How to rebuild package from source to enable mp3 support

[Carthik Sharma]

I want to use the musicbrainz features in Amarok. The libtunepimp
package shipped with Ubuntu does not support mp3 files. I want to
rebuild the package from source enabling mp3 support. I know there are
pre-re-built packages that do this that are available from various
sources, but for once, I want to learn how it is done, and "roll it
myself". Can some kind soul please help me out with this?

I got as far as figuring out that I have to $sudo apt-get source
libtunepimp2c2 and then edit the /debian/rules files. However, i don't
find any --configure statements in that file. So how do I add/edit the
configure statements.

Also when I did a $sudo apt-get build-dep libtunepimp2c2, I get an
error message:
E: Build-Depends dependency for libtunepimp cannot be satisfied
because no available versions of package libflac-dev can satisfy
version requirements

Thank you,
Carthik.
