[gentoo-user] kdelibs fails to build

[Mick]

I am running the kde-4.4.4 upgrade on a x86 machine and this is how
kdelibs fails:

I do not have the same problem ... fonts look fine here.  Is your problem 
perhaps related to the fonts that you have installed?

I had a similar issue with the 8G (class 4) card I got for my phone. No matter 
what I did, it wouldn't work in the SD slot. Other cards did, but not that 
one.

Eventually I just stuck it in a multi-card expansion unit that plugs into USB 
and it worked just fine. I suspect issues with the card itself - possibly 
timing related and this confuses the controller. But I never proved this one 
way or another.

Maybe you can try a similar USB unit? They are dirt cheap.

My on-board SD controller for comparison:

Nope.  And Opera 10.11 doesn't have this problem.  Neither do the other 
browsers I have installed (Firefox and Konqueror.)

Sometimes I receive a personal email response to a message that I have posted 
to the list.  This seems to happen because the person that kindly responded 
has for some reason cc'd me in the reply.  If I try to reply to it the post 
will not go to the list, but the person that emailed me.  Pressing 'l' in 
kmail just brings up an empty to field.  This seems to happen only with some 
replies.  Will keep an eye out for it to see if it is consistent.

Opera is not using anti-aliasing. You can see it by comparing the content of 
the Opera window to the title bar (drawn by kwin).

I'm going to emerge latest opera here and see what I get. Then we can compare 
notes.

Maybe you should try holding the control-key and turning the
mousewheel...

or RTFM how to zoom in Opera...

Here it stopped working in the new Opera-10.6 and Konqueror, but still works 
in FF-3.6.4.  o_O

I fail to see how that comment is in any way useful. He's using the bitstream-
vera font or one of it's derivatives and here on my system it works fine. 
Zooming in and out to both extremes does not cause his problem to appear here, 
so it's unlikely to be a user fault.

Nikos, I just merged 10.60 and it works here. What are your local font-related 
settings?

Latest flash does not have a 64 bit version. On amd64 you MUST use 
nspluginwrapper.

Safest is to just remerge the thing and let it convert all your plugins - the 
command to do that is somewhat arcane and tedious but the ebuild does it all 
automatically.

Any ideas?
   


Do you have MAKEOPTS set to a high number in make.conf?  I ask because 
in my 'knowing very little mind' I think it is trying to make a link to 
a file that kdelibs is supposed to be making.  It may be trying to link 
to something that isn't there yet so it failed.  If you have that set to 
2 or higher, try setting it to 1 and see if that helps.


Hope that works.  At least it didn't fail at 99%.  lol

As it happens the issue was moot for me, but I am sure that some people
were caught out. I said 'No' to the 'emerge -auDvN @world' and
waited. Later I saw a new bugzilla entry
(https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326583) about unneeded opera
dependency on libpng. So I waited until after the fix was announced and
in the tree and resynced, and it no longer wanted to install
libpng-1.2.44.

   


That works too.  Should also be better in the long run.  Whew, glad that 
is over.  Nothing worse than having to go through a nasty upgrade just 
to have to do it again later.  ;-)

You have a way of running non-interpreted sources without compiling them

Nope.  And Opera 10.11 doesn't have this problem.  Neither do the
other browsers I have installed (Firefox and Konqueror.)

I fail to see how that comment is in any way useful. He's using the bitstream-
vera font or one of it's derivatives and here on my system it works fine.
Zooming in and out to both extremes does not cause his problem to appear here,
so it's unlikely to be a user fault.

Nikos, I just merged 10.60 and it works here. What are your local font-related
settings?


  false
  true
  true
  hintslight
  lcddefault
  rgb

freetype:

2.3.12(2)(07:37:47 PM 05/11/2010)(X -bindist -debug -doc -fontforge -utils)

Previous versions used to have the qt-static flag in them, the 10.60 does not.  
All I can say is that over here fonts look anti-aliased - so I am not sure 
what's causing your problem - could it be related to your desktop manager?

