 |
|
I am using gentoo on several machines now...
Just installed 1.4rc1 on a Dual P3/800MHz, but emerging kde always fails (I even tried emerge -e kde!)
Compile error (due to freetype?):
| Code: |
i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../.. -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/kde/3/include -I/usr/qt/3/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -DNDEBUG -O2 -march=pentium3 -mcpu=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -c xftlex-kfi.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/xftlex-kfi.o

|
Has some one experimented that too?
I've looked up the source and can't quite get why this would fail!
| Code: |
Bool
XftListValueListCompare (XftValueList *v1orig,
XftValueList *v2orig,
XftQual qual);
|
I'd go for the include part at the top of the file that tells what lib is used:
| Code: |
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#ifdef FREETYPE2
#include "X11/Xft/XftFreetype.h" /* CPD 31/05/2001 -- Added X11/Xft/ */
#else
#include "X11/Xft/Xft.h" /* CPD 31/05/2001 -- Added X11/Xft/ */
#endif
#define yylval KfiXftConfiglval /* CPD 06/06/2001 */
|
And again I could be completely wrong...
A bit sad I can't get to use kde on such a box where for once it could actually be used!
Well I'll stick to fluxbox as on my other boxes until I (or you  ) get the problem solved
Any subgestions are more than welcome.
Thanks

i think it has something to do with the latest portage tree... ive been getting similar errors left and right in varying apps. the latest is the gimp. the other apps i could live without but gimp... gotta have it.
i dunno what the hell's goin on because i followed the same install steps on the old HD that i did on this new one, and nothing's working right...

| Posted: Sun Oct 27, 2002 9:43 am Post subject: Simple fix |
|
|
This also happens with 1.2 Release (current rsync'd portage tree). The problem is KDE 3.0.4 Font Install program uses types that are not defined in XFree86 4.2.1. I am not sure who is at fault, I just know that the new X changed Xft.h and this breaks kde-base-3.0.4.
There is a hard/long fix and a simple fix/workaround.
Hard:
1) Remove XFree 4.2.1
2) Install XFree 4.2.0
3) Emerge kde-base
4) Upgrade XFree to 4.2.1 (or leave it at 4.2.0 if you want)
Simple (no recompile needed)
Backup /usr/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h
Replace with http://theninthbit.com/gentoo/Xft.h (this is from XFree 4.2.0)
emerge kde-base
Replace the old Xft.h with the backup copy you made.
This worked for me, so let me know if it doesnt work for you, but it should. I tested on several boxes I have. |

... for kdebase at least!
Emerging kdeaddons right now.
Thanks for the hint. While I thought my compile would use
#include "X11/Xft/XftFreetype.h"
over the Xft.h one, but anyway, thanks and it seems to actually work.
Still don't know who is at fault neither, might have a look at the kde website later today.
Thanks again...

This is wonderful. I've been driving myself crazy on this one. My workaround has been: use Gnome for the meantime, and run an
emerge sync && emerge --update world && emerge kde
every few days or so, hoping someone fixes the problem.
Thanks for posting the workaround.

I went for zeroone's simple solution and it worked like a charm.
I had come so far in my debugging that I found that there was a missing typedef before I decided to check the forums.
I guess its not a GenToo bug after all, much rather like software inconsistensies between current version of kde and Xfree
Lucky us that we have people on this forum that finds solution to the problems.
Keep up the good work |

| Yes, it has been impossible to compile the update for KDE for weeks and weeks on my 1.2 server. I think this is the record for the longest I've seen a major package stay broken on Gentoo. |

# cd /usr/include/X11/Xft
# mv Xft.h Xft.h.save
# wget -O Xft.h 'https://bugs.gentoo.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=5007'
# emerge kde
# mv Xft.h.save Xft.h
This is a workaround. As was mentioned before, a bug has already been filed and a fix is in the works. |

Thanks Everybody! This thread exemplifies the reason I am now proud to call myself a gentoo-user! The quality of info in this thread and associated with gentoo in general is unmatched.
The positive attitude in these forums is appreciated as well. Once again, Thanks!

There have been a ton of threads lately having to do with KDE installation problems, and most seem to be at least partially related. Let's try to concentrate them all here (I've made it sticky).

| I have now installed kde-3.0.2 without problems, so that can be a good alternative if you can get the latest version to work. |

| What's about the new kdebase-3.0.4-r2 ebuild? It seems to patch the Xft.h but the compile still aborts... |

|

I must suck.. For like the past 2 weeks I havent been able to get kde to merge... PLZ HELP..
Maybe the summation of these errors created my latest error. 
Problem 1 = gimp1.2.3 cannot compile error
Solution = Different Version of gimp compiled 1.2.3-r2
Problem 2 = xfree4.2.1 + kde = no worky
Solution = Installed xfree4.2.0-r12
Final and Latest Problem 
3 = emerge kdebase throws errors
These errors refer to
/var/tmp/portage/kde-libs/kde-libs3.0.4
Its says it can not compile and can not delete these files.
Error -6662
.... Help.. What do I do now ?
I am losing hope... Do i need to reinstall gentoo again ???
Thanks in advanced. |
