I've moved on to kdenetwork. The same build instructions for kdeadmin seem to work, but the build of kopete fails with:

linux/videodev.h no such file or directory

I can find the .h file on an older version of linux, but kernel version 3.0.4 only has videodev2.h. It looks like it is included from two files:

kopete/libkopete/avdevice/videodevice.h kopete/plugins/motionautoaway/motionawayplugin.cpp

Changing the include in these files to videodev2.h does not work (and I would have been suprised if it did).

Does anyone know how to work around this issue? Excluding kopete will complete the build, but that certainly isn't optimal.

Check the bugzilla for patches. The one you seek for the videodev.h problem is the second patch in bug report 695 (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=695).

Check the bugzilla for patches with each package you build. I posted many of them. :)
