[kdesrc-build] qca build failed

[Mathieu Tarral]

Hi !

I'm trying to build KDE from source using kdesrc-build script.
However, each time i have tried these last days, it failed on the QCA module.

I posted the error on a Github Gist:
https://gist.github.com/Wenzel/9bf982028616fdd3d42570e292fe0d62

The error is

error: invalid use of incomplete type 'DSA_SIG {aka struct DSA_SIG_st}'

Any ideas ?

Also this is reproductible on Ubuntu and Fedora.
Thanks.

This might have to do with incompatible changes in openssl. Try to 
switch between 1.0.2 and 1.1.0 version.


But I think you can skip QCA for now, because it is only needed for a 
few KDE applications such as Okular, Konversation, and KTorrent (and 
even there might be optional).


Neither KDE Frameworks, nor the Plasma workspaces require QCA.

Unfortunately i'm afraid Purpose, a recent addition to Frameworks,
does require QCA.
It only has a couple of users though so you can probably skip building
it if QCA is causing you issues.
