Hi, Just a few informations about building KDE 4.10 with LFS-SVN-20130419.
On a virtual machine (qemu-kvm). Building all recommended deps. Everything went rather smoothly. I have not seen the error recently reported in kde-baseapps. So it might be a dependency problem, or a bug in GCC-4.7, corrected in GCC-4.8. OTH, I had to build QJSON (there is a tarball, version 0.8.1, at sourceforge), otherwise, kdepimlibs could not be built. This package should find its way to the book and be marked as required for kdepimlibs (there is a bug report already). The main problem has been that I got very distorted windows when I launched KDE (see http://www.fileswap.com/dl/Hj2gf07KJ/). I tried various things with no success, then noticed in Xorg.log that the server was expecting the cirrus driver. Actually, I had only built 3 xorg drivers: evdev, vesa and fbdev, the last one being useless since I had not built fb support in the kernel... X was therefore using VESA. So I downloaded and built the cirrus driver (simple CMMI, with ./configure $XORG_CONFIG), and the problem was gone. Conclusion : if you run qemu-kvm with the default VGA emulation, build the cirrus Xorg driver... I guess, you could also set the VM to use VMWare VGA and build the VMWare driver... Not tried (yet).
