Hi guys,

I'm pretty new to KDE development and my actual project is to put KDE 4 on my internet table device. I've seen that someones have already acomplished it, but I still keep having some basic kde compilation errors.

When I try to make kdelibs this following error occurs, despite cmake finished without any fatal errors.

Code: Select all

[sbox-DIABLO_ARMEL: ~/KDE-trunc/kdelibs-build] > make
[  0%] Built target KDECMakeModulesManPage
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `kdecore/CMakeFiles/kdecore.dir/link.txt', needed by `lib/libkdecore.so.5.3.0'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [kdecore/CMakeFiles/kdecore.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2


Here is the full error listing after a successfull and clean cmake:

I thought this error might be because I didn't compile kdesupport and there might be some missing dependencies, but when I try to compile kdesupport, the same kind of error occurs ("No rule to make ....link.txt'")

I tried to compile the packages separately, some worked fine (namely automoc, soprano, akonadi, cpptoxml, phonon and qimageblitz) and the others showed the same error. Here the error listing of strigi:

If someone could give me a little hint where the possible error might be, I'd be very greatfull! Because here I'm really powerless.



The developing system:

Scratchbox (target is ARMEL (and not X86)) on a 8.04 Ubuntu on VMware on WinXP Pro
Scratchbox Compiler: cs2005q3.2-glibc2.5-arm
QT4.5 installed (I hope with all dev-libraries)
cmake 2.6.3 (self compiled without any fatal errors) [edited]

I tried it with a couple of KDE-trunk revisions since last weekend and always had the same issue. I know it's possible to compile it, because some guys already did compile kde 4 successfully under ARMEL (unfortunately they never had this errors...).
In fact what I tried/found out: this link.txt-error occured once with akonadi, but after a cmake && make && make install of soprano, I managed successfully to make akonadi. But on all sites I've seen, the cmake && make && make install of kdesupport and kdelibs should work fine and without any prerequisit packages (well...cmake tells us already if there is a missing library or not.) Or is there anything basic I've totally neglected?

I recommend contacting Marijn Kruisselbrink.

He did that for 4.2.0 so he probably knows all the tricks.

See http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3879

Cheers,

Will definitely try! Thanx for the hint!

I also read his post on http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3624 but he kinda compiled it very smoothly, never mentioned a single error... I hope he can still help me out

AFAIK you need at least cmake 2.6 to have cross-compile support. and you said that you're using cmake 2.5.3 ?

Oh, I made a slight error. In fact I'm using the latest cmake and that's 2.6.3.

But may it be due to an old version of the gcc compiler? I'm using gcc version 3.4.4 (release) (CodeSourcery ARM 2005q3-2)
(it's the latest one from the maemo-repository)
