Well, subject says it all. But xoo also says workaround: 

With KDEDIR=/usr/kde/3.4 emerge ...

it compiles.

Found the problem :
in /etc/env.d/99kde-env
the variable is KDEDIRS instead of KDEDIR (without 'S') and for me was baddly set to '/usr' instead of '/usr/kde/3.4'

So not our problem, closing ;)

[Comment 3 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2005-01-28 05:50:15 UTC]

Guillaume: Change it back. KDEDIRS=/usr is correct.

[Comment 4 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) 2005-01-28 09:22:54 UTC]

@kde-herd: Have there been some path changes to KDE in 3.4 which could result in that?

[Comment 5 Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) 2005-01-28 10:50:08 UTC]

Yes, the idea is that ebuilds should not rely on KDEDIR being in the 
enviroment (see bug 33079)

the corrct way to fix is to do "inherit kde-functions", and then do something 
like:
    if use kde; then
        set-kdedir 3
        export MYCONF="${MYCONF} --enable-kde"
        ...

to set KDEDIR to the correct value.

Alternatively, set KDEDIR by doing:

    if use kde; then
        KDEDIR=$(kde-config --prefix)
        export MYCONF="${MYCONF} --enable-kde"
        ...

[Comment 6 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) 2005-01-28 11:33:38 UTC]

@Greg: Thanks, going to do that.

@Guillaume: Could you please try that, add kde-functions to the inherit line at the beginning of the ebuild and add the set-kdedir 3 line before the line where --enable-kde is set?

Can't test it myself as I don't have kde 3.4 installed here.

[Comment 7 Max Powers 2005-01-28 22:24:08 UTC]

The fix suggested by Gregorio Guidi doesnt work. The first one doesnt seem to be a valid call. The ebuild rejects that line completely. The alternate proposed change does no effect on compilation, still get the error.

Added the line "kde-functions" to inherit and tried both of the fixes, non worked for reasons above.

[Comment 8 Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) 2005-01-29 03:50:49 UTC]

> The alternate proposed change does no effect on compilation

It should have been "export KDEDIR=$(kde-config --prefix)", sorry.

But please check again the first one, it should work (the function is there,
in /usr/portage/kde-functions.eclass)

[Comment 9 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) 2005-01-29 04:07:38 UTC]

set-kdedir has to be called in src_compile, this is where I put it now. Checked myself now and it works that way, fix commited to cvs. So, closing.

Thanks for reporting and helping

[Comment 10 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2005-01-29 16:31:24 UTC]

Andreas: The explanation is still missing. KDEDIR is deprecated for a while now and the ximian guys shouldn't use it in the first place.

[Comment 11 Andreas Proschofsky (RETIRED) 2005-01-29 16:46:48 UTC]

It's actually Jan Holesovsky from SUSE/KDE-fame who is responsible for this, so he should know what he is doing ;) Will let him know.
