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).
