Hello,
I've been unofficially maintaining KDE3 (with help from a few others) for
Mandriva for over a year now and i'm currently trying to upgrade my
packages using the Trinity 3.5.12 sources. I've managed to get
tqtinterface, arts and kdelibs to build sucessfully, but kdebase is
failing while trying to build kappfinder with an error I can't solve. I've
included the build log.
- TQT is detected by the configure script
- I have added --enable-closure to the configure command
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Tim W

Hi,
If you are using autotools to configure Trinity, know that they are
buggy, and (if i'm correct *coughprobablynotcough*) no longer
supported for tqtinterface, arts, kdelibs, and kdebase.
You should start using cmake to compile Trinity and its features. :)
If you have been unofficially maintaining KDE3, where can I find your
spec files? I may wish to merge them with the Fedora and SuSE RPM spec
files to build from one location - build.opensuse.org.

You'll find the latest spec files for the working KDE 3 builds in the
SRPMS hosted at:
http://www.autotrain.org/mdv-kde/
The Trinity builds I have so far are on:
http://www.autotrain.org/mdv-kde/2010.2/
I've tended to do the minimum necessary to get things working, i'm not a
packaging expert and have largely been learning how rpm packaging works
as a result of building KDE 3.5 for Mandriva.
The announcements for the KDE 3.5 packages for Mandriva are here:
2010.1
http://forum.mandriva.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=181&t=128274
2010.0
http://forum.mandriva.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=181&t=120735
tarakbumba also put an improved set of 2010.0 packages on the Mandriva
Turkey site, my 2010.1 packages are based on these, so should represent
the current 'state of the art' for Mandriva.

That is definitely an Automake problem. Are you using SVN or the 3.5.12
tarballs?
I have run into that problem before, basically ever since an unknown
update to Auomake/Autoconf/etc. occurred. Robert is correct in that CMake
will replace Automake soon, and will definitely be preferred in the
future.
For some reason, $(LIB_QT) is not being added to the LD_ADD string during
processing of Makefile.am files. I don't know why this is; I do know that
it is platform dependent and that building still works on Debian
Lenny/Debian Squeeze, but is broken under Ubuntu Maverick.

Noted, i'll look into updating the build process to account for this.

I've tried manually adding $(LIB_QT) to the kappfinder/Makefile in this
line:
kappfinder_LDADD = $(LIB_KDEUI) $(LIB_KIO) $(LIB_QT)
But it doesn't help, so i'm guessing that's not enough (I'm a bit of a
novice with make files). Am I better of just switching to cmake with the
expectation that it will cure the problem, or is it worth trying to trace
this?

I fear that since they had to recklessly include it in the main
distribution, I may have
to recklessly Epoch for Mandriva as well.
