When kde4 was new, it was supposed to build with kde3 installed. For a few versions, this feature was initially broken on almost every kde4 release but usually fixed after a while. Recently, no one seemed to care anymore. Is that correct?
I think there are still some kde3 dependent ports with no kde4 equivalent. There are definitely some qt3 dependent ports that have not been ported to qt4, yet. I have tried to understand how to fix these cmake build, but I have not really gotten into it. Hence, the only question is what shall I report? - Is kde4 supposed to build with kde3 present? - Is kde4 supposed to build with qt3 present but no kde3? I got used to moving away all headers from qt-3.3.8_12 before portupgrading any kde4 port, but for the latest kde4 build that was not enough. For example, the problem I reported in http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-freebsd/2010-May/008330.html was libkgetcore.so.5.0.1 from net/kdenetwork4 linking against libqgpgme.so.0 from kdepim-3.5.10_7. Do you care for this kind of report or only if I got a fix ready? (I do understand that making kde4 build in clean environments is hard enough.) Anecdotal: During the last big portupgrade, I got so frustrated with multiple recent gnome related ports not building with security/openssl installed, kde3 not building due to security/openssl installed, kde4 not building due to kde3 installed, and so on. Earlier, I tried to investigate fixes or at least report these problems, but this time I have not even kept track due to the amount of fiddling involved -- and I have always been following UPDATING. I guess it is time to learn how to set up a ports tinderbox and stop worrying...
