KDE-Forum.org

Hello,

I've just finished building a linux system following the book at www.linuxfromscratch.org. I decided to go my own way from there, and it's gone well so far. The most recent think to be attempted is KDE 3.2. I started using konstruct, which apart from a few missing dependencies which I solved as they arose, it's been building quietly for the last 4 hours... then it stopped. The problem is one of those 'cannot convert data type x to data type y', and on looking around I see that using gcc 2.x is preffered over 3.x, which I have ignored. Since it's fairly likely to be the problem, can I force konstruct to use a specific compiler?

For the kernel I used 'make CC=/opt/gcc-2..... [target]'. If I do that for 'make install' in the konstruct/meta/kde directory, will it work the same? I noticed the compiling lines begin with 'g++' and not 'gcc', so is there a different variable I need to set?

Thanks for any help...

You're right the other compiler made no difference. In the end I had to just remove the troublesome package (kdesdk) from the makefile, and it went fine from then on (KDE is now running fine, very impressive too).
