[KPhotoAlbum] Building KPA 4.7.2 on OpenSuse 42.1 failing because of libkface

[Martin Jost]

Thanks Tobias !

Your quick 'n' dirty workaround did the trick. I now have a running KPA
again. (with also KIPI plugins missing - but I don't care for that for
the moment)

Surely I'm curious and tried the git content, but there I'm currently
lost in the '*-devel'-dependencies.
A whole bunch of cmake files is missing and while I found the packages
for the first bunch, I'm currently lost with another bunch.
I'll try to have a more detailed look later on - currently I'm happy
with having a running KPA to sort out my latest bunch of photos.

Thanks !

Martin

I tried to remove all packages containing 'kface' in name or
description. Still I had the problems. If someone wants a closer debug,
I'm open to things to check. (But for me the problem is solved with
above hack)

Hi :-)

I'm not the build system pro here, but as a quick 'n' dirty workaround, I
think you could simply remove the libkface search from CMakeLists.txt
(lines
80-91). This way, cmake does not search for libkface in the first place,
and
thus should not try to build the face stuff.

Well, if it's not there or not compatible, the build system should not
suppose
having found libkface anyway ... :-( And it really does happen without
libkface being installed at all?! Perhaps, Johannes can tell us something
about this.

Just to have said that: probably, you want to try out our latest git master
instead of version 4.7.2. We have ported KPA to Qt5/KF5 in the meantime,
and
very likely won't develop the KDE 4 version anymore (probably except for
bugfixes).

If you're building from source anyway, it's no problem: a

    git clone --depth 1 git://git.kde.org/kphotoalbum.git

will get you the latest sources.

I hope I could help a bit and that we can track this down and perhaps
fix it.

Cheers, Tobias
