I am in the process of installing KDE 4.4.0 on a brand new AMD64 FreeBSD 8-STABLE box and have run into a couple of issues. I spent some time investigating and this is what I found:
(1) graphics/kdegraphics4 requires textproc/soprano to be installed with the Redland backend. I tried using no backends for Soprano or only the Virtuoso backend. In both cases, graphics/kdegraphics4 refused to even configure. => textproc/soprano should have the Redland backend as a hard dependency (2) textproc/redland allows you to choose alternate database backends (MySQL, PgSQL, SQLite, Virtuoso) via the port's options. If one (or more) alternate backends are selected, textproc/redland builds fine. But then, textproc/soprano fails to pick it up. During the configuration stage of textproc/soprano, the following message is printed and the Redland backend is disabled: "Redland with broken NEEDED section detected, disabling" either => textproc/soprano should be fixed to work with textproc/redland having backends other than BDB or => the alternative database backends for textproc/redland should be removed from the port's options (3) x11/kdelibs4 is responsible for providing the Nepomuk library. According to [1], Nepomuk will only build if Soprano is installed with Raptor as its backend. The port currently does not check this and always has Nepomuk-related files in its pkg-plist, even if the dependencies were not met and Nepomuk did not compile. either => x11/kdelibs4 should check whether Soprano is built with Raptor support and conditionally include Nepomuk-related files in the pkg-plist or => the solution to (1) above should be applied, implicitly fixing this (4) While I have not gotten this far yet myself, according to [2], Nepomuk and Redland are hard dependencies for kdepim (I am not sure which one of the kdepim-related ports are affected) => the solution to (1) above should be applied, fixing (3) with it (5) This does not affect any of the above but during my experimentation I found that databases/libiodbc (the Virtuoso backend for Soprano) has a run-time dependency on databases/virtuoso. However, instead of setting RUN_DEPENDS like other ports, it informs you of that dependency via its pkg_message. => databases/libiodbc should have RUN_DEPENDS on databases/virtuoso Now that I finally have a textproc/soprano with textproc/redland backend, I am rebuilding x11/kdelibs4 to see whether Nepomuk gets build properly, allowing graphics/kdegraphics4 and kdepim to be built. If not, I will investigate further tomorrow. - Bartosz [1] http://osdir.com/ml/general/2009-11/msg16531.html [2] http://osdir.com/ml/general/2009-11/msg16200.html _______________________________________________ kde-freebsd mailing list kde-freebsd@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd See also http://freebsd.kde.org/ for latest information
