Kopete compile errors (solution).

Hi,

Because of the loginproblem with msn, I had to compile Kopete from source.
My distro is SuSE 9.2 (with KDE 3.3).
First I experienced the errors in docbook described in the thread "[kopete] problems building"
by Zacuke, look at his thread for a solution or (like I did) simply remove the
names the compiler complains about from docbook.

Altough the configure-script said everything was ok, the compiler was complaining
about missing jpeg libs, I had to install them first.

I had also some other errors and my "solutions" where as follows:

outcomment line 99 in gwcontactpropswidget.cpp setShadeSortColumn
outcomment line 563 in kopetechatwindow.cpp setAutomaticResizeTabs
remove "KDE_EXPORT" in line 2 and 3 in protocols/msn/dummy.cpp

After these modifications I was able to compile Kopete 0.10.1.

I hope this info is usefull to others who experience the same errors.

Grtz, Teuniz

I get the same error while doing "make" with SuSE 9.3 and KDE 3.4:

Source code

Whats the problem?

the neccessairy packages are installed:

	Source code
1 2 3 4	libxml2-2.6.17-4 libxml-1.8.17-369.2 libxslt-1.1.12-5 qt-4.0.0beta2-3

missing package is "kde". But kde is completely installed! May this be the reason for the missing libjpeg error?
By the way: libjpeg is installed:

	Source code
1	libjpeg-6.2.0-738

I hope you can help us!

Hi Goldfisch,

You need to install the libjpeg development tools for programs wich will use
the libjpeg library, via Yast.

Fehler bei make check

Well, I installed the package "libjpeg-devel" and it worked!
After half an hour it seemd to be compiled completely.

But now, I get the following message, when I "make check":

Source code

make[4]: *** [kopetepasswordtest.o] Fehler 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/tmp/kopete-0.10.1/kopete/libkopete/tests'
make[3]: *** [check-am] Fehler 2

make[1]: *** [check-recursive] Fehler 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/kopete-0.10.1/kopete'
make: *** [check-recursive] Fehler 1

can I "make install" though?

The normal procedure to compile a program is:

./configure
make
make install (as root)

Usually these three command's should be enough.
I never did a "make check", I don't know what it is, I'm not an experienced programmer...
