John, others,

I recently tried to build kde on my mac mini and ran into the same issues.
Macports phonon is too old to build kdelibs with, so I'm trying to build
kdesupport instead and getting the same failures.  Looking in my
CMakeCache.txt it has -L/opt/local/lib in many places, but in the link.txt
of strigi/strigidaemon/bin/daemon/dbus/dbustest it doesn't and that's the
first one that's failing.  Adding it in there manually gets past that and
then fails on another part of kdesupport.  I think somehow these test or
sub-projects aren't getting all the top-level link paths for some reason,
though I've no clue why.

I think next I'll stop trying to build kdesupport myself and just build
phonon and install taglib, strigi, soprano, etc. from macports.

just my 2c,
Jeremy Whiting
