compiling kdebase multiple errors

I am compiling kde-3.5.12 in a slackware 13 environment with no previous KDE. I have installed everything with --prefix=/usr including qt3, tqtinterface, arts & kdelibs After patching qt3 i have compiled tqtinterface, arts and kdelibs without error however compiling kdebase gives multiple errors. The file index.cache.bz2 is missing for all folders in doc. Instead of just creating the file (touch index.cache.bz2) i removed all directories in kdebase/doc (won't need them anyway) and that got me through. The next error was shutdowndlg.cpp:83:39: error: cannot call constructor 'QImage::QImage' directly shutdowndlg.cpp:83:39: error: for a function-style cast, remove the redundant '::QImage' Removing the ::QImage from the function allowed compilation to continue. krandrbindings.cpp:31:2: error: cannot call constructor 'KShortcut::KShortcut' directly krandrbindings.cpp:31:2: error: for a function-style cast, remove the redundant '::KShortcut' Again removing the direct call allowed me to continue. The next one is where i am stuck and not sure how to proceed. iccconfig.cpp:148:6: warning: unused variable 'i' iccconfig.cpp:149:12: warning: unused variable 'iccFileArrayNew' I tried removing the unused variables but i get a slew of these errors with the randr section. So far i have downgraded make, autoconf and automake to slack 12.2 versions and they have worked ok up until now. I am also not using the -j switch during compilation depsite using quad core processor. Can anyone advise what i may be missing or what i have done wrong? Kind Regards, Jay
