[gentoo-dev] Kde2.2 again (_rc6)

[gentoo-dev] Kde2.2 again (_rc6)

[Collins Richey]

I've seen several problems reported about kde2.2.  Here's another one.
 Any hopes at getting a kde2.2 ebuild that will actually work?

I tried to merge kdemultimedia.  All ot the prereqs (including qt,
kde-env, kdelibs) emerged ok, but the merge of kdebase is not
successful.  It dies in 

alsa_a.cpp: In function `int set_playback_info(void *, uint32 *,
uint32 *, const long int *)':
alsa_a.cpp:287: ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from `void *' in
argument passing
make[3]: *** [alsa_a.o] Error 1

Any clues?

I did an emerge rsync to be sure that I have the latest.

Same is here, but after leaving out alsa from the make.conf use variables, it 
compiled. But as a consequence I do not have sound in KDE (not even after 
merging kdemultimedia).

do ebuild fetch/unpack etc.
Then you can fix this by type casting handle__ on line 287 to (snd_pcm_t * )
e.g. line should read

 tmp = snd_pcm_plugin_info ((snd_pcm_t *)handle__, &playback_info);

It'll compile cleanly (at least on my system after that.

Interesting. I don't use alsa myself, so I can't test it. Is this a bug in 
KDE? If so, it's probably fixed in 2.2.1 released yesterday :-). What exactly 
occasions it, and should we put a fix in our ebuilds?

I would assume the problem is a tightening of the rules by later gcc
compilers; otherwise, there's no way the code could have compiled for
KDE developers. Since 2.2.1 is out, there's probably no need to patch
the 2.2 code.
