Bug 273898 – x11-themes/qtcurve-qt4-0.64.1[-kde] fails to build: Could not find KDE4 kde4-config

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Martin von Gagern 2009-06-12 17:53:54 UTC]

It seems that x11-themes/qtcurve-qt4 doesn't build without kde4:

-- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindKDE4.cmake:44 (MESSAGE):
  ERROR: Could not find KDE4 kde4-config
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:71 (find_package)

If this is a dependency which can be avoided, fix the package to avoid it. Otherwise a hard dependency on the package providing the kde4-config binary should be added to the ebuild. The following change to CMakeLists.txt since 0.62.9 seems to indicate the latter:

 # search packages used by KDE
-find_package(KDE4)
+find_package(KDE4 REQUIRED)
 find_package(Qt4 REQUIRED)

Indeed. The dependency on kde4 became mandatory. I already tried to revert this but I failed badly (lots of undefined references etc.).
Anyone wanna try to convince upstream to keep kde4-dep optional?

I requested upstream to do so and he said that in the next release kde4 will be optional again, and there will be the option to compile with just Qt4.

I just committed 0.64.2 in which this issue is fixed.

Thank you very much Ben :)
