compiling small KDE application
 

Hi, I've got Qt 3.1.2 and KDE 3.1.0 default installed on my Slackware 9.0 & I have problems with compiling small kde applications, for example 'caitoo', because there is an error when i run ./configure:

--------------------
checking for KDE headers installed... configure: error: your system is not able to compile a small KDE application!
Check, if you installed the KDE header files correctly.
--------------------

I made some corrections in my env, after querying google:

caitoo-0.6.6# echo $KDEDIR $QTDIR
/usr/include/kde /usr/include/qt
caitoo-0.6.6# ls -l /usr/include/kde /usr/include/qt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Dec 21 21:14 /usr/include/kde -> /opt/kde/include/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Dec 21 21:33 /usr/include/qt -> /usr/lib/qt/include

but there is still the same problem.

caitoo-0.6.6# tail -15 config.log
configure:4079: g++ -c -O2 -Wall -I/usr/include/kde -I/usr/include/qt conftest.C

whad did I miss?

Can you build anything?
I'd probably need to see the first errors in the config script
but my first guess is you are missing 'probably' some c libraries.

What do you see when you type gcc -v
?
Just a guess...

# gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-slackware-linux/3.2.2/specs
Configured with: ../gcc-3.2.2/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-checking --with-gnu-ld --verbose --target=i386-slackware-linux --host=i386-slackware-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.2.2

& first error in config.log

configure:2459: warning: implicit declaration of function `XtMalloc'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-slackware-linux/3.2.2/../../../../i386-slackware-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lX
t
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 2456 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"

Hmmm. so it is a size thing? memory allocation?
Sorry can't help you there.
(But what about my question can you compile anything?)
It could still be missing libs...

if compiling anything means like this:

# cat >a.c
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
printf("testing;)\n");
return 0;
}

# gcc a.c
# ./a.out
testing;)

then, I say, YES, I can compile anything.

I try to download newest KDE source.. maybe this helps me

Sorry, no I meant as in build: configure.
configure, make, make install.
Have you installed programs this way before?

If you are on a new install of slackware maybe
you aren't set up as a developer system yet?

I have only problem with some kde progs like 'caitoo' as i sad and another app that I have is for example 'krabber'. Programs like newest samba, nmap:>, apache, etc compile succesfull. Only KDE progs fail.

I googled
and found:
we show how caitoo's usage of the KDE libraries differs from other applications

hope this helps,

Maybe you should start another post about
caitoo's usage of the KDE libraries?
Prolly under software instead of Newbies :)

I just tried to configure 'caitoo' remotely on my friend's machine;). He has just installed Slackware 9.1,
and there is the same problem.

I'm just compiling the newest kde base&libs but It's the last thing I do for it.. If it won't work I'll just search for some another download manager for X;)
