[Kmymoney-devel] Building kmymoney and unresolved dependencies

[Chris]

Thanks Allan

This would appear to be a problem with kmymoney. I have compiled kmymoney 
correctly in the past but it was 4.6.1 which is the same version as can be 
downloaded as a binary.

At the suggestion of this list I am trying to compile kmymoney 4.6.4 and now 
I am getting these errors (plus others I have resolved)

I am assuming something in kmymoney has changed and introduced this error. 
Its probably a flag but I cant find it.

P.S. I hadn't searched for just "_imp__" there is a lot of chatter about it 
isn't there, I couldn't find anything specific but I'll keep looking.
