Comment(by k...@…):
Status update on 4.1.3, since Robert seems to have disappeared (anyone
with anything *useful* to add, please do so. That does not include
exhorting us to wait for 4.2, as if by magic that will cure everything.
First, the use of
{{{
-DKDE_DEFAULT_HOME=.kde4
}}}
in kdelibs appears to work, so it should be feasible to install it
alongside kde3 (in a different prefix, and change $PATH etc to find the
right version of Qt).
Second, I build base*, graphics, multimedia. In my current build
(x86_64), konqueror crashes frequently and takes xorg with it (which sort
of sounds like a cairo or pixman type of problem - hopefully, that only
affects x86_64 and so should not concern us at the moment).
Okular works well, except that I now notice it occupies the whole screen
and I can't make it smaller.
Dragon works well after getting the audio sorted.
I no longer bother with gwenview (the image viewer), it wasn't useful to
me, but it workd when I last fed it with all of its dependencies.
Kmix works, but I have to start it twice each time I want to use it. The
same on x86_32. Weird.
I started trying to build more of the packages on x86_32, but I got lost
in kdebindings for python - after installing sip and PyQt it fails in the
sip/ bindings. I then went back and added akonadi and kdepimlibs, then
rebuilt sip and PyQt. After that, it failed a bit sooner (!) in the sip/
code.
Unless anyone understands how this pile of crap is supposed to fit
together, and can tell us how to get to grips with the horrors of using
cmake, I don't think any of us can get this into a usable state at the
moment.
