Many errors when 'make'ing (example: error: syntax error before `::' token)

Hey guys, i am having a heck of a time compiling, i am a newb to linux, and if this belongs in the newbie forum please forgive me, i wasn't sure where exactly to put this. I am trying to install Kpager2 for Kicker in KDE 3.3 (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=7120). After downloading countless libraries and dev files i finally got through the ./configure process. I then moved on to 'make'. The following are the errors produced at the end of the make process. I am not sure if I need to post the entire make process, i assume i don't.

Code:

/usr/share/qt3/bin/moc ./kpagermainwin.h -o kpagermainwin.moc.cpp
if /bin/sh ../libtool --silent --mode=compile --tag=CXX g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/include/kde -I/usr/share/qt3/include -I/usr/X11R6/include   -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT  -D_REENTRANT  -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -Wchar-subscripts -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -O2 -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common  -MT kpagermainwin.moc.lo -MD -MP -MF ".deps/kpagermainwin.moc.Tpo" \
  -c -o kpagermainwin.moc.lo `test -f 'kpagermainwin.moc.cpp' || echo './'`kpagermainwin.moc.cpp; \
then mv -f ".deps/kpagermainwin.moc.Tpo" ".deps/kpagermainwin.moc.Plo"; \
else rm -f ".deps/kpagermainwin.moc.Tpo"; exit 1; \
fi

ANY help would be greatly appreciated, I hope the answer isn't staring me in the face, I would feel dumb if that were the case.
Thanks guys

i see this on kde-apps.org

Quote:

If there are any problems during compilation in kpagermainwin.moc.cpp, insert at the very beginning of this file:
o #include "version.h"
o #ifndef KPAGER_IS_APPLET
and at the very end:
o #endif
(It seems the moc compiler has problems in understanding #ifdefs).

(they don't mean to include the "o"s in the file)

darkblade · 09-23-2004, 03:27 PM

hey, yeah, i added those to the file, and i still get the exact same errors

You will notice that there is a 2nd file named kpagermainwin.moc.cpp in the src folder. It is this file that must be appended.
I had the same issue ;-)

hey storyteller, thanks for the reply, although i'm a complete newb to linux and i'm not sure what you mean by appended

could you explain please?

If there are any problems during compilation in kpagermainwin.moc.cpp, insert at the very beginning of this file:
o #include "version.h"
o #ifndef KPAGER_IS_APPLET
and at the very end:
o #endif

I believe you are attempting to do this to the wrong file. You will find 2 files named kpagermainwin.moc.cpp: One in the top kpager2 folder and one in the src subfolder. It is the one in the subfolder that must be edited as above
