I recently upgraded to Mandriva 2005, and thought I'd give Kopete another try. I can't stand the 0.92 version (that is part of MLE2005), because I get lots of crashes when people who should be blocked (It's like it doesn't recognize the MSN All other Users block) send me multiple messages and I hit the 'ignore' button. Anyway, that was supposed to be recently fixed in CVS.
So, I went to the Kopete site and found that the 'stable' 10.0 links are broken.
Next, I retrieved/built the CVS version, as I have many times before. Only this time, It won't compile, and it's not because of the same KDE 3.4 stuff I had worked around in the past. The configure works fine, but Make indicates several undefined references in AppearanceConfig:
.libs/appearanceconfig.o(.text+0x2908): In function `AppearanceConfig::slotGetStyles()':
: undefined reference to `KNS::Engine::Engine(KNewStuff*, QString const&, QWidget*)'
.libs/appearanceconfig.o(.text+0x29a6): In function `AppearanceConfig::slotGetStyles()':
: undefined reference to `KNS::ProviderLoader::ProviderLoader(QWidget*)'
.libs/appearanceconfig.o(.text+0x29ee): In function `AppearanceConfig::slotGetStyles()':
: undefined reference to `KNS::ProviderLoader::load(QString const&, QString const&)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[5]: *** [kcm_kopete_appearanceconfig.la] Error 1
I did some web searches, but found no references to this particular problem.
