[gentoo-user] kdeprefix is broken?

[gentoo-user] kdeprefix is broken?

[Norberto Bensa]

Hello list,

I emerged KDE-4.2 (RC first, final now) and Phonon wasn't getting any
backend. No video, no sound.

After recompiling KDE-4.2 with -kdeprefix, I see both Xine and
Gstreamer listed as backends.

So the question is: is kdeprefix a deprecated/not
recommended/broken/unsupported feature?

I never needed more than one KDE version at the same time, but I like
to have it separate from the rest of the system.


Thanks,
Norberto

I have 4.2+kdeprefix and systemsettings show me the xine settings.

Ok. Thanks. Maybe there's something broken deeper in my box.

almost the same as on my box (except I have kdeprefix set and gstreamer 
disabled),

yup.. strange. Don't worry. I'll keep searching.

"Good luck" or something like that.

Hmm.  I also don't have a list of back-ends.  But sound works.  I 
noticed that media-sound/phonon-4.3.0 installs files in /usr/lib/kde4/ 
instead of /usr/kde/4.2/lib64/kde4/ (which would be the correct location 
with kdeprefix I guess.)

Try linking /usr/kde/4.2/lib64/kde4/ to /usr/lib/kde4/ and see if that 
works?

   cd /usr/lib
   mv kde4 kde4-backup
   ln -s /usr/kde/4.2/lib64/kde4 kde4

Then re-emerge media-sound/phonon and restart X.  I have this setup and 
sound is working, but as I said, no back-ends are listed.  I'm on OSS4 
though, not ALSA, maybe this has something to do with it.

Yes... I'm sorry. Sound actually works. Video doesn't. No backends listed.

I reemerged with -kdeprefix, I think I will leave this as it is for now.


Thanks Nikos!
