           Summary: FLAC dependency isn't mentioned anywhere and can cause
                    compilation errors
           Product: kdemultimedia
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kde-multimedia at kde.org
        ReportedBy: holger.benl at gmx.de


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.1 
OS:          Linux

I tried to compile kdemultimedia-3.2 and it failed with some
error messages that mentioned FLAC (haven't got the output
here anymore, sorry), so I updated flac (from 1.0.4 to 1.1),
tried to compile again and this time it worked.

Obviously kdemultimedia uses FLAC (for a kfile-plugin), but
that (optional?) dependency is neither mentioned in
"./configure --help" nor on the KDE website with the
dependencies of KDE 3.2.

Furthermore, it seems to need the 1.1 version of FLAC, but the
configure script only seems to check whether FLAC is installed
or not, but not whether it is recent enough.
