Bug 234129: KDE4 does not build on FreeBSD 12.0
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=234129



--- Description ---
Because KDE5 does not work well on my box (FreeBSD 12.0, amd64, Radeon-CAICOS
dedicated graphics card) - and KDE4 worked flawlessly under 10.4 on the same
box, I thought I could fall back to KDE4 till KDE5 becomes operational.

But x11/kdelibs-kde4 does not build on a clean box (after 'pkg delete -a -f'
and building xorg and drm-kmod; radeonkms is always loaded). The build fails
with no hint as to what might be wrong.

The complete log is attached - build log + showconfig-recursive.

Request urgent help to build KDE4 while the port is still available (perhaps
till end of current month).

Also request FreeBSD ports team to provide KDE4 packages (baseapps + kdelibs +
kde-runtime + kde-workspace) for FreeBSD 12.0 till KDE5 is known to work well.


Thanks.
