[KDE/Mac] kde4.1 MacPorts available

[Vittorio Giovara]

ok here is the feedback i promised to provide
first of all i must say that i had some difficulties in building the qt4-mac
as they interruped abruptly when installing; only after a couple of macports
reinstall i managed to make it work
moreover standard qt4-mac is not enough! they MUST be build with +ssl
support: maybe we should file a ticket asking to set that variant by default

compiling and installing

- when installing kdelibs i found that two dependencies where missing:
automoc and shared-mime-info, but they can be easily add in the portfile
(right?)
- when installing automoc alone i found that the cmake dependency was not
set
- automoc places some files in /usr/local; it's not very nice, expecially if
you reinstall it as it will exit with an error
- the apps are built without a single icon! that's a little ugly... even
after installing kdeartwork (which fixed the internal icons though)
- kdebase-runtime does NOT compile properly with the phonon support of qt4;
to make it work you have to install the standalone phonon

about the applications

- konqueror doesn't file the relative html library so no browsing is
supported
- like every other application there is a strange error about dbus

      Could not start process Cannot talk to klauncher: Not connected to
D-BUS server.

  that prevents any application to work properly: any application needing to
open a file on the filesystem will simply display an empty box list
- konsole exits immediately after opening it

i hope i'm not missing something and that i have not some configuration
mistake, but this should be all
it's a good start but there still some work to do; in the meantime, is there
any solution to the problems listed above?

cheers
Vittorio
