[gentoo-dev] KDE compile error, wrong dir in portage tree?

[gentoo-dev] KDE compile error, wrong dir in portage tree?

[Christian Hergl]

Greetings, developers.

I have a little fuzz with comiling the kde-2.1.1-r1 from the recent 
portage tree. The whole thing stops with:

...
libtool: link: Cannot find the library '/usr'lib/libGL.la'
make [3]: ***[kmorph3d.kss] Error 1
make [3]: Leaving directory 
'/tmp/portage/kdebase-2.1.1-r1/work/kdebase-2.1.1/kscreensaver'
...

I used the whole emerge thingy, the previous packages installes and 
compiled all fine, it seems. Never heard of the libGL.la, nor found 
anyting on the net about it. I do have a libGL.a though. Is that the 
same? Would a ln -s help in that matter (shot in the blue)?

Btw, did a recent update of my portage tree 2 days ago, it seems that 
somehow the /usr/portage/distfiles got changed into /usr/portage/files.
But the variable in the make.globals (i believe) is still set to 
distfiles. So I changed that manually back in my tree. Anyone noticed?

Btw, I'm one of the laptop installers (one of the few?). Running it on 
the Sony Vaio PCG-N505X, with USB floppy and PCMCIA CDROM. What a pain 
to install, coz the bootdisk does not recognize the floppy and I got 
trapped with no floppy available. The CDrom is not better, as at that 
time no CD Image of Gentoo was available. but it's up and running (after 
about 3 times of total corruption of the ReiserFS by Kernel 2.4.5, thank 
you. But got quicker with the whole gentoo installs by doing it several 
times ;)
I heard that using the PCMCIA you should use the yenta_socket, not the 
i85xxx driver, coz that one is supposed to be buggy. Any confirmations? 
Yenta works nicely for me there.
Uhm, with a recent dhcp I wasn't able to get up the inet with an ok, 
renaming inet.dhcp_eth0 into inet.eth0 solved that somehow. Dunno what 
goes wrong there.
Oh ja, I hope dhclient is now included in RC5 ;)
Puh, gcc3.0 was no go for me, as it even didn't compile the kenrel! 
Kernel guys know and AC sez, that it works with 2.4.6pre5 and later. Doh =)
Xfree4.1.0 compiled after changing the gcc variable to -mpentiumpro only 
(read: erasing the -march=pentiumpro thingy).
Still missing the alsa drivers, the linux extras didn't install with me, 
so I grabbed the sources from alsa-project.org and compiled well. Now 
going for the modules entries in that case =P

That's all I can rememer right off. Compiles take dreadfull long on that 
Celeron 333 laptop....

But it's a fun distribution,
bye,
Christian

this sounds like you have installed mesa-glu-3.5. this version does not
work with alot of 
packages atm and it's blocked.

we include dhcpcd by default

make sure you have "alsa" in your USE variable then you get the alsa
modules.
If that does not work please log the linux-extras compilation and post
it here.
