KDE 4.5.2

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Version 4.5.2 is out but the versions of Qt available in MacPorts cannot support it. Until they are tweaked/upgraded, KDE will sit at 4.4.5.

[macports@…]

The KDE 4.5.0 release announcement recommends use of QT 4.6.3. We appear to havfe that version of QT as I currently have it installed. What are we waiting on for KDE 4.5.x?

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

I believe KDE 4.5.0 requires Phonon 4.3.90 or newer -- basically 4.4 betas. Right now, Qt 4.6.3 provides Phonon 4.3.30; Qt 4.7.0b1 provides 4.3.90, but the latest Qt 4.7.0b2 provides only Phonon 4.3.60. We're working on moving away from using the integrated Phonon from Qt and instead using the separate port Phonon (which is at 4.4.2).

It looks like qt-4.7.0 bundles phonon-4.4.0. i haven't tried to compile it on OS X yet; i'll try that when i get back from work.

I was able to get qt-4.7.0 to compile/install through ports (using my slightly modified Portfile). It appears that almost all the patches from the qt-4.6.x series were applied upstream.

Now i'm trying to get kdelibs4 to compile. All the patches applied (after i edited the patches to reflect changes from kde-4.4.x). It doesn't yet configure as it fails to find docbook. I'll work on this more later.

For those that are interested, i uploaded the port files and patches for qt-4.7.0 and kde{libs,base,base-runtime}-4.5.2. Perhaps someone can upload these to the macports repo so we can bump KDE up to 4.5.2. I have no checked all the applications, i know that dolphin runs (see screenshot). There may be more testing needed, but this is a good start. Cheers.

I just received a set of patches from qt4's maintainer; I'll try them out and if that's working we'll be moving forward. Thanks for the patches here, too.

[bkn@…]

good to hear, i'm sure those patches are better than mine anyways. I just wanted to get something started so kde4.5 will be compiling under os x sometime soon.

qt4-mac has been updated to 4.7.0 as of r72571. Sorry it took so long! Better late than later ... For those who don't know, there's also a new KDE 1.1 portgroup that should simplify the update to the KDE 4.5.X series -- allowing "us" to do the upgrade in individual ports instead of the masses I had to change to qt4-mac.

Here is what I get while trying to get my kmymoney4 port to configure:

  Adjust CMAKE_MODULE_PATH to find FindQGpgme.cmake or set QGpgme_DIR to the
  directory containing a CMake configuration file for QGpgme.  The file will

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

As you see it fails to find some qgpgme although port gpgme is installed... Wondering what can be done to make this work.

Next issue is that it complains to miss kdepimlibs4, which I am just now building from port group 1.1.

But I doubt that I really needs the latter port for kmymoney4, since kmymoney also didn't need kdepim3 eventually.

Replying to mk@…:

I'd suggest opening a ticket for kmymoney: I meant for this ticket to be an indicator that the KDE4.5 packages weren't updated on purpose.

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Well, I hoped to get an idea from the discussion here how to solve it.

It doesn't make sense to file a ticket for kmymoney so far, since that port works solely with kdelibs3 and I am JUST ABOUT TO SET UP a kdelibs4 version (kmymoney4) locally, which is why I hooked myself into this ticket.

So, probably the best idea for cases like this is to not lead a discussion like this in a ticket, but rather post it to the mailing list, right?!?

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

Guess so :-) I have attached a cursory patch ready for everything but kdeutils4, kdeedu4, and kdepim4.

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

everything but utils, edu, pim.

[nerdling (Jeremy Lavergne)]

I'm having issues with marble in kdeedu4, which directly impacts gps packages. I'm going to disable them for this release.

r72769. Thank you, and good night :-P

Please open new tickets for the ports that need it. If there's a common issue on any of the ports, please put all the applicable ports into one ticket.
