hi folks

i can't compile the actually kde-workspace from source. the compiler/linker means:
[ 81%] Built target krandrtray
[ 81%] Built target kcm_keyboard_layout_automoc

so i googled around an found some infos about this issue. but the entired xorg is uptodate. i compiled my x-server in a new version for kde4. i used the the latest packages from freedesktop. my gcc is in version 4.4.2. my distribution is a clfs...

whats is my error? can any body help on this issue?

btw:
# KDE4/Oxygen-Icons
# KDE4/KdeLibs
# KDE4/KdeLibs-experimental
# KDE4/KdePimLibs
this kde-parts are compiled with the 'older' xorg-server. but on kde-workspace i run in this error. so for this reason i setting up a new xorg-server. must i now compiling EVERY package again?

Have you got all of the needed X headers installed? These are usually contained within debug packages.

i'm not shure about the headers. i used the following tutorial:
http://cblfs.cross-lfs.org/index.php/Xorg7/Intro
but with the latest package version for each part of xorg.

Whilst re-reviewing the output, I noticed that it is a case of libraries not being found, rather than missing headers.

Do you have the path to the Xorg libraries for the manually compiled X in the ld.so.conf file?

yes.
cat /etc/ld.so.conf | grep X11:
/usr/X11/lib
/usr/X11/lib64

Do you have the X keyboard support library, X Input library, X Extensions library and standard X library compiled and present in that directory?

i think so.
and all lib are sure in /usr/X11/lib[64] -> /usr/X11R7/lib[64]
i installed all latest libs from http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/lib/
and also the xcb -> http://xcb.freedesktop.org/dist/libxcb-1.4.tar.bz2
while building the xorg, there was no more dependencies.
also the kde-parts don't screem about some x-libs
i think, i will build the entire kde-env again. possible there is the error (i hope so)

Only removing and recreating the KDEBase/Workspace build directory should be required.

already tried, but the same issue...

You need to make sure the libXi library is correctly installed.

Code: Select all

trunk@grace:/usr/lib> strings -f libX* | grep XListInputDevices
libXi.a: XListInputDevices
libXi.a: XListInputDevices
libXi.a: XListInputDevices
libXi.a: XListInputDevices
libXi.so: XListInputDevices
libXi.so.6: XListInputDevices
libXi.so.6.0.0: XListInputDevices

trunk@grace:/usr/lib> strings -f libX* | grep XFreeDeviceList
libXi.a: XFreeDeviceList
libXi.a: XFreeDeviceList
libXi.a: XFreeDeviceList
libXi.a: XFreeDeviceList
libXi.so: XFreeDeviceList
libXi.so.6: XFreeDeviceList
libXi.so.6.0.0: XFreeDeviceList

trunk@grace:/usr/lib> strings -f libX* | grep XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent
libXi.a: _XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent
libXi.a: _XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent
libXi.a: _XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent
libXi.a: _XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent
libXi.so: _XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent
libXi.so.6: _XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent
libXi.so.6.0.0: _XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent

trunk@grace:/usr/lib> strings -f libX* | grep XSelectExtensionEvent
libXi.a: XSelectExtensionEvent
libXi.a: XSelectExtensionEvent
libXi.a: XSelectExtensionEvent
libXi.a: XSelectExtensionEvent

libXi.so.6: XSelectExtensionEvent

hi,

strings -f libX* | grep XListInputDevices
strings -f libX* | grep XFreeDeviceList
strings -f libX* | grep XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent
strings -f libX* | grep XSelectExtensionEvent

i tryed this in /usr/X11/lib and /usr/X11/lib64
i've got the same result like you. and now?

If you are getting a listing like mine then your system should not be encountering the error listed. Make sure that the correct libraries are found ( maybe verify your /etc/ld.so.conf configuration, as older libraries may be getting found )

Hi
I am a BLFS user from many years. My system is working (for now) with Kernel
2.6.28.2 upgdraded to 2.6.30.9, GCC-4.3.3, XOrg 7.4 and KDE-3.5.10. Last week
i take a look at new kde and i have installed qt-4.5.3 with kde-4.3.3: well, i
have found the same trouble with kde-workspace.

The make output is stopped at about 80% with:
CMakeFiles/kcm_keyboard_layout.dir/x11helper.o: In function `X11Helper::registerForNewDeviceEvent(_XDisplay*)':
x11helper.cpp:(.text+0xbb): undefined reference to `_XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent'
x11helper.cpp:(.text+0xef): undefined reference to `XSelectExtensionEvent'
CMakeFiles/kcm_keyboard_layout.dir/x11helper.o: In function `X11Helper::isNewDeviceEvent(_XEvent*)':
x11helper.cpp:(.text+0x94c): undefined reference to `XListInputDevices'
x11helper.cpp:(.text+0xc99): undefined reference to `XFreeDeviceList'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [lib/kcm_keyboard_layout.so] Error 1
make[1]: *** [kcontrol/kxkb/CMakeFiles/kcm_keyboard_layout.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

The four undefined reference are exported by XOrg LibXi and the output of
strings command is:
strings -f /usr/X11R6/lib/libX* | grep XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.a: _XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.a: _XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.a: _XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.a: _XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so: _XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6: _XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6.0.0: _XiGetDevicePresenceNotifyEvent
same good result for XSelectExtensionEvent, XListInputDevices and
XFreeDeviceList.

I am newby on KDE4 but I have think that kde-workspace don't link LibXi and
looking over kde-workspace's directory I have found a file named link.txt (the
full path is ../build/kcontrol/kxkb/kcm_keyboard_layout.dir/link.txt). Well,
LibXi is not present... I have simply write at the end of the file
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so and the compilation work fine. For prevent another
error I have do the same on ../build/kcontrol/kxkb/kdeinit_kxkb.dir/link.txt

Now, this is not a clean solution... someone know a better mode (like modify
compiler parameter)?
Bye and sorry for my english...

This sounds like a bug in CMake, the utility that powers KDE's build system. Please ask on the kde-buildsystem@kde.org, so that they can correct the build system to fully find X.

Hi bcooksley
I have send a mail to kde-buildsystem@kde.org.
Thank you so match
Bye
