Hello,
I have just tried to upgrade my version of KDE from 3.4 to 3.5.6. I am installing from sources, but I have a build error in kioslave/mediamanager. I initally tried doing a make from kdebase and had this error, so I removed the directory tree and restarted, building kdelibs first (completed) but I got the same error in mediamanager. It seems to be related to the HAL Backend...

The only issue in the configure was that pesky WARNING about cdrom.h

I did check my /usr/include/ and there is no function dbus_bus_get_private , but there is a dbus-1.0 directory. Does anyone know which version I should use, and where I might find it?

Thanks,

David

I looked into it and my distibution (SuSE 10.0) includes dbus 0.35.2.8, the get_private function was added in September 2005 at 0.36.1

The 1.0 version was released in November 2006.

I gave up.

After resolving the D-bus issue (installing the newer library) I ran into trouble with my power management (laptop). Then after a clean restart I got into trouble with a recursive make in kdebindings, and I just couldn't spend any more time on it. I was trying to upgrade to resolve a crash in kmail which I will try to handle another way.
