I have tried to compile K3b-0.11.14 on OpenBSD 3.5 patch branch. Success = 0.

I have installed all kde-related packages from the OpenBSD frp site (kde 3.2.1, qt-mt-3.2.1 etc). Unfortunately, there is no K3B package, nor is there a port in the ports tree. When I tried to compile my own, I get:

------------------
./configure
------------------
Configure results:
------------------------------------------
Ogg Vorbis support: no
You are missing the Ogg-Vorbis headers and libraries
The Ogg Vorbis decoding and encoding plugins won't be compiled.

Mp3 decoding support (libmad): no
You are missing the libmad headers and libraries
The Mp3 decoding plugin won't be compiled.

FLAC support: no
You are missing the FLAC++ headers and libraries
The FLAC decoding plugin won't be compiled.

Audio resampling: using K3b version

Resmgr support: no

Audioplayer available (aRts) yes

Compile K3bSetup 2: yes

Good - your configure finished. Start make now

So, what is it? Is anyone of you running K3B on OpenBSD 3.5? If so, how did you install it?

Thanks,

I don't see any mention what so ever of K3B on any OpenBSD mailing list archives. Is it not a very popular application? There also aren't any hits on Google that have both OpenBSD and K3B in the same page.

It looks like you'll have to hack a patch together if you want it to work on OpenBSD. It seems like the K3B creators didn't have platform portability in mind.

I haven't found info on lists and google either. Strange, this usually never happens. It is hard to believe that no one out there actually uses K3B on OpenBSD.

Well... can't you use xcdroast? Just a suggestion

I thought about using xcdroast, but in order to burn dvds with it I need cdrecord-pro. K3B uses growisofs which does not need any additional licences.

OK, just for the record, the port maintainer of qt-3.3.3 and some other kde-related stuff replied on ports@openbsd.org that he was planning to release K3B and qt-3.3.3 ports sometime in the future. This will solve all problems.
