KDE 4 in gentoo portage? - Part 2

Dont Panic · Posted: Sun Sep 21, 2008 3:37 pm Post subject:

From what I can tell, both kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi-0.1.2 (the dependency for KDE 3.5 with the avahi USE flag) and kde-base/kdelibs-4.1.1-r2 want to make a libkdnssd.so library.

If you don't have the kdeprefix USE flag set, you'll get a file collision on emerge (or you would have before they put in the check for kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi).

With kdeprefix, the libkdnssd.so for kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi-0.1.2 goes in /usr/lib, and the libkdnssd.so for kde-base/kdelibs-4.1.1-r2 goes in /usr/kde/4.1/lib/.

It still seems like it leaves some potential for conflicts.

I tried to build kdelibs-4.1.1-r3, but it fails (als did already 4.1.1-r2 which I tried yesterday):

Does your Kopete have Jabber support? (I use 4.1, but I've switched my keywords to 4.2 just now)

Yes, my kopete has jabber support, but the 4.2 is not yet built here and 4.1.1 still is the old kdesvn-overlay version, since without kdelibs, I cannot compile kopete.

THen I nmade a mistake somewhere - mine misses the option of adding my jabber accounts.

I am trying to install kde-4.1 on gentoo using the kde-testing overlay and there is a problem with qt. As explained on the wiki (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_KDE4), I unmasked strigi-0.5 and phonon-4.2. The problem is that these 2 ebuilds seem to depend of different version of qt belonging to the same slot. Here is what I got when I emerge kdebase-startkde:4:

!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:

x11-libs/qt:4

('ebuild', '/', 'x11-libs/qt-4.3.3', 'merge') pulled in by
('ebuild', '/', 'app-misc/strigi-0.5.11', 'merge')

('ebuild', '/', 'x11-libs/qt-4.4.2', 'merge') pulled in by
('ebuild', '/', 'media-sound/phonon-4.2.0-r1', 'merge')

Is there a way to solve this problem ?
Thanks for your help.

The already installed version of app-misc/strigi is depending on the existing qt-4.3, so you'll need to force a re-install of strigi.

You can 'emerge kdebase-startkde:4 app-misc/strigi', or if that doesn't work, you may have to delete the app-misc/strigi package and install it after you install the new version of qt.

I don't remember if it mattered, but I installed x11-libs/qt-4.4.* on a separate emerge pass before I installed KDE 4.1.

I managed to get strigi installed but there is a problem with phonon. When I try to install it, it shows that it depens on qt-4.3.3 and qt-coreat the same time:

Perhaps some interesting information about KDE4 in Gentoo, about political reasons, etc. Also read the comments: http://www.freehackers.org/blogs/orzel/2008/09/26/kde-412-tagged-gentoo-land-frozen/

[EDIT] added:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~jmbsvicetto/kde-guide.xml which I got from http://jkt.flaska.net/blog/State_of_KDE_4.html

hey guys im trying to install kde-testing, and it asked to unsmask a few more things then the regular ones in the given keywords file, but ok, i did.

then it started installing, no prob(im not using kdeprefix)... the it stoped on soprano out of some issue with downloading it.
it tries a few mirrors, they dont work, then it goes to sourceforge, and SF gives it a broken file, with 1% the size.
i dont know how to manually DL, and tell the emerge that i did it, so...

anyone got any hints, ideas, alternatives?
i'd love any, i just wanna use kde4.1.

just for the record, i used:http://dev.gentoo.org/~jmbsvicetto/kde-guide.xml
:wink:

Yeah! KDE 4.1.2 has not been released yet, but it's already in the portage.
Gentoo is back as it used to be!

You mean in testing overlay as I don't see it in the main tree? In the testing overlay it looks like they already work on 4.2 for some time=)

Boccaccio · Apprentice Joined: 19 Jul 2005 Posts: 286

No, it really seems to be in the main tree: http://packages.gentoo.org/

Yehah!

Many thanks to the Gentoo KDE team!

You're great!

...

But there's a but: I think the KDE people only open up the release tarballs before the actual release on the condition that distributions prepare and add it at the official release date - are the ebuilds scheduled to only be available for rsync on the release date?

i realized this an hour ago and ended up with a broken system.
now i don't even have 4.0 which i unmerged just before wanting to install 4.1...
can't install 4.0 nor 4.1, not even libkonq-3.5.9 (which i unmerged as well accidentally)...
there are files missing in portage tree...

You'll have to wait for KDE.org to release the source. Once that's happened, the 4.1.2 ebuilds will go ~.

I got 4.1.2 ebuilds in my emerge --sync today :-)
