Ixthusdan Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Has anyone successfully built kde 3.1.4 using konstruct? I have successfully built much of kde on my box, but it bailed out on kdeartwork. I can't figure out what is wrong. Has anybody else done this?

Ixthusdan Posted December 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 This is the end. It seems to make fine, downloads all the packages, but fails..well where you see. I allowed it to download all the depends, since it is installing in a directory in home. make[5]: *** [kbanner.kss] Error 1make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/dan/konstruct/kde/kdeartwork/work/kdeartwork-3.1.4/kscreensaver/kdesavers' make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/dan/konstruct/kde/kdeartwork/work/kdeartwork-3.1.4/kscreensaver' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/dan/konstruct/kde/kdeartwork/work/kdeartwork-3.1.4' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/dan/konstruct/kde/kdeartwork/work/kdeartwork-3.1.4' make[1]: *** [build-work/kdeartwork-3.1.4/Makefile] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/dan/konstruct/kde/kdeartwork' make: *** [dep-../../kde/kdeartwork] Error 2 I do not see any errors before this.

devries Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 (edited) I build KDE from CVS last week (hope this works for 3.1.4 too) and needed for KDE-artwork to compile to install a lib that's in mesa-devel. Mesa-devel you'll find in a RPM package called xfree86-static.devel (sorry can't remember the exact name). Good luck Edited December 19, 2003 by devries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted December 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Thanks, I'll check that out when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted December 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Here's a follow-up, if anyone is interested. The file that was needed to complete this process was on the 2nd cd, libxfree86-static-devel-4.3-23mdk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ixthusdan Posted December 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 OK, I'm trying to run this version of kde from my home directory, keeping my Mandrake kde seperate. But I can't get X to launch. I boot to the commandline. I switch to the new directory and try to launch with startkde. It tries to run, but can't find x. I made a link to /etc/X11, which did nothing, and then made a link to /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, which did nothing. How do I get /hoime/dan/kde3.1.4/bin to find the x server in order to launch? I remember doing this with /opt, but it was two years ago .....I guess I don't remember! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 Did you create a new user for 3.1.4? And did you build KDE logged in as that new user? (http://developer.kde.org/build/build2ver.html) The only thing you have to do is go to a console, log out the default user, log in as new user and do 'startx' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
