Hi, Is this branch available somewhere? I may take a lot and help you with that.
About the (K)Ubuntu 19+: indeed it comes with Mysql 8, which no longer supports Mysql Embedded. Still Ubuntu 19.10 provides MariaDB 10.3 as alternative, which has a compatible library (libmariadbd) that works exactly the same as mysql At the following bug report I have attached a Docker image for Ubuntu 19.10 that builds Amarok packages with MariaDB. Even if you are not familiar with Docker, you can use it as a reference to build your own Amarok. Let me know if you have issues building it. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414407 Pedro On Tue, Feb 25, 2020 at 8:20 PM subscription1 <llsub...@zudiewiener.com> wrote: > Given that there is no support for the embedded MySql in (native) Ubuntu > 19+ I've started an implementation of SQLite as a possible alternative. > > I've created a branch that creates the SQLite DB, loads albums and > creates/plays dynamic playlists. > > There is (obviously) more work to do, but it's a start, > > Not sure where this should go next (if at all). > > Cheers, > > Leo > >
