Just completed another complete rebuild of TDE with
gcc47 with NO makeflags at all (just to make sure building wasn't an issue) knemo
shows
the exact same behavior - no modules found. kcontrol opens and lists the
main headings on the left, but it is completely empty:

I can't figure out what this could be. Everything
that built, built without crashing. The only build failures I had were:
tde-kipi-plugins - error: redeclaration of 'TQListViewItemIterator it'
tde-tdepim - error: redeclaration of 'TQMap<TQGuardedPtr<KMFolder>,
int>::Iterator it'
tde-k3b - error: redeclaration of
'K3bAudioEditorWidget::Range* r'
digiam - still dead with libpng15 issue.
There seems to be a common thread in the failures
above. I have no idea how to solve redeclaration issues. The only thing I can think of
for the current kcontrol and knemo, etc.. module failure issues is there is
something similar going on that isn't being flagged as 'fatal' during the
build but that is killing the modules in tdelibs nonetheless.
Looks like gcc 4.7 will require some major code cleanup. However, today I ran across this
response in a forum discussion:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/zoneminder-1-25-0-won…
Perhaps some of the 4.7 problems will be resolved by manually adding unistd.h in the
preprocessor includes.
This document explains the changes in gcc 4.7:

Somebody more experienced with compilers could help by translating that information into a
wiki how-to of what types of failures to expect, what types of cures will help, and when
those cures need to be explicitly defined in the build process.
