Thanks,

Well, it'd need a couple of KDE dependencies. Here a few of them:

i) kdelibs-devel (KDElibs development packages)
ii) qt4-devel (Qt4 development packages)
ii) KIO-devel(KDE's KIO development packages)
iii) Nepomuk (Semantic Desktop for KDE - development packages)
iv) SQLlite ( Core and development packages)
v) Strigi ( Metadata extractor for torrent files - development packages)
vi) QCA2 (Qt Cryptographic Architecture - for hashes verification -
development packages)
vii) QGpGme ( GPG for Qt - for signatures verification - development packages )
viii) libktorrent
ix) libmms

In addition to these, there might be some more missing dependencies. I
guess Lukas would be able to provide a more complete list of them.

While compiling, make sure that you're on the git branch
"metalink-http" or the branch with the latest commit. Master is still
on the old stable version.

Best Regards,
Aish Raj
