Building kdebase

The kdebase build failed within a few minutes. I'm attaching a log. Nothing compiled. Only the end message that configure was done and that's all. arts and kdelibs from svn are installed. I would think that if kdelibs did not compile correctly I would see some kind of error message, but I see nothing. I am not using any -j flags with the make command. I'm inclined to think something is awry with the makefiles, but I'm guessing. The odd thing is after configure completes the next command in the build script is: make || exit 1 Yet the build script tries to continue as though make exited without errors. Here is the affected portion of the build script: ================================================== CFLAGS=$CPUOPT \ CXXFLAGS=$CPUOPT \ ./configure \ --prefix=${PREFIX} \ --sysconfdir=${SYSCONFDIR} \ --libdir=${LIBDIR} \ --with-ssl-dir=${PREFIX} \ --with-shadow \ --disable-debug \ --disable-dnssd \ --program-prefix="" \ --program-suffix="" \ --build=$TARGET-slackware-linux make || exit 1 ================================================== Weird. Quite weird! Some messages I noticed: ================================================== acinclude.m4:6591: warning: underquoted definition of _LT_AC_TRY_LINK ================================================== unknown icon type in kate/pics/Makefile.in (sessionchooser.png) ================================================== checking linux/cdrom.h usability... no checking linux/cdrom.h presence... yes configure: WARNING: linux/cdrom.h: present but cannot be compiled configure: WARNING: linux/cdrom.h: check for missing prerequisite headers? configure: WARNING: linux/cdrom.h: see the Autoconf documentation configure: WARNING: linux/cdrom.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled" configure: WARNING: linux/cdrom.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result configure: WARNING: linux/cdrom.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence checking for linux/cdrom.h... yes ================================================== A header file exists at /usr/include/linux/cdrom.h I am using 2.6.27.48 but I leave the original 2.6.27.7 headers installed because that is what the Slackware 12.2 release was compiled against. I never have had a problem before with kernel headers. Darrell
