kde-3.5.3 released

Hi.

1. thanks for the work @ flameeyes

2. a few questions about as-needed. i didn't get it yet.
- is --as-needed enabled by default now?
- do I have to emerge kdelibs twice to benefit from --as-needed?
- if so, shouldn't all all kde packages be rebuild a second time then?

thx for clearance.

I haven't blogged about this because I'm still waiting to see the outcome on the iBook, although truedfx already tested and confirms.

The problem with kdelibs is a bug in binutils, so the filtering of the flag is going to be removed from kdelibs soon.
The solution to is either to build the first time kdelibs without --as-needed (or by unmerging the previous kdelibs) or to use the binutils 2.16.93 from my overlay ( look at http://farragut.flameeyes.is-a-geek.org/articles/2006/05/31/replacing-gitweb , there's the git overlay command) that has the patch needed.

Oh a note that might be interesting to know, seeing that there is people using modified eclasses that might come out as bugs for me

The kdenewldflags thing is totally pointless. --enable-new-dtags on Gentoo is a no-op, as it's _forcefully_ enabled by our binutils. --as-needed can (and *should*) be passed through LDFLAGS (see http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/asneeded.xml ).

It's for both your and my sake that I ask you all to limit the usage of modified eclasses, especially for this trivial thing that really does not do much magic right now

I had problems with artsplugin-mpeglib on KDE 3.5.2 as well. The 3.5.3 version fails with:

Okay this I missed

(actually I fixed the patch naming last night, I was still building kdevelop and I thought of fixing this afterward, but then I needed some sleep and i forgot about it)

It's fixed now, thanks for reporting

(if you want to fix locally, just remove the PATCHES line from the ebuild.

sorry to interrupt your LDFLAGs discussions, but:

will there monolithic ebuilds?

and if not: how to switch WITHOUT unmerging the monolithic ones first?

I really don't want to use the split ebuilds, if I don't have to.

Just allowed my desktop to compile 3.5.3 overnight and everything compiled without any problems and I must say that KDE is working better than ever so far. The best part though is

Monolithic ebuilds are in the works, genstef is handling them this time (I don't have a chroot ready and I'm still giving the second try to splits on ~ppc for the binutils fix and a few other things that I run there and not here).
They should be ready soon.

The but is not in gentoo's zilla because it does not make sense here since it's a non-release snapshot. It might be present in 2.17 too anyway, in which case I would ask for the patch to be merged in Gentoo's patchset. The patch in my overlay is the whole email message so it contains all you might want to know, it also contains the upstream bug to which it refers.

About the configure issue, you might want to look at its config.log to see what the error is. Suggestion: don't use -s as portage is stripping already at the end.

Argh. Just spent the last day compiling kde for the first time to try it out, and now I see this.
Now I have to start all over again.

Does your binutils (or this release of kde) fix problems with other kde apps which fail with --as-needed?
Each of the following failed for me, but compiled fine without --as-needed in LDFLAGS (was using the standard binutils 2.16.93 from portage);

khotkeys
kicker
kwin
kaddressbook
korganizer
konqueror

Thanks.

Oh, KD-120RD; you might want to remove the commented out part in your LDFLAGS.
If emerge info is showing it, it is possible it is still being passed, and with the preceding '#'.

Edit: another question; with the kdehiddenvisibility USE flag, should I or should I not have -fvisibility-inlines-hidden in CXXFLAGS?

This is strange..

After emerging all the new kde3.5.3 split packages I did an emerge -auDv world. With this output:

Try watching what it's trying to take it down with emerge -pvuDt world. But if you had umbrello installed, sync and should be fixed, I forgot about it in the first place and fixed it afterward.

I'm not using umbrello and an emerge -pvuDt world gives me this:

What works for me is an " emerge -a [package-name]-3.5.3 " . It's ok for me, because I don't want all the stuff. So far everything compiles fine (hopefully)

@roderick

That did it. (I should have seen that though, guess I was a little bit tired last night :wink:

)

Thanks for the help!

I'm having a similar problem. I've emerge kdelibs-3.5.3 with gcc-4.1.1 (at least twice) but when I try to emerge kdebase-meta I get:
