libidn is not yet in portage. see an ebuild at bug 41001 kde needs version 0.2.x to work with (at compile time) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Actual Results:
i heard (not 100% sure) that libidn-0.3.x support will be in kde-3.2.1
Would be nice to have libidn in portage soon. IDN-Domains started today in germany (Denic), it would be a nice addition for the upcoming KDE 3.2.1 ebuilds. According to the kde-mailinglist, libidn-0.3.x will be supported in KDE 3.2.1 (which has been tagged yesterday).
will be in kde 3.2.1, in testing right now.
any news on this? i see kde 3.2.1 is out, but i cannot find anything libidn related well, anyway, thanks for your work on the kde releases caleb!
if you have libidn installed, it should work fine at runtime.
fine, shouldn't a dep be added to kde? i will mark this bug as fixed
I think this should be reopened until libidn is a dependency of kdelibs, at least for 3.3_beta, where libidn is used by kdelibs/kdecore and by kdenetwork/kopete (to enable the jabber plugin). In both DEPEND and RDEPEND (in 3.3 libidn is not opened at runtime but linked at compile time, with a configure check, if I got it correctly)
i was under the impression this is a runtime only dep..unless that has changed.
> i was under the impression this is a runtime only dep..unless that has changed. Yes, libidn was dlopened at runtime in the 3.2 branch, but in HEAD it is properly linked at compile time, if the configure check succeeds. $ ldd libkdecore.so.4.2.0 ... libidn.so.11 => /usr/lib/libidn.so.11 (0x402c0000) ...
