Hello all and particularly kde-sunset team members: I did a fresh installation of gentoo from scratch, AMD64, with all stable packages and no keywords. I setup the kde-sunset overlay as per http://www.linuxized.com/2009/11/how-to-keep-your-kde-3-5-after-its-removed-gentoos-tree-using-the-kde-sunset-overlay/ .
libpng is at 1.4.8-r1 (stable) During the emerge for kde-base/kdebase-startkde-3.5.10-r5 , the qt-meta-3.3.8b-r2 build failed with: kernel/qpngio.cpp:1153:48: error: png_process_data_pause was not declared in this scope make[1]: *** [.obj/release-shared-mt/qpngio.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/portage/x11-libs/qt-meta-3.3.8b-r2/work/qt-x11-free-3.3.8b/src' make: *** [sub-src] Error 2 emake failed It looks like this may be due to the application of the libpng 1.5 patch from bug# 384953 without first checking to to see what version of libpng is installed. I'm not sure what I ought to do at this point. if I try to use libpng ~amd64 , I get a block with gdk-pixbuf-2.24.0-r1 . I've also read that revdep-rebuild with the libpng update is still problematic and that some applications still do not work with with libpng 1.5 . Suggestions on the best path forward? Also, independently, it looks like there are no ebuilds for hal any more even though the kde-sunset packages look for the hal USE flag. I was never a big fan of hal, but automounting of media under KDE 3.5 is still nice to have, and as I understand it, without hal, that will no longer occur. Any recommendations on this issue as well? Thank you. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Same, same, but different...
