Has anyone gotten this to compile with gcc 4.x?
Doesn't look promising. I just tried it, and I get this bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133535
I just upgraded to gcc 4.1 and I also just installed kdelibs 3.5 (I am a gnome guy and want to give kde a look).
"now, release your anger..strike down your old DE and your journey to the dark side will be complete!"
The requirement page on the klibido site state gcc 3.x. Would I be able to emerge gcc 3.x and compile klibido with that? I compiled kdelibs 3.5 with gcc 4.1.
Theoretically...maybe. There is a bit of an open debate right now on how binary compatible 3.4.x and 4.x are. You can certainly merge 3.4.6-r1, and use gcc-config to select that as your compiler for building klibido. And I am reasonably sure it will _compile_. But it is maybe a bit dangerous, as you have kdelibs built with 4.1, so linked against that version of libstdc++.so. When you build klibido with 3.4.x, it will get linked with that version of libstdc++.so. Since the .so version is the same, the system should load one and only one copy of libstdc++.so (whichever one shows up first in ldconfig). And it should work...*in theory*. However there have been some issues posted with running such mixed-environment programs, so it seems not so simple. I would suggest to either use 3.4.x and rebuild all C++ programs with that (using revdep-rebuild --library=libstdc++.so.6), or wait for the above bug to get fixed. Rebuilding all C++ programs could include openoffice.org, mozilla, and other long-compiling packages...
I would love to find a clean binary news reader like GrabIt (http://www.shemes.com/). GrabIt is simple, fast and stable. Though it is closed source and only runs on WinXP which doesn't help me now :-(
I haven't tried it, but maybe it will work with wine? If you decide to try wine, make sure you merge the latest 0.9.x version, not a -2005XXXX version. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
