Comment:
This is never gonna be accepted in repos. Stable version (2.9.0) requires `qt4-devel` in `CmakeLists.txt`

````
find_package( Qt4 4.8.3 COMPONENTS QtCore QtGui QtScript QtSvg QtXml REQUIRED )
if(WITH_QTWEBKIT)
    find_package( Qt4 COMPONENTS QtWebkit REQUIRED)
endif()
````
Qt4 is not part of the Void packages or templates, support for Qt4 has been dropped and I don't believe it was ever a part of the Void repos or xbps-src.

Here's a dirty repack of Amarok builds  for Ubuntu.

But it requires so many old libraries, so many dependencies unresolved...

And these depends will probably depend on other depreciated depends, so... is it doable? Yes. Is it worth it? No. Even if you just repackage from deb/rpm, it'll still take a lot of time and effort. And some of those libs need to communicate with online services, most of them won't (not up to date protocols, things change), and even if they do, they're still insecure for online communication.
