Yeah. Problem is that no one seems to want the job of organizer (including me!).
Well.. i don't want it because i don't really have enough knowledge about c/c++,cmake,automake etc.. to be competent enough. Also the mix from automake/cmake seems to be the biggest to not remove/rewrite the eclasses from ground up. Maybe we should start with a clean cmake-only overlay to get things streamlined? It might take some time to get everything in there, but seems to be the only clean solution.
The eclasses seem to be accretions that go back all the way to the dawn of KDE3--I mean, I found a comment in there that was about 3.2. Probably some of the code is cruft that could be thrown out, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to be able to tell which bits are junk and which are still useful.
Yes, they have only been fixed to work with newer kde-versions.
The ebuild also came down to the following error which seems to be an code-error?
kxinewidget.cpp:2641:66: error: invalid conversion from âconst char* const*â to âchar**â [-fpermissive]
Looks like a code error to me, too . . . Pointer casting like this is one of the reasons I hate C/C++--in a sane language, that would never have compiled to begin with, and the original coder would have had to fix it.
Say, which arch are you on?
I'm on amdfam10.
BTW it also seems that there are problems detecting the correct qt-path when qt4 is installed (just tried installing sopcast, to watch the handball-em final, it's not being broadcasted in germany;( ).
