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 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Metalink Discussion" group.
