[Kde-extra-gear] Porting Digikam core to KDE CVS...

[Klas Kalaß]

Hi Gilles,

I just tried to compile kdeextragear-libs-1 and kdeextragear-3 and found that 
the import of digikam introduced a couple of problems.

First of all, the idea of the libs module is that it may *not* depend on any 
kdeextragear* module and that no main kde module may depend on it.
Furthermore, apart from the dependency from kdeextragear-n on 
kdeextragear-libs-n there must not be any dependencies between KDE Extra Gear 
Modules.

That said, currently kdeextragear-libs-1 depends on digikam which is in 
kdeextragear-3. Please move the digikam lib to kdeextragear-libs-1 (kl1) to 
resolve that issue.

Second, the configure checks in kl1 do not work properly. They should fail 
when not all prerequisites are met, disabling only those parts which have 
those prerequisites. But currently configure went fine even though I do not 
have imlib-devel installed and although I am missing digikam lib (which 
should be in kl1 anyways).

In kdeextragear-3, the import of digikam caused configure to bail out 
completely when requirements of digikam are not met. 
This must not happen, you need to make sure that digikam is simply disabled
from compilation when your prerequisites are not met. But please tell the user
what was disabled and why :-)

Please fix those issues.

Regards,
  Klas
