[kde-linux] knetworkmanager won't compile...needs DBus-Qt headers

Thu Jun 14 01:50:16 UTC 2007

I am using Linux from Scratch with DBus 1.0.2 with the DBus-Qt
bindings installed. And, my DBus and DBus-Qt headers are split up like
this, so the "configure" script can't find my DBus-Qt headers, Ubuntu
7.04 has a "dbus/connection.h" wrapper header to fix this. My dbus
header dirs are split up like this (from the "tree" command):

travis at mcp-hexaflake:/tmp/tree-1.5.1.1$ ./tree /usr/include/dbus-1.0/
/usr/include/dbus-1.0/

If I try to compile knetworkmanager 0.1 (the stable version at the
time of writing), with default everything (just extract the source and
run ./configure, and then make), I get this:

travis at mcp-hexaflake:~/KNetworkManager/knetworkmanager-0.1$

Good - your configure finished. Start make now

Even though it says that knetworkmanager will not be compiled, due to
the DBus Qt headers missing, I decided to run make, and I get this:

travis at mcp-hexaflake:~/KNetworkManager/knetworkmanager-0.1$ make
WARNING: use unsermake instead of make or use a wrapper script, e.g. makeobj!!!
unsermake all

What patches do you suggest I apply to get that make error to go away?
I applied the Ubuntu patches, and those patches got that problem to go
away, but who knows what else it did to the code....

Anyways, here is the *fixed* knetworkmanager with the Ubuntu patches
applied (as you can see, it's not fixed):

Good - your configure finished. Start make now

I then ran make, and it creates a bunch of ".mo" files only.

Since it's still messed up...what do you suggest I do now?
