[Digikam-devel] Can't compile 0.8beta2

[Andy Choens]

I have tried everything I know of to compile beta2, and I can't.  I'm
sure it's something really obvious, but it's kicking my butt.

I'm running SUSE 10 on an amd64.  If I can get it to compile, I'll put
together a package and contribute it for distribution.  That would be
really neat.

On my system, KDE is in /opt/kde3 and I obviously have 32bit and 64bit
libraries installed.

I followed the direction in the README and did this.

export WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1
export KDEDIR=/opt/kde3
make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure
make


and that's as far as I got.  It compiles along for a couple of minutes
just fine, and then I get this output:

/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.0.2/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld:

I think I've included all of the important stuff.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to try them out, and I'll certainly
contribute a package for amd64 and I'll see if I can figure out how to
compile for 32bit SUSE too.

Thanks
