Nice to hear you are interested in contributing :) As a starter I suggest you go through all documents in and linked to from http://community.kde.org/Amarok/Development/Join, if you haven't done so already. In particular we strongly recommend to read the documents located in teh HACKING folder of the Amarok source. > I have looked at the junior jobs and am trying to work on > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300979 . Did you read all comments, especially Comment #6? There doesn't seem much left, as for teh shortcuts we would need to discuss this more in detail, so you should come up with suggestions on this list. > Also, I haven't been able to compile Amarok with KDE4_BUILD_TESTS=ON, I am > getting an error involving Gmock that I cannot figure out.

The problem is with Gmock currently, I suggest you build with KDE4_BUILD_TESTS=OFF for now, as we need to find a way to make Gmock usable again: as it seems one has to compile it specifically for each application, so it is currently not possible to use gmock as is. We are trying to find a solution about this, but doesn't seem so easy to solve, unfortunately.
