Subj : How to overcome compilation errors? To : comp.os.linux From : Occam Date : Tue Aug 24 2004 10:08 am I have had a new experience - when compiling kdemultimedia-3.3.0 I got compilation errors that "should not" occur. I am running Skackware 10 with kernel 2.6.7, and have compiled several programs that are not included in Slack 10 - no problems. However, when compiling the new KDE 3.3 the compile process has failed for the module kdemultimedia - but not in the KDE code, but in files included from the kernel (via /usr/include..) as shown below. I have * checked the included modules from the kernel: they look correct to the naked eye (and in one case identical (except for '64' being another number) to the proceeding function) * checked the KDE code (correct MD5 sum) * re-untarred the kdemultimedia archive and recompiled (same errors). What should and can I do next? * move to the 2.6.8.1 kernel? * find some other code (which??) that uses the same #include chain as kdemultimedia and see if it compiles ok? * give up on getting KDE3.3 with eg the gphoto software integrated, and be satisfied with the precompiled packages for Slack 10? * wait until KDE 3.3.1 and see if the compilation works there? * any ideas??? Since I have not done any complicated programming for a long time, I hesitate to try to write code that uses the long include chains, parts within kdemultimedia, myself - but as a last resort I may have to do it. ==================================================== .
