The package uses /usr/kde/3.3/include by default, have you got this directory?
I if I move my /usr/kde/3.3 directory to /usr/kde/3.3.old I then get the same error.
./configure --prefix=/usr/kde/3.4 lets the configure script run when I haven't got a /usr/kde/3.3 directory
Created attachment 71001 [details] New ebuild This ebuild uses KDE libraries from /usr/kde/3.4 instead of /usr/kde/3.3. This makes the software build on my test machine with a missing /usr/kde/3.3 directory.
Created attachment 71002 [details] New ebuild New ebuild, just added a few comments in, use /usr/kde/3.4 instead of /usr/kde/3.3 for libraries.
And yes, before anyone asks, I *do* have KDE installed, and I checked to make sure kdelibs was installed. In fact, I was even a good little boy and checked to see exactly why the problem was happening. It appears that the configure script needs to be patched so it looks for the KDE includes in the right place (in my case, /usr/kde/3.4/include), as none of the places the script looks in is right. I'm working on the patch right now, but it will probably be a kludge by the current standard around here. Stay tuned.

I have the distinct disadvantage of being extremely tired, though. ;-) The patch I posted actually edits the m4 files because I have learned that patching configure itself is usually bad ju-ju. Unfortunately, I can't get the autotools to engage on this one. It seems someone upstream has a broken autotools chain. Basically, you have to patch every instance of kde_default_bindirs, kde_sharedirs, kde_incdirs, and kde_libdirs so that it inserts "/usr/kde/3.3/$" and "/usr/kde/3.4/$" in the right places. I'm terrible with sed, and I *really* have to get on to school, so would you mind...? We might actually have to go with your idea on this one if the configure patch doesn't pan out, but what you have is a great stop-gap at the very least.
I'll certainly have a look at it, can't promise much though as I'm currently at work.
(In reply to comment #11) > I'll certainly have a look at it, can't promise much though as I'm currently at > work. Thanks a lot! ;-) If you're too busy, I'll look at it again when I get back home. It's not like it's an incredibly important or popular package anyway, right? Well, I'm off. Have fun!
Created attachment 71012 [details, diff] configure patch Only way I could get this to work was to patch the configure file directly. If I tried editing the m4 files and running autoconf to re-do configure I got loads of errors relating to AC_Dest not defined (I believe this has something to do with different version of autoconf being used). I managed to get round this error, but this then cause loads of other errors. As this is practically the first time I have looked at any thing to do with autoconf, I give up! :)

As this is practically > the first time I have looked at any thing to do with autoconf, I give up! :) Hello from school! You were getting the same errors I was then, and I think you are right about the cause. Just skimming over your patch, it looks about right - I'll try it out when I get back home and I'll post the results. At some point in all this there will have to be a wat to auto-discover the KDE version present on a machine, though, since the way it is now is a great way to cause breakage later. Not all packages are dependent on version-specific features of KDE, and what happens when the KDE version progresses beyond what we put in the configure script? We end up having to fix it all over again. It would probably be pretty easy to do, but I'm not sure how, other than doing what every other distro does - by polluting the environment with useless variables. But, hey, this is a rant for another time, isn't it? Ciao!
I manged to patch the m4 files and corrected the AC_Dest error, then after running -: autoheader aclocal autoconf automake When I ran the configure script it still came up with the original KDE libs missing error, even though grep'ing through configure showed the extra stuff I had entered in the m4 file. I really DON'T understand autoconf, going to have to read up on it I think!!!

Actually it's passing the headers test and failing on the libraries test???!?!?

Well at least I've had some good practice at autoconf!!! I take it the -: need-kde 3.2 and kde_src_compile are the bits that make it work?
(In reply to comment #20) > are the bits that make it work? More or less. Have a look at kde.eclass if you're interested how it works. Sound herd: Any reason the ebuild wasn't written inheriting kde.eclass? There are also a bunch antiquated header warnings. Development seems to have stalled in 2002.

In other news, I sent the maintainer a message asking if he had plans to further develop mp3kult. If you haven't used it before, it's rather nicer than a few other utilities I have tried. I would love to see more of it.
New ebuild committed in portage.
