Re: KDE 4
by she on Saturday 15/Mar/2008, @06:37

I am running here a self-compiled KDE 3.5.9 without a problem.

Still up today, I was unable to compile 4.x

I had i810 problems... and noone was able to help me so far.

I am sorry to say, but even though 4.x will definitely kick ass,
right now it simply is not there.

The move to cmake wasnt the best, simply because it made
me more problems and googling for the error message also
wasnt helpful ... Cant there be a special report page
to the KDE project, where users who fail to compile something
can send their stuff in?

Only the move to CMake made several things possible. It is utter nonsense to say it is wrong just because you have one issue with it. Why don't you post a link to pastebin.com with your output?

Because someone might solve the issue, and what would they complain about, then? ;)

What is your exact CMake error message?

From what I can say the move to CMake was overdue. The autotools are so anachronistic while CMake is quite easy to use for me as programmer. For the user, it is not harder than autoconf.

As we're talking about build errors, I have some with the kdesvn-build script. Everything except for kdesupport, kdepimlibs, and extragear/libs. From the logs for kdelibs:

Linking CXX executable testkateregression
/home/kde4/kdesvn/build/qt-copy/lib/libQtSql.so.4: undefined reference to `QFactoryLoader::QFactoryLoader(char const*, QStringList const&, QString const&, Qt::CaseSensitivity)'

And for kdebase:

Linking CXX executable khc_indexbuilder
/home/kde4/kdesvn/build/qt-copy/lib/libQtSql.so.4: undefined reference to `QFactoryLoader::QFactoryLoader(char const*, QStringList const&, QString const&, Qt::CaseSensitivity)'

I'm using Qt 4.4.0-snapshot-20080310, installed from openSUSE's KDE:KDE4:Unstable:Desktop repository. Is this regression known?

What are i810 problems ?

And yes, there are at least two places where you can post build problems: the mailing list kde-buildsystem@kde.org and the bug tracker, there is a component "buildsystem" -> "cmake (KDE4).

Now while we're at it, just post it here.
