I was installing KDE3_rc3, using the howto at http://www.gentoo.org/~danarmak/kde3-pre.html yesterday. But the 'emerge' proces failed at the emerge of kdemultimedia-3.0_rc3. It gave this error: motif_p.c: In function `motif_pipe_error': motif_p.c:58: `errno' undeclared (first use in this function) motif_p.c:58: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once motif_p.c:58: for each function it appears in.) make[3]: *** [motif_p.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdemultimedia- 3.0_rc3/work/kdemultimedia-3.0rc3/kmidi/TIMIDITY' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdemultimedia- 3.0_rc3/work/kdemultimedia-3.0rc3/kmidi' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/kdemultimedia- 3.0_rc3/work/kdemultimedia-3.0rc3' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully. !!! Function kde_src_compile, Line -38, Exitcode 2 !!! died running emake, kde_src_compile:make But when i manullay, unpack, configure, make and make install, it does works. So I think there's an error in your ebuild scripts.
First of all, I advice you to use the cvs ebuilds, not the RC3 ones, because many bugs have been fixed in the KDE cvs since RC3. Now, this is a known error and we have a patch for it. The first order of business is to check that the patch was applied successfully. Please capture and paste here the first lines of the kdemultimedia emere output; the patching is done near the unpacking.
I used the CVS build (as described in the howto on your homepage)...But I'll try it again in an hour...
i do not know whether this error is related to this bug, but when i try to emerge arts-1.0.0.ebuild there is a similar error msg: hal arts # emerge arts Calculating dependencies. done! >>> emerge kde-base/arts-1.0.0 to / alsa alsa >>> Unpacking source... ERROR: Offline mode, but module not found. Aborting. !!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully. !!! Function cvsup_src_unpack, Line -38, Exitcode 1 !!! died running cvsup_fetch !!! emerge aborting on /usr/portage/kde-base/arts/arts-1.0.0.ebuild . strange, isn't it?
Well, it certainly isn't related. Normally the error means you haven't checked out the module, but also haven't set KCVSUP_SERVER so that the ebuild can check it out itself. If this isn't the case, please say so.
i have the following settings in /etc/make.conf: KSOURCE_TOP_DIR=/usr/src/kde KCVS_SERVER=anoncvs.kde.org:/home/kde KCVSUP_SERVER=cvsup.kde.org and actually i did everything according to your guide (created directories, emerged qt-3.0.3.1 first etc.
The sad truth is that I don't use the cvsup fetching myself and so it isn't nearly as well tested/typo-proof as the cvs one. And since the KDE 3.0-final release is in a week's time or less, this isn't a top priority for me at the moment. I will check it sometime, as part of a general cvsup checkup/fixup. Right now I recommend you use cvs (remove the KCVSUP_SERVER setting). There's very little difference user-wise (assuming it works).
thanks, cvs fetching seems to work fine (although not very reliable, i had to retry several times due to check out errors). however, there is now a compile error with arts-1.0.0. it's the one you already mentioned on gentoo-user with libltdl. i do not know any solution, sorry. for debugging purposes: hal root # autoconf --version Autoconf version 2.13 [cut] configure: configuring in libltdl configure: running /bin/sh admin/configure --prefix=/usr/kde/3 --enable-alsa --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --with-x --enable-mitshm --with-xinerama --with-qt-dir=/usr/qt/3 --enable-mt --disable-debug --without-debug 'CFLAGS=-mcpu=i686 -march=i686 -O3 -pipe' 'CXXFLAGS=-mcpu=i686 -march=i686 -O3 -pipe' host_alias=i686-pc-linux-gnu --enable-ltdl-convenience --with-auxdir=/var/tmp/portage/arts-1.0.0/work/arts-1.0.0/admin --cache-file=/dev/null --srcdir=. admin/configure: admin/configure: No such file or directory configure: error: /bin/sh admin/configure failed for libltdl !!!

As I wrote on gentoo-user, the new autoconf and automake packages are the cause of the failure. That's curently being investigated, for now if you want kde cvs to compile, unmask and emerge the older sys-devel/autoconf-2.1x and sys-devel/automake-1.4x. AFAIK no other pakage has problems with the new ones, and kde release versions (e.g. 3.0-final) don't need autoconf anyway, so it's your choice.
Curios that this is still open. Well, I'm closing it now. Both the kdemultimedia compile problem and the automake/autoconf version problem were fixed long ago.
