Hi, I ran one of the build cmds with an extracted copy of mcopidl from your Aug.10 pkg. It is okay. I kinda think the build environment the other day was somehow pointing to libs that had --enable-final in effect, even tho mcopidl came from your pkg. I've saved a hacked copy of the arts work subdir to test it today and Aug.10 is okay. I searched the KDE bugs site using their simplest search form and found tons of hits on "enable final". It's happening everywhere it seems, but it affects a component seemingly randomly at different times probably based on what's in their CVS at a certain point and your specific environment. As for bug reports on "enable final", they're closing the reports with the same notion: don't use that flag. ;) But they do mention wanting ppl to send reports via their developer's list. Wouldn't ya know it -- our infamous political firewall here won't let us access any of the KDE lists: "Forbidden, this page (http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-nonlinux) is categorized as: Chat." TPTB think any 'chat' site is a complete waste of time, nothing to do with your job, etc. <sigh> I'm kinda tempted to whip up a patch for the main FreeBSD ports skeleton x11/kde3 Makefile.kde to do: .undef WANT_KDE_FINAL and/or a sed to remove anything anywhere looking like '--enable-final', to keep others from having this problem, and since this makefile would be .include'd in other related ports this way. Maybe wrap the .undef/sed inside a test for .if $OSVERSION > 50xxxx when gcc342 showed up on 5-Current (I feel rather certain the 'final' option worked with the system gcc333 before then). Think this would fly with y'all maybe? Other than that, I won't be able to access the KDE lists to help further. :( To me this is important enough to get the word out somehow. I just don't know how. Thanks for taking time for this. Frustratin' bein' boxed-in at work like this. -- thx, Paul Seniura. ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael Nottebrock <michaelnottebrock@gmx.net> Date: Wed, 11 Aug 2004 02:08:30 +0200 To: "P.D.
