Build KDE 3.2.2
I seem to be having a problem building KDE from source. The strange thing is that on another machine I don't have a problem. The machine that is having a problem is running kde-3.2.1-1 installed via pacman. The machine that can build is running the base kde-3.1.x that is in the Arch 0.6 CD.
The error I get running ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde-3.2.2 is:
checking for KDE... libraries /opt/kde/lib, headers /opt/kde/include
checking if UIC has KDE plugins available... no
configure: error: you need to install kdelibs first.
I have the kdelibs installed since I have a working system.
I am really bad with the autoconfig stuff so I was wondering if anybody else has had this problem.

Re: Build KDE 3.2.2
Need to clarify. The machine that I am able to build has KDE version 3.2.0x, and yes it didn't come from the 0.6 install CD. Not sure what I was thinking when I wrote that :shock:

Re: Build KDE 3.2.2
The error I get running ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde-3.2.2
./configure --prefix=/opt/kde-3.2.2is not the line, but
./configure --prefix=/opt/kdeis it
why dont you use ABS for rebuild?

Re: Build KDE 3.2.2
Normally, yes the install path would be /opt/kde, but I am trying to install the newer KDE next to a good working install. The reason is I am trying out some build flags.
The reason I am not using ABS is that I am not that familiar with it to do what I want to do.

Re: Build KDE 3.2.2

yes, but they are installed in /opt/kde
and not /opt/kde-3.2.2
you must first rebuild kdelibs with this new path as prefix, then install it in the system before building the other stuff

Re: Build KDE 3.2.2
I really hate it when I miss something stupid 
The order of the build/install does matter.
1) arts
2) kdelibs
