kdebase compile problem

eleanor · 02-10-2008, 07:22 AM

Hi, I just installed kdelibs without any problems, but when installing kdebase I get this error:

Code:

checking for GL... (cached) yes
checking for glXChooseVisual in -lGL... (cached) yes
checking "struct ucred"... yes
checking nogroup... nogroup
checking for getpeereid... no
checking for xmkmf... /usr/bin/xmkmf
checking X paths... failed
configure: error: /usr/bin/xmkmf (imake) failed.
Make sure you have all necessary X development packages installed.
On some systems a missing /lib/cpp symlink is at fault.

the end of config.log is:

Code:

sbindir='${exec_prefix}/sbin'
sharedstatedir='${prefix}/com'
supports_i8k_FALSE=''
supports_i8k_TRUE=''
sysconfdir='${prefix}/etc'

xdg_appsdir='${datadir}/applications/kde'
xdg_directorydir='${datadir}/desktop-directories'
xdg_menudir='${sysconfdir}/xdg/menus'

configure: exit 1

I really appreciate any suggestions that might fix my problem.

You need to install the imake utility from Xorg. Here are some build instructions --> http://cblfs.cross-lfs.org/index.php/Xorg7/Utilities

I have it compiled:

Code:

bash-3.2# whereis imake
imake: /usr/bin/imake /usr/man/man1/imake.1x /usr/share/man/man1/imake.1x

I also have:

Code:

bash-3.2# whereis xmkmf
xmkmf: /usr/bin/xmkmf /usr/man/man1/xmkmf.1x /usr/share/man/man1/xmkmf.1x

Oops, guess I should have read everything. Sorry.

Did you install X11 into the /usr hierarchy? Since imake is in /usr/bin, I presume that you did. Kdebase has /usr/X11R6 hardcoded as the search path for X headers. Try replacing this with /usr

Code:

sed -i "s@/usr/X11R6@/usr@g" $(grep -lr /usr/X11R6 *)

This is for version 3 of KDE, not version 4.

Also, did you check into this --> On some systems a missing /lib/cpp symlink is at fault.

eleanor · 02-10-2008, 08:48 AM

Yes I installed X in /usr...

I did what you suggested, and the same error appears.

Here:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2008-02-01 13:43 cpp -> ../usr/bin/cpp

Any other suggestion?

weibullguy · 02-10-2008, 09:39 AM

When you execute

Code:

./configure --help

is there a switch that allows you to point to the Xorg proto headers?

I think this is the one to go:

just don't know what to pass to them?

When I tried to recompile the imake I got this error:

Try deleting the imake source tree and unpack the tarball again so you're starting clean.

No. The first one is where you want the kdebase header files to be installed. You would only pass that if you didn't want them in the default location. The second and third ones are for finding headers and libraries somewhere odd such as your home directory. Since you installed Xorg in the /usr hierarchy, the headers and libraries are in standard locations. I was wondering (not being a KDE user myself) if there was a --with-x-includes=DIR switch.
