KDE 3.5.1 libkopete_videodevice_la.all_cpp.cpp doesn't compile
 

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to compile KDE 3.5.1 from source (there aren't any rpms for KDE 3.5.1 for Mandrakelinux 10.1 that I know of), and when the script gets to compiling kopete, it stops when trying to compile libkopete_videodevice_la.all_cpp.cpp, because type "v4l2_buffer" isn't completely declared. Here's the string of errors I got:

make[7]: *** [libkopete_videodevice_la.all_cpp.lo] Error 1

before I interrupted the sequence. I searched the files in the same directory as libkopete_videodevice_la.all_cpp.cpp for the structure, but didn't find it. How can I fix this? Please let me know if I need to provide any more information.

Thank you

Hello
I presume you used konstruct, but before compiling did you check for missing stuff with the detektive tool?

cd <konstruct dir>/misc/detektive
make

See if something's missing and install them if necessary
then re-check with the 'detektive.sh' script in <konstruct dir>/misc/detektive/detektive-0.1

If you've already done that, sorry for the uselessness of my post.
(on my SUSE Linux machine the kdenetwork package compiled without errors)
Greetings.

Edit: I confirm that the detektive tool works with Mandrake 10.1, it comes with a mandrake-101.lst file which gives the list of necessary things to have to compile KDE.

I seem to be missing a few packages. I'll download the appropriate rpms and try again.

Thank you
