Bug 38850 – kdelibs-3.1.5 build crashes due to required dependancy libpng

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Chris White (RETIRED) 2004-01-20 14:59:01 UTC]

While compiling kdelibs I noticed an error as shown in the Actual Results.  Investigating this further, I found that libpng was a valid handler and it wasn't listed in the kdelibs-3.1.5 ebuild as a required dependancy.  The proposed solution would be to add that in as a dependancy to the kde ebuild.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. remove libpng if it exists
2. emerge kdelibs
3.

Actual Results:  
QImageIO::write claims that there is no handler for PNG

Expected Results:  
Compiled kdelibs without errors

It's a build and runtime dep of Qt - did you uninstall it intentionally?
