I started updating my version of KDE from 4.11.0 to 4.11.2 a few days ago in order to update the book.
I tried to take some shortcuts and it didn't work so well. On my system I have KDE_PREFIX=/opt/kde where /opt/kde->/opt/kde-4.11.0. What I tried to do was only update the packages that indicated a change. That is, I was updating the packages in /opt/kde-4.11.0 with packages built from 4.11.2. Everything built without complaint, but when I tested, I got a hang and indications of seg faults. OK, so lets not take the "short cuts". sudo mkdir /opt/kde-4.11.2 sudo ln -sfvn kde-4.11.2 /opt/kde Build everything in Chapter 28 that intalls in KDE_PREFIX. This is everything except Automoc4 and Phonon. I ran into a problem building attica because it found Qt5 in the PATH. OK, rename /opt/qt5 to /opt/qt5-save and proceed. From that point on, the build was fine and starting up KDE went without problem. I still don't like the phonon type interface and the menu system is somewhat cumbersome, but everything worked. I'll be updating the book (Chapter 28) later tonight and I should have all the apps in Chapter 29 done tomorrow. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
