I have been trying to compile kdebindings-3.5.5 since the last two days. It configures fine and when I run make I can see the normal messages as "make" progresses. At one point it looks like it is stuck but, doing a process listing shows something else.
It is trying to compile the file /kdebindings-3.5.5/python/pyqt/qt/sipqtpart0.cpp. A "wc -l" on this file returned 454706 !! Size ? 9.6MB !! It seems to be generated on the fly as the folder 'qt' itself doesn't exist in the source tree. Seems like it is trying to process it thru' "cc1plus" and feeding it to "as". The problem I face is that, it is stick at that point. Hard disk shows continuous activity and the system hardly responds ! Just to lessen the compile time, I killed all the daemons, virus scanners and all the unneeded processes. It ran for 17.5 hours and it hasn't got past the aforementioned file. I don't know if this is normal. Having waited so long, I terminated "make" thinking something might be wrong the downloaded source. So, I re-downloaded and ran "make". Same thing !! Has anyone else faced this prob ? Or, am I the only one ??!! As per the BLFS-Book kdebindings should take about 75 SBU. Compared to this OpenOffice takes 129 SBU. I have compiled OpenOffice several times and not even once did it take more than 10 hours ! Why would kdebindings take so long and never complete ? I would appreciate any pointer in this regard.
