For mp3 and ogg I use ffdshow
For wav to play, uncompressed audio support has to be DISABLED in ffdshow
For flac I needed to install coreflac. ffdshow basically supports it too,
but only when in a container

There are of course a bunch of bugs left in Amarok, but basically, it's
fully working now.
I wanted to emerge kdebase-runtime to get icons and eyecandy, but the
current trunk seems broken.

Much thanks go to SaroEngels and _Brandon_ which guided me through the
procedure. Without them I wouldn't have succeeded. Now as soon as kdebase
gets fixed, I guess Amarok is in good enough shape to be the new main player
on this sys :)

Best regards

<div dir="ltr">I&#39;ll just list the different steps I took.<br><br>First I followed this guide: <br><a href="http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4/Windows/emerge" target="_blank">http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4/Windows/emerge</a><br>

<br>I chose mingw as compiler so I did not install any SDK.<br>I was advised that in order to save time I should modify the emerge/portage/extragear/<div dir="ltr">amarok*.py file and comment out the hard deps for ruby and kdebase-runtime. <br>

<br>After that I simply ran emerge amarok, which went through until it
hit phonon, which wouldn&#39;t compile as the trunk was broken. I
circumvented with emerge --target=4.2.0 phonon<br><br>After it was done, I did emerge amarok again and it continued to build flawlessly till the end.<br>
<br>Amarok started without problems, of course lacking icons etc, but
was generally working. However, no playback could be achieved. It
turned out that the needed bin/phonon_backend/phonon_ds9.dll was
missing, which got fixed after I was instructed to use --target 4.2 for
phonon rather than 4.2.0 So after emerge -i --target=4.2 phonon, ds9
was compiled properly.<br>
<br>From that moment on, playback was possible. I eventually got everything running using this combination of codecs:<br><br>For mp3 and ogg I use ffdshow<br>For wav to play, uncompressed audio support has to be DISABLED in ffdshow<br>
