Hello all, I started rebuilding KDE4 on my box just yesterday. I have some thoughts, but first, my environment. I'm running 7.0-RELEASE-p2 on an Athlon 5200+ dual-core processor, 2GB ram, and a 320GB SATA-II drive.
I've been building the ports by checking out or upgrading area51 and then union-fs'ing it on top of my usual ports tree. I have kde3 installed. 1) I find it impossible to use portupgrade (my preferred ports tool) when doing things this way. I can't rebuild the INDEX file, and so making a proper INDEX.db file won't work. (There are a number of broken area51 ports that won't do make index properly.) 2) A list of the ports that KDE4 uses would be very useful. I've read the wiki page; I'm thinking of downloading the kde4.tar.bz2 file to create such a list. 3) kdebase-workspace requires qt-phonon, but it's not listed as a dependency. I'm believe that we're going to make qt-phonon and phonon conflict, yes? make: don't know how to make /usr/local/lib/qt4/libphonon.so. Stop *** Error code 2 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/kdebase4-workspace/work/kdebase-workspace-4.0.83/build. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/kdebase4-workspace/work/kdebase-workspace-4.0.83/build. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/kdebase4-workspace. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/kdebase4. 4) I'm disappointed that kdepim4 and kdepim3 conflict due to dependency issues. I can't afford to uninstall kdepim3 due to my reliance on kmail. That's about all for now. I'll have to wait and see when I get home if my current "basic" kde4 install will work well.
