I am just now compiling/installing KDE 2.2, so maybe I'll grab this while I'm at it :)

OT: has anyone had any trouble using objprelink with KDE2.2 final? The patch worked fine for kdelibs, but when I patch kdebase it causes autoconf to hang on an infinite recursion when I run 'make'. Maybe it's just my version of autoconf. I'm running Slackware 8.0. I would really like to get this to work!

qt kdelibs and kdebase all compiled perfectly while using objprelink on my debian unstable box. Limit the level of recursion to 500 and see if that helps. I want to try kde without objprelink; once the app has fired up, it seems to run slower.

OT: can any1 explain --enable-final?

--enable-final is just for optimisation.

All sources files are appended in one big source file, and then compiled. It allows some bette opt. but requires a lot of RAM to compile.

Actually the main interest is not better optimisation but (much) better compile times.

This is no joke either. First time I tried it, the compile finished so quickly I thought something was busted.. nope.. worked fine. :)

It doesn't always though, some projects can't be built with --enable-final.

How much memory do you have?
I have not tried it as it warns that you need a lot of memory.

You have to return autoconf form pasture in slack 8, the new one is not really compatible.

On the subject of objprelink, has anybody managed to run it succesfully on RH6.2(with compiler updated to gcc-2.95.3 of course)? Do I need to update other packages(eg binutils) also? Does anyone else still run RH6.2? :-)

Now, off to compile koffice. :-)

- Use a pre 2.50 autoconf
AND/OR
- Rude hack!
move m4 to gm4 and then make an 'm4' shell script: /usr/bin/gm4 -L2000 $@

There's a way to set the M4 recursion with an environment variable, but I could not quickly find documentation on it.

I did notice that most/all of the packages take more time to compile using autoconf 2.50
