Problem installing Tomahawk

Hi people, today I was trying to install Tomahawk from source tarball as seen on their GitHub page (https://github.com/…/tomahawk/wiki/Debi … structions) and CMake encountered the following error: http://pastebin.com/0YpqGBLy.
I tried searching the log output at /home/martin/tomahawk/build/CMakeFiles/ --> http://pastebin.com/ikL5kqKP  but still no clues.
I am not Linux-wise enough to see what this output means:

martin@BE-BOP:~/tomahawk/build$ cmake -DBUILD_WITH_QT4=ON ..
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:14 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "ECM" (requested
  version 1.7.0) with any of the following names:

    ECMConfig.cmake
    ecm-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "ECM" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "ECM_DIR"
  to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "ECM" provides a
  separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/home/martin/tomahawk/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log"

.

What I've tried doing:
-updating and upgrading the system with apt-get
-...
-having a glass of wine and repeating the Debian Build Instructions (led to the same results).

Any directions you can point? Thank you in advance.

Re: Problem installing Tomahawk

I remember messing with Tomahawk before and being frustrated. I recall a lot of supporting packages needing to be backported to make it work in jessie.

I'm not doing anything, let me see what I can see. I'll post back...

I don't care what you do at home. Would you care to explain?

I'll try backporting it from here and see what happens...

Re: Problem installing Tomahawk

Well, that created and installed the python-tomahawk packages, but not tomahawk player. The next step, if it were me, would be to try using this GitHub repo, but I don't think I'm going to mess with it right now.

What the hell am I saying? Old links are old.

OK, I'm going to try this, then I'm done for now...

Re: Problem installing Tomahawk

Aaw, crap. I remember now, this app is QT. You're on your own, I can't be bothered installing all the needed libraries.
