[KPhotoAlbum] Fwd: Re: Fwd: Re: problems compiling KPA on Ubuntu 16.4 (LTS)

[Andreas Schleth]

Hi everybody,

here is an update (belatedly due to pressing other business). The build 
with recent git master does not stop at 12% but progresses to 60% ...

My daughter is considering an upgrade to 16.10 now.

But generally speaking:
Wouldn't it be sensible to have a build that is compilable on the LTS 
versions of Ubuntu (or similar not yet totally outdated systems)?
Otherwise the user base would be limited to people living at the 
bleeding edge of things.