Two things happened here on my end:

My kmail filters didn't kick in (kmail does that to me sometimes) so the mail 
I replied to was in my inbox, not the gentoo-user folder where it should have 
been. The list folder is the one that knows it contains a list not the inbox.

I was also dealing with a bunch of work mail as the same time and with those I 
reply to all.

When I replied, I hit "A" without thinking and only saw it after I pressed 
Ctrl-Enter to send. So my bad, my screw-up.

Any ideas?
 

Do you have MAKEOPTS set to a high number in make.conf?  I ask because
in my 'knowing very little mind' I think it is trying to make a link to
a file that kdelibs is supposed to be making.  It may be trying to link
to something that isn't there yet so it failed.  If you have that set to
2 or higher, try setting it to 1 and see if that helps.

Hope that works.  At least it didn't fail at 99%.  lol

Dale
   

Thanks Dale, I tried with -j1 and it fails with the same libkio.so error.
 

I found a bug about it (324061) and I'm now trying again without ccache.
   


That would be the next thing to try.  Most packages can compile with 
higher than -j1 and with ccache but some can not do so well.  I hope it 
compiles when you disable that.

This explains it!  No worries, I was thinking that something went wrong 
somewhere along the chain but couldn't figure out if it was my Kmail that has 
been doing this lately.

You have autohint set to false. What does that do?

Same here apart from utils, I have that on. Doesn't seem relevant.

Doesn't seem to apply. It only mentions opera's own decorations in menus etc, 
not the actual content in the page. What does opera use as it's rendering 
engine?

Thanks, but unfortunately none of these settings seems to have any effect.



You have autohint set to false. What does that do?


If you have freetype with the "bindist" USE flag disabled (should be 
default I think), then you also get the bytecode interpreter in addition 
to the autohinter.  The bytecode interpreter is usually disabled because 
of patents.  It is enabled by forcing the autohinter off.


The bytecode interpreter reads the hinting information supplied by the 
fonts themselves rather than trying to construct its own hinting like 
the autohinter does.


http://www.freetype.org/patents.html



In case it matters, I'm on AMD64.  I also found this:

http://www.opera.com/support/kb/view/751/


Doesn't seem to apply. It only mentions opera's own decorations in menus etc,

No idea.

Anyway, no big deal since I mainly use Firefox anyway.

The computer gods allow me two cock-ups a day. I'm already way over limit and 
using up half of next week's quota in advance

That's what happens when you try to work, answer list mail and watch the World 
Cup in your back yard all at the same time!

I bravely jumped off the cliff, removed 'hal' from 'make.conf'
& recompiled Exo Thunar Xorg-server, the only pkgs which used it.
Thunar opens ok, but I needed to emerge the testing version of Xorg-server,
which has  6  deps +  4  drivers to update too.
Everything works even with the refs to mouse + keyboard in 'xorg.conf';
after removing all refs there (incl the  2  AD INIT), it still works ok.

Now for 'libpng' ...

This bug refers to clicking in the flash controls and not getting a response 
(as a workaround I click outside of the embedded video flash area first and 
then click onto it to move the video cursor, expand it full screen, etc.)  The 
fix they suggest does not work with the problem I am trying to solve with 
Opera-10.60 though.

I'm not Steve Jobs friend as such, but can't wait another minute for html 5 to 
do away with the stupid adobe flash creation.

While Flash has it technical faults, the main problem with flash is
it's user-base.  It seems to be used primarily in two situations:

  1) When you're trying to hide the fact that the site content
 completely sucks.

  2) When you're too incompetent to do a good interface design.

Perhaps if Flash weren't around, it's user-base would find some other
equivalent way to blight their audince, but Flash is just so _good_ at
it.

Holy crap!  They're playing world cup games in your back yard?  The
vuvuzelas must be driving you to distraction...
