I don't know if this is the appropiate place to discuss objprelink problems with KDE, but if someone can help me I apreciate it a lot. I tried to build KDE 2.2.2 from the Debian sources generating binary packages compiled with objprelink and optimizations for 686. I get objprelink form: http://leon.bottou.com/objprelink/
I compiled Qt with the patch from this page with the Debian sources generating a binary debian package. After compiling and installing the Qt and kdelibs binaries that I generated I have no problems, but I don't notice anything especial. Later I compiled kdebase always from the Debian sources with objprelink. After installing these packages kdm crashes when it want to display the background image, but fortunatelly I can login. KDE seems to load more faster than ever but crashed when it want to launch kicker and absolutelly nothing appears. >From IceWM I started konqueror from an xterm and it loads amazing fast and their performance are very great but always crashed when I want to see the sidebar or want to display everything. On the contrary konsole is the only application that works and also loads fast. I'm running woody with KDE 2.2.2 and their dependences from unstable with binutils 2.11.92.0.12.3-2. >From the Linux From Scratch project also I read this: "You'll need the latest version of binutils (2.11.2 at this point), and if any of glibc, gcc or binutils were compiled with optimizations there is a chance that everything you prelink will segfault when run. Prelinking failed for me on my LFS 2.4.3 system where those were built with optimizations; on a LFS 3.0 system where glibc, gcc and binutils were compiled with no optimizations and everything else was built -O3 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686, prelinking worked fine. Proceed with caution." Also I don't have any problems compiling KDE with objprelink. Are there anyone that enjoy with objprelink on Debian? Any help will be sincerelly appreciated, I felt the speed of objprelink on my P II 350, but I can't applied.
