I finally finished my KDE4 build. After I finished Xorg, it took about 185 packages to complete including most optional dependencies. There are a couple of extras that number, but not many.
When I started KDE, I couldn't get any keyboard input and the mouse was not working right. With a little research I found that cmake did not find libXi properly in kde-workspace. That's because libXi is in /opt. Adding LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/xorg/lib fixed it up so far. At least cmake didn't complain. The kde-workspace takes a long time and it's still building. I'll test when it's done. I also noted that a couple of the kde modules look for PyQt and PyKDE and they are not currently mentioned. I'm sure there will be several more issues. At least I can get konsole to run in twm. However it gives a message " QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave." That's a pretty ugly message. It looks like there's a patch: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/103699/diff/2/ but if kde-4.8.4 is due out next month, it is probably fixed there. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
