[Kstars-devel] Problems compiling parts of KStars for KDE 4.0

[Pablo de Vicente]

Hello,

   I am trying to resume my contribution to KStars and first I am trying to 
compile KStars using KDE 4.0. But I have been unsuccessful up to now.

I have two questions. What is an .la file?. I only know of .so (dynamical 
libraries) and .a (static libraries), but I know nothing about .la libraries. 
I ask because the first error I get compiling KStars from kdeedu top 
directory is:

WARNING: use unsermake instead of make or use a wrapper script, e.g. 
makeobj!!!
/home/kde/kde-svn/trunk/kdenonbeta/unsermake/unsermake all
kstars/kstars/Makefile.am: no rule to create 
target: ./kstars/kstars/widgets/libkstarswidgets.la(./kstars/kstars/kstars)
make: *** [all] Error 1

As you can see it does not compile because it cannot find a rule to create 
libkstarswidgets.la. Any idea of what I am doing wrong?.

So I moved to kstars/kstars/widgets and tried to compile the code there to see 
if a libkstarswidgets.la library was created. But I also got another error 
here:

/home/kde/kde-svn/trunk/KDE/kdeedu/kstars/kstars/widgets/kstarsplotwidget.h:125: 
error: 'DRect' does not name a type

and many other errors related to the fact that DRect is not defined. 

I thought that was defined in kdeedu/libkdeedu/kdeeduplot but I found no type 
or class named DRect there. Is DRect a QRectf object?. If one changes it by 
QRectf that part compiles, but I am not sure this is what is supposed to be.

After that I get more errors... but I will come back to those after this is 
sorted out.

thanks

Pablo.
