Hi,

akode will not build. I lost the exact error message as I got fed up with it and hacked around it, but, at first, during make it complained of a missing libakode.so. After some digging I discovered that file was linked to a libakode.so.2.0.0 which didn't exist. Out of curiosity I moved a local copy of that .so into the temp library folder to see what would happen, and the compilation made it to the install stage, but then complained about more missing .so files, and I can only conclude that the ebuild was not doing any linking. Like I said I've worked around it, I disabled the arts use flag for the time being as I've got 427 more packages to update and don't have time to deal with this right now. Does anyone else run into this issue?

Another user fixed a very similar error with Amarok 1.4 by masking ">=sys-devel/autoconf-2.64". I will try this and report back. Also, does KDE 3.5 require GCC 4.2 or earlier? Trying to emerge many KDE 3.5 packages makes them die complaining of libstdc++ lacking "GLIBCXX_3.4.11" unless I use GCC 4.2. Is there anyway around this?

I use gcc-4.3.2, and have been for some time. How often do you sync?

Cheers,
Pappy

I switched to 4.4 myself. My system did in fact go un-updated for several months, but I thought the error message translated to simply "your libstdc++ is too new for this package". Apparently I was wrong, because after wiping out 3.5, running emerge -uDN world && emerge -e world, and then emerging 3.5 again, and 75/250 packages have emerged without incident, so I must have spoken too soon. Will report back if any errors pop up.

KDE-3.5 is a lovely thing...and I'm glad that there are people working on it to keep it current, or as close as possible. Hurray for kde-sunset...now if I could figure out why I can't upload to the kde-sunset git.

Cheers,
Pappy

For the record, KDE 3.5.x in kde-sunset is fine with GCC 4.4.x simply because it was also fine when it was in Portage. The first version of GCC that's *not* tested with KDE 3.5.x ebuilds is 4.5.x, and it will most likely cause build-time problems, ones that are rather easy to fix.

What about Trinity? I'm still soldiering along with kde-sunset on 2 machines, but Trinity looks like it has rapidly improved 3.5 to the point where I wish I had it. Has anybody got it working? I'm not afraid to try to compile it, but I've never written an ebuild, so I'm no help there.

I saw some chatter some time ago about kde-sunset and trinity being combined, but i don't know where that went. I saw some posts along the lines of "it would be a good idea" and there's been nothing since.

Has anybody heard anything?

Soldiering on? hehehe.

I have KDE-3 on two machines, and I swear by it. I finally bit the bullet and went for KDE-4.5 on another machine. All I can say is the updated apps work better with Xfce4 as the actual Manager. Plasma makes me gag. No Desktop, indeed!

The only truly good thing I've seen out of the KDE-4 update was that they finally got konqueror to update dynamically, like Thunar. Other than that, in the words of Miwwicent, the Swobovian Wabbit, "Feh!"

Cheers,
Pappy

And apparently, Trinity is still in development. Here is their web page for more details.

Cheers,

I finally bit the bullet and went up to 4.4.4-r2. I'm actually still in process on this machine, my file server, and the web server. Core-too is done. Apparently, this is a good thing as the kernel initialization time for this machine is back down in the three second range. That makes me happy

Cheers,
Pappy
