[kde-solaris] KDE compilation woes (yet again)

[Salman Sheikh]

Hello,

Let me start with I don't want any precompiled packages for KDE. I 
rather roll my own, if possible. Invariably, something doesn't work 
right with precompiled packages, especially if there released my 
non-companies with real support (something seriously lacking with some 
open source projects, especially for the non-X86 platforms). I have kde 
3.1 compile before with some problems. I thought they would be hammered 
out with newer versions of kde especially since I had some of there 
problems before and posted them on this list and never got any helpful 
answers or bug fixes.

That said. I am trying to compile KDE 3.1.1a on my Sun Ultra 60 with 
Solaris 8. I got qt.3.1.2, arts, kdelibs and kdebase compiled. The first 
two went without any glitches. kdelibs and kdebase are gave problems.

1. On kdelibs, I failed to get bzip properly detected and don't have the 
help:// integrated as mentioned in the configure output. I know its 
because of some problem betwen the Sun bzip and the latest 1.02 version. 
I can't seem to get a shared library compiled.  I've had tried 
everything I could find by Eva, others, etc. Now I am trying to get help 
from the bzip developers, I hope.


2.ksysguard of kdelibs fails with this output:

3. In kdebase-3.1.1 the kcontrol/info compile fails with the following

response and switched to gnome instead, very pathetic indeed):

I got pass these by editing the Makefiles to ignore the ksysguard and 
info subdirectories.  This is a half-butt measure and does not install 
much confidence in the end.

Any help of any kind on any of these errors would be greatly appreciated.
