Since libs is getting to the point where it's not going through wild

the new code for portability. Solid and Phonon aren't going to be compatible
just like that.
I'm the new maintainer of one of the kde-edu apps for kde4. I do all
my development on freebsd 6-STABLE machines. :) So... in order...
- Is there at Qt 4.2 port yet?
- Or qt-copy?
At the moment, the easiest and simplest way to build qt is simply to
grab kdesvn-build and use it to build qt-copy, kdelibs and kdepimlibs.
It hasn't failed for me in several weeks. (although I have
misconfigured it on occasion).
- Is the cmake port up-to-date enough to build KDE4?
Yes, it's exactly the minimum version needed. The upgrade to the
current version looks pretty trivial though, and may get done soonish.
You may have wierd linking issues in FreeBSD that may or may not exist
in Linux.
The version of dbus in ports is also sufficient, btw.
- Any obvious Linuxisms that need tracking down already?
I try to build kdebase at least once a week. There are two
outstanding issues that I haven't fixed on FreeBSD. One is a linking
issue with pthreads (workspace/kcontrol/xinerama/CMakeLists.txt - test
cases). The other is related to some tests for utmp.h in the
kdm/backend. (ossi promised he'd take a look at it soonish). Although
I have a patch which solves the problem for FreeBSD, I haven't
committed it because I'm unsure of it's implications on other systems.
