KDE Compilation Problem

[macdude425]

I just downloaded the source for KDE 3.5, and it has been smooth sailing until now. Whenever it's compiling the qt-x11-free-3.3.5 package, it always crashes with this error:

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:38: Error: symbol `dev' is already defined

Before it crashes, I also get bombarded with warnings, most of them like this:

../../../../src/kernel/qjpegio.cpp:486: error: `jpeg_set_defaults' undeclared
   (first use this function)
../../../../src/kernel/qjpegio.cpp:507: error: `jpeg_set_quality' undeclared
   (first use this function)

What can I do to fix this? TIA.

what did you use to compile it, which gcc version, and are you using konstruct to build it?

I got it to compile cept for kdevelop, havent been able to fix it or figure what the problem is either, and it was assembler related too.......makes me wonder if its the nasm package? might be, but im not sure why unless KDE has some assembler language parts in it

best bet honestly is probably trying to find a KDE forum or sending an email to someone at kde.org........send the compile log file(it should have one) and gcc version and any other pertinent package versions and see if they can help

these compiler issues can be difficult.........I dont have the skills to do anything but guess most of the time

Yes, I used Konstruct. Not sure of the gcc version, as I'm not at my computer right now.

EDIT: gcc-3.3 is the version.

 

[macdude425]

I fixed it. I went over the logs with a fine tooth comb, and found that libjpeg wasn't there, so I installed it, and now it's going again.

Thanks horndude.

Is there much of a difference between 3.5 and 3.4?

 

[macdude425]

I haven't finished compiling, but it looks like it. XP style media detection, a Konfabulator clone, various upgrades to programs, and some other stuff.

Here's the KDE 3.5 Guide:

EDIT: Finally, the server is back up...

 

[GameGURU]

Yeah, I was trying to download it earlier but I couldn't get to the site...

:bump:

More problems are popping up, namely this one.

...and then it stops.

Is there some way I can tell it to download from somewhere else?

 

[horndude]

download musicbrainz from somewhere else and then put it in the directory konstruct uses for source files........dont remember where that is exactly but I had to do that with libid3tag cause all the websites konstruct tried didnt have it

once you have a good copy in the right place konstruct will pick back up right where it left off w/o a problem
