So if a user is attempting to build kdeplasma-addons from svn against a distro package of kdepimlibs, and they also didn't install the boost package ... they will encounter a problem. gotcha. seems that the distro kdepimlibs-devel package should have a requirement on boost-devel.. but I guess we can't enforce that. _______________________________________________ Kde-buildsystem mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-buildsystem
