KDE 4.3 ./configure error

Soulstealer · 03-24-2005, 03:11 PM

Hello

I've installed Slackware 10.1 without KDE, so I got KDE 3.4 source packages and Qt 3.3.4
I installed qt, but when I tried to install kdebase I got an error

Code:

bash-3.00# ./configure
...
...
...
checking for kde-config... not found
configure: error: The important program kde-config was not found!
Please check whether you installed KDE correctly.

kde-config must be in /opt/kde/bin/, but it isn't
Can anyone help me?

thanks

Please excuse my mistake in the "subject"
it's KDE 3.4, not KDE 4.3

I fix it

You have to compile the first 3 kde packages in the right order.
Compile and install arts first, then kdelibs, then kdebase.

OK, thanks

can you tell me about Qt
I configured it like this
./configure -qt-gif -thread
but after that I saw in one document that it must have a few more options...
is that a problem ?
should I recompile it ?

i think those options you used for Qt are adequate
unless you have already installed nVidia video drivers

to make it run a little better you might try
-qt-gif -system-libpng \
-system-libmng -system-zlib -system-libjpeg -no-exceptions \
-thread -plugin-imgfmt-png

if you have installed nVidia you need to add
-dlopen-opengl
or you will end up with a mess

and you can most likely add
-no-ipv6

OK, I had another problem

Let me describe what I do...
first: I have the qt 3.3.4 source in /usr/local/qt and I do:

Code:

./configure  -qt-gif -system-libpng \
-system-libmng -system-zlib -system-libjpeg -no-exceptions \
-thread -plugin-imgfmt-png -dlopen-opengl -no-ipv6

make

===============================================
second:

Code:

./configure --prefix=/opt/kde --disable-debug
make
make install

in the source directory of arts 3.4

===============================================

third:

Code:

./configure --prefix=/opt/kde --enable-fast-malloc=full --with-alsa --disable-debug
make
make install

in the source directory of kdelibs 3.4

================================================

then I add "/usr/local/qt/lib" in "/etc/ld.so.conf" so it looks like:

Code:

/usr/local/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/i486-slackware-linux/lib
/opt/kde/lib
/usr/local/qt/lib

and I do

Code:

/sbin/ldconfig

till now everything seems fine, BUT when I went to the kdebase 3.4 source directory and ran:

Code:

./configure --prefix=/opt/kde --disable-debug

I got this message:

Code:

...
...
...
checking  for KDE... libraries /opt/kde/lib, headers /opt/kde/include
checking if UIC has KDE plugins available... no
configure: error: you need to install kdelibs first.

Can anyone help me, please!

thank you

OK, I fixed this, it was my mistake, sorry

But here I have another problem (of course)
again the configure script for kdebase
now I got this:

Code:

...
...
...
checking for xmkmf... not found
configure: error: xmkmf/imake not found. Please make sure it's in PATH!

What is going on ?! I have both xmkmf and imake in my /usr/X11R6/bin directory and they are executable.
What's wrong ? I'm getting nervouse.
please help me...

thanks

Soulstealer · 03-25-2005, 08:25 AM

Well...I just made sym links in /usr/sbin to /usr/X11R6/bin/xmkmf and /usr/X11R6/bin/imake
and the configure script passed...
now it is compiling
I hope that there souldn't be more problems!
It's strange...Am I only posting in this topic or what ?
thank you anyway

I'll be back if I have more problems...(to post to myself)
