Problem building kdebase-3.1_alpha1

SyKnight

Anyone else experience this?

No. I compiled kde successfully (havent tried kdeedu or kdegames).

But....

Everyone who are trying to install Kde3.1Alpha - remember to remove old kde packages. I had 3.0.1 installed and after install KDE3.1 worked funky and everything crashed a lot. Konq refused to work at all. Then i removed all kde stuff(even deleted /bin/kde/ dir) and after a while(compiling) everything worked perfectly.

I should clarify. This system has nothing on it, it's nice and fresh

SyKnight, whats with the bump posts? I've seen a few of them from you lately.

I have the same problem. In order to slice compilation time (I am not the only user on the PC), I first emerged xfree, then qt3, arts, kdelibs, kebuild, kebuildpart and then (just an attempt...) kdebase.

It has a long list of undefined reference in kcontrol/kfontinstall/thumbnail/FontThumbnail. Many (cannot remember if all) start with 'FTC' prefix. We should first determine from where these symbols should get defined.

I am currently having this same problem. I seem to have isolated it to building kdelibs. About ten minutes into the compilation process, it cacks out with an error, citing the file libkdecore_la.all_cpp.cpp.

I've seen posts elsewhere that seem to suggest this is a memory problem. See http://lists.gentoo.org/pipermail/gentoo-user/2002-March/016512.html . I've got the recommended 256 MB swap space enabled, but I'm unsure about VM.

One other thing: like the poster before, I installed a couple pieces prior to my attempt with KDE. I installed XFree and QT yesterday, and tried KDE last night. Could this be part of the problem?

Cheers,
Aaron.

Okay, I thought I'd go around the problem by installing Gnome. But the same problem happened again, this time during the build of X11-libs/pango. Looks like in this one there were parsing errors of some kind. Is there a way to view emerge logs somewhere? I can't find anything like that, otherwise I could give a better description of the errors.

I did a clean install of everything yesterday. I started from the stage3 then compiled X. I also ran into an error in kdebase when compiling KDE 3.1 Alpha1. Then I commented out the menushadow patch line from the kdelibs ebuild, as well as the kdebase ebuild. It worked fine after that, no menu shadows of course.

Thanks Jack,
But how do you comment out the menushadows? Which file is it in the ebuild?

oops, sorry for the lack of info. Here's more.

In kde-base/kdebase/kdebase-3.1_alpha1.ebuild change

I had the same problem with all the missing FTC_xxx constants when installing to a clean system. To fix it i did:

Hello, I'm experience the same problem, but mine can be narrowed down to emerging kde-base/arts .. anyone have any ideas? i've tried emerging freetype, and i've also searched for that "PATCHES="..." to uncomment, but i can't find that since its not an alpha build, but a later one.. i think? Here is the code, if it will help in finding a solution for all!:

mcopidl.o: In function `std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >& std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >::append<char const*>(char const*, char const*)':

If you made it this far, im really sorry for the mess

, i am having a hard time using the "CODE" option and other things to post

Any special reason to install kde 3.1 alpha when we have had beta for a long time??

venkatas · Posted: Fri Sep 27, 2002 4:57 am Post subject: re: bloody

whooops, sorry i forgot to mention that i *AM* using the newest beta version from doing emerge rsyncs... i just posted my problem on this thread because other ppl seemed to have similar problems..

It works fine for me here. I had to give it a little Tender Loving Care (symlink /var/tmp/portage/kdelibs-3.0.7 to /var/tmp/portage/kdelibs-3.1_beta1)

But aside from that little kink, it's up and running happily here.

Before unmasking and emerging I did unmerge kde3.0.3 and then took out any remainders (my profile, primarily)
