello team,
as I don't know distro-specific stuff, I'd like to ask for your help
on behalf of a GCI student of mine. He can't build Amarok and from his
description I'm suspecting it might be because of missing -devel
packages or something like that? Do you have an idea as to what might
the issue be?

Yes, there are a few difficulties. Mainly, I have not been able to
tell exactly where to reorganize the "Authors" list, as there are two
different areas, one in which their information is provided and one in
which they are ordered into a QList. I am trying to ascertain this by
compiling it; however, cmake keeps returning an error that it does not
know what the "kde_add_library"  command is. As a result, I am at a
deadlock as to what to do. I have tried to find some resources on the
Internet, but my efforts have not produced anything yet. I wanted to
exhaust all resources before contacting anyone. Can you help?
Thanks,
Bharath Mohan
