kde4 & recompiling a package

gmartin · 01-25-2009, 02:08 PM

So I took the plunge and loaded the KDE4 beta environment from slackcurrent on my 12.2 box. (The changelog says it will work. And it does - quite nicely!). However, I lost a key feature in KTorrent 3.1.5 that is back in the latest 3.2 beta. I'm trying to build the beta from the kde source tree and I'm having a problem.

First I opened local.options in the ktorrent directory and changed the version to 3.2beta1. I also had to tweak the path in ktorrent.Slackbuild to find the src file in the right place.

So I ran KDE4.Slackbuild ktorrent to try buildin gone package and get this error:

Code:

-- Found Qt-Version 4.4.3 (using /usr/bin/qmake)

CMake Error at /usr/share/apps/cmake/modules/FindPlasma.cmake:13 (message):     
  FindPlasma.cmake is deprecated.  Now with KDE 4.2 Plasma is part of kdelibs   
  and automatically found using find_package(KDE4) instead.                     

  Replace the variables previously coming from FindPlasma.cmake as follows:

  PLASMA_OPENGL_FOUND -> KDE4_PLASMA_OPENGL_FOUND

  PLASMA_LIBS -> KDE4_PLASMA_LIBS

  PLASMA_INCLUDE_DIR -> KDE4_INCLUDE_DIR or KDE4_INCLUDES, should be already
  set anyway                                                                

  PLASMA_FOUND -> nothing, it's always there if KDE4, version 4.2 or newer
  has been found.                                                         

  If you see this error message in a module within KDE/, update it from svn,
  it has been fixed already.

I could run the entire KDE4.Slackbuild, but that seems pretty heavy for one package. Not sure what else to try.

Thoughts?

I thought I read that you have to have a separate KDE 3.xx build box to make packages.
Supposedly you can't build packages on a Slack KDE4 box yet. (I could be wrong tho)

That seems counterintuitive given that KTorrent 3.x is a KDE4 only package, but maybe you are on to something.

Spinlock · 01-25-2009, 08:55 PM

@slackass: That is completely and utterly untrue. Where do people get these ideas?

gmartin · 01-25-2009, 09:12 PM

@Spinlock: Any thoughts on the problem at hand?

@Spinlock:

Here's what I read.

Slackware-Current_06 Jan 2009 DVD

/testing/packages/kde4/README/Known Bugs:

The kde3-compat packages make it possible to run most kde3 applications,
but *not* to compile them. To compile for kde3, you'll need to have a
machine that's dedicated to running kde3.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding this.

Just so I'm clear, I want to compile a package for 4.x. KTorrent version numbers do not align with kde's. The 3.x versions is built for kde4. Confusing, isnn't it?

I was unable to compile ktorrent 3.1.6 on KDE4.2 (also fails on 4.1.96 and 4.1.85). Pat Volkerding managed to build it on KDE 4.1.3 though. Something changed in 4.2 which prevents ktorrent from compiling (the same goes for the new 3.2beta1).
Also see this thread on ktorrent's own forum: http://ktorrent.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2838

I posted to ktorrent.org forums and they're saying the CMakeLists.txt is in error. New file in svn, but I can't gain access as yet.

In the meantime, I reloaded the 2.x version of kotrrent and I'm good for now.

Alien Bob · 01-27-2009, 01:21 PM

http://ktorrent.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=15371#15371 - there is a working tarball now at least for ktorrent-3.1.6.x which I expect to be available as a common download soon.
