USE flags in KDE

Hi,

I am in the process of recompiling kdebase. To do so, I've decided to compile each components 1 by 1.

I am now currently compiling kdelibs, but I did not include any USE flags, except arts.

Does this matter? After the kdelibs are compiled, can I still get th desired functions of kdebase if I delcare the useflags for the kdebase?

Or..., do I have to recompile the kdelibs with the proper flags turned on?

RE: USE flags in KDE

It should just be possible. If kdebase really requires a useflag in kdelibs it will mention it. Or if the compilation fails it's a bug in Gentoo and you should report that at bugs.gentoo.org .

I would say: go ahead.

Thank you.

One more question. If I decide to use a pre-built binary from a GRP repository (emerge -G), how do I know what features were turned on with that package? I'd like to use it as much as possible, but I am having a hard time figuring out how that particular binary package was built...

For instance, if I want to install kdebase pre-built package, how do I know that by installing that package will give me hal support?

I don't know. Since that is more a Gentoo question than a KDE question I'd suggest to post this at forums.gentoo.org .
