FWIW the information Raphael posted above was correct at the time he posted it - he'd file a bug against SCons and I hadn't yet had time to do the analysis required to bounce the issue back to him. > But as for what I can see his reply is more or less useless because he is in > some way confirming the existence of the bug but not doing anything at all > on the subject (might be possible I missunderstood something but I'll take > a deeper look at it this weekend as soon as I have some free time). > The kde.py file isn't part of kio-locate (which is written in C++, not > Python), it is part of the build system: scons. You've misunderstood something. The kio-locate source code ships kde.py which contains extensions to SCons for use in its build system. As I explained in the bug report the issue is that this code declares a circular dependency which SCons detects and reports, halting the build. That code has only ever worked through luck. -- "You grabbed my hand and we fell into it, like a daydream - or a fever." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
