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
conftest.C: In function `int main()':
conftest.C:6: no method `KApplication::kde_htmldir'
conftest.C:7: no method `KApplication::kde_appsdir'
conftest.C:8: no method `KApplication::kde_icondir'
conftest.C:9: no method `KApplication::kde_sounddir'
conftest.C:10: no method `KApplication::kde_datadir'
conftest.C:11: no method `KApplication::kde_localedir'

conftest.C:16: no method `KApplication::kde_wallpaperdir'
conftest.C:17: no method `KApplication::kde_bindir'
conftest.C:18: no method `KApplication::kde_partsdir'

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...

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

http://www.cs.washington.edu/researc...age/rules.html

hope this helps,
alar

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
