Additionally, the same problem exists with phonon-backend-xine-4.4.4;
CMake Error at xine/CMakeLists.txt:45 (message):
  xine-lib v1.1.90 was found on your system.  This version contains major
  changes compared to 1.1.x and has not been tested properly for use with
  this backend.  Consider downgrading to version
  1.1.9.http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9655&package_id=9732


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
Creating /var/log/lunar/compile/phonon-backend-xine-4.4.4.bz2 


The up coming phonon-4.4.4 has split out the backends into their own; see here 
for some info;

http://apachelog.wordpress.com/2011/01/21/phonon-family-4-4-4/

At this point the Phonon folks for the most part consider xine to be 
unmaintained. As I understand the new detection behavior, the order of 
preference used by kde is/will be;

gstreamer backend > vlc-backend > xine-backend

You will/can of course change that in systemsettings.
